A Scientist Is Hoping to Compare the Levels of DDT

Question 72

Short Answer

A scientist is hoping to compare the levels of DDT toxin found in three species of fish in a local river. He randomly samples 7 of each species to use in the analysis. For each fish, he measures the amount of DDT toxin present. The data is shown below:  Species 1238.44.50.58154.222532.25.62.37.44.62.50.358.26.81.96.15.12.7\begin{array}{l}\text { Species }\\\begin{array} { c | c | c } 1 & 2 & 3 \\\hline 8.4 & 4.5 & 0.58 \\15 & 4.2 & 2 \\25 & 3 & 2.2 \\5.6 & 2.3 & 7.4 \\4.6 & 2.5 & 0.35 \\8.2 & 6.8 & 1.9 \\6.1 & 5.1 & 2.7\end{array}\end{array}

Ideally he will be able to determine if a difference exists in the population of DDT toxins found in the three fish species. Identify the rejection region that should be used to conduct the Kruskal-Wallis H\mathrm { H } - Test at α=0.05\alpha = 0.05 .
A) Reject H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } if H>7.81473\mathrm { H } > 7.81473
B) Reject H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } if H>9.48773\mathrm { H } > 9.48773
C) Reject H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } if H>7.37776\mathrm { H } > 7.37776
D) Reject H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } if H>5.99147\mathrm { H } > 5.99147
