Explanation The test hypothesis is given as follows: Null hypothesis: H 0 : The durability of the paint was equal for three different conditions. Alternative hypothesis: H 1 : The durability of the paint was different for three different conditions. Here, the test statistic H follows the chi-square distribution with k − 1 degrees of freedom. Where, k is the number of populations and H is the test statistic. In order to formulate the decision rule, the chi-square is used. In this context, the number of populations is 3. Degrees of freedom for populations: k − 1 = 3 − 1 = 2 From Appendix B, Table B.7 the critical values of chi-square: Procedure: 1. In the table, first locate 2 in the first z column. 2. Locate the value of 0.01 in the second row. 3. Locate the value, by the intersection of the row and column values give the critical value. The critical value for 2 df for the 0.01 significance level is 9.210. Decision rule: If H > 9.210 , reject the null hypothesis. Otherwise, fail to reject the null hypothesis. In this context, the test statistic for Kruskal–Wallis test is denoted as H . Test statistic, H : H = 12 n ( n + 1 ) [ ( ∑ R 1 ) 2 n 1 + ( ∑ R 2 ) 2 n 2 + ... + ( ∑ R k ) 2 n k ] − 3 ( n + 1 ) . Where, k is the number of populations. R 1 , R 2 , ... R k is rank of samples 1, 2,… k, respectively. n 1 , n 2 , ... n k is size of samples 1, 2,… k, respectively. n is the combined number of observations for all samples. In this context, it is necessary to rank all the observations. The following table represents the ranks of all the samples: Saltwater Rank 1 Freshwater Rank 2 Freshwater With weeds Rank 3 167

Rapid drainage of floodwater is crucial to prevent damage during heavy rains. Several designs for a drainage canal were considered for a certain city. Each design was tested five times, to determine how long it took to drain the water reservoir. The following table presents the drainage times, in minutes. Channel Type Drainage Time 1 41.5 43.2 50.2 41.2 24.2 2 38.8 48.2 51.0 38.1 25.2 3 32.7 33.5 35.0 22.7 24.7 4 26.5 30.7 33.1 23.8 26.7 5 45.1 47.3 48.4 37.1 40.0 Can you conclude that there is a difference in the mean drainage times for the different channel designs?

The quantity of dissolved oxygen is a measure of water pollution in lakes, rivers, and streams. Water samples were taken at four different locations in a river in an effort to determine if water pollution varied from location to location. Location I was 500 meters above an industrial plant water discharge point and near the shore. Location II was 200 meters above the discharge point and in midstream. Location III was 50 meters downstream from the discharge point and near the shore. Location IV was 200 meters downstream from the discharge point and in midstream. The following table shows the results. Lower dissolved oxygen readings mean more pollution. Because of the difficulty in getting midstream samples, ecology students collecting the data had fewer of these samples. Use a 5% level of significance. Do we reject or not reject the claim that the quantity of dissolved oxygen does not vary from one location to another? Location I Location II Location III Location IV 7.6 6.3 4.6…
