Solution
Parameter of Interest:
Interest:
The parameter of interest is the median of the distribution of
propellant shear strength.
Null hypothesis, H0:
H 0 : = 13790 k N m 2
Null hypothesis, H1:
H1 : 13790 k N m 2

We will reject H0 if z0 > z0.025 = 1.96 or z0 < z0.025 = 1.96

Conclusions:
Conclusions:
Since 1.96 < 1.789 < 1.96, we failed to reject H0. Thus, our conclusion is
identical to those in Example-1.
9.9.2 The Wilcoxon Signed-
Signed-Rank Test
Alternative Hypothesis:
Hypothesis:
H1 : 13790 k N m 2
Test statistic:
statistic:
The test statistics is
w = min ( w+ , w )
Reject H0 if:
if:
*
We will reject H0 if w w0.05 = 52 from Appendix Table IX.
Computations:
Computations:
The sum of the positive ranks is:
w+ = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 ) = 150
The sum of the absolute values of the negative ranks is:
w = ( 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 14 ) = 60
Therefore, w = min (150, 60 ) = 60
The signed ranks from Table 1 are shown in the following display:

Conclusions:
Conclusions:
Since w = 60 is not less than or equal to the critical value w0.05 = 52, we cannot
reject the null hypothesis that the mean (or median, since the population is
assumed to be symmetric) shear strength is 13790 kN/m2.
