Exact sign tests — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

After removing zero differences, 10 independent paired differences contain 9 positive and 1 negative values. The alternative is a positive population median difference.

Use a 5% significance level for a written conclusion. A distribution calculator may be used for numerical p-values.

Find the expected positive count under \(\displaystyle H_{0}\).

Enter one number or fraction. Use at least six decimal places when needed; a distribution calculator may be used for probabilities.

Wilcoxon signed-rank tests — objective 3

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Independent paired differences are \(-1,2,3,-4,5,6,7,8,9\). Their absolute values are distinct. Assume a continuous symmetric population of differences and test for a positive shift.
