In: Statistics and Probability
A sample of 15 consumers provided the following product ratings for three different products. Five consumers were randomly assigned to test and rate each product.
Product | ||
---|---|---|
A | B | C |
53 | 83 | 63 |
60 | 99 | 49 |
79 | 91 | 33 |
41 | 82 | 51 |
69 | 93 | 52 |
Use the Kruskal-Wallis test and α = 0.05 to determine whether there is a significant difference among the ratings for the products.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: MedianA = MedianB
= MedianC
Ha: MedianA < MedianB
> MedianCH0: MedianA =
MedianB = MedianC
Ha: MedianA ≠ MedianB ≠
MedianC H0:
Not all populations of product ratings are identical.
Ha: All populations of product ratings are
identical.H0: All populations of product
ratings are identical.

Find the value of the test statistic.
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion.
Reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference among the ratings for the products.Do not reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference among the ratings for the products. Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference among the ratings for the products.Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference among the ratings for the products.
Kruskal-Wallis test steps
Based on test done above following are answers to all parts:
The null and alternative hypotheses:
Correction answer is:
H0: All populations of product ratings are identical
Ha: Not all populations of product ratings are identical
Test Statistics: 10.22
p-value = 0.006
Since p = 0.006 < 0.05, Reject null hypothesis H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference among the ratings for the products.
