Chapter 16.1, Problem 5E

The effectiveness of antidepressants in treating the eating disorder bulimia was examined in the article “Bulimia Treated with Imipramine: A Placebo-Controlled Double-Blind Study” (American Journal of Psychology [1983]: 554–558). A group of patients diagnosed with bulimia were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups, one receiving imipramine and the other a placebo. One of the variables recorded was binge frequency. The authors chose to analyze the data using a rank-sum test because it makes no assumption of normality. They stated that “because of the wide range of some measures, such as frequency of binges, the rank sum is more appropriate and somewhat more conservative.”

Data on number of binges during one week that are consistent with the findings of the article are given in the following table:

Do these data strongly suggest that imipramine is effective in reducing the mean number of binges per week? Use a level 0.05 rank-sum test.
