14. Therapeutic Taping A physical therapist claims that the use of a specific type of therapeutic tape reduces pain in patients with chronic tennis elbow. The table shows the pain levels on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain possible, for 15 patients with chronic tennis elbow when holding a 1 kilogram weight. At α = 0.05, is there enough evidence to support the therapist’s claim? (Adapted from BioMed Central, Ltd.)

P-values In Exercises 17–20, do the following:
a. Identify the hypothesis test as being two-tailed, left-tailed, or right-tailed.
b. Find the P- value. (See Figure 8-3 on page 364.)
c. Using a significance level of α = 0.05, should we reject H0 or should we fail to reject H0?
The test statistic of z = 1.00 is obtained when testing the claim that p > 0.3.
Applying the Concepts and SkillsIn Exercises, perform a Kruskal–Wallis test by using either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach.TV-Commercial Placement. In the article “Violence and Sex Impair Memory for Television Ads” (Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol. 87, No. 3, pp. 557–564), B. Bushman and A. Bonacci studied whether the type of television program in which commercials are placed affects a viewer’s ability to remember the product. Participants watched a violent, sexually explicit, or neutral TV program that contained nine advertisements. The next day, participants were asked to recall the advertised brands. The number of brands the participants were able to recall are presented in the following table.
