Assume that the following data set is not normally distributed. (21, 18, 4, 9, 14, 16, 17, 12, 15, 8, 7, 5) -If H_a: M_d < 6,then the value of S is: A)0 B)1 C)2 D)3 E)4

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The value of S is the number of positive differences between the data points and the hypothesized median (6). Here, the positive differences are: (21-6), (18-6), (9-6), (14-6), (16-6), (17-6), (12-6), (15-6), (8-6), (7-6), (5-6). There are 2 positive differences.
