A survey dataset contains cholesterol level (mg/dL) for ?1=10 female and ?2=12 male adults. female:218,164,217,215,180,188,245,241,318,238 male:167,149,218,133,154,221,148,220,339,237,205,197 Use the Wilcoxon rank sum test to compare the distributions of cholesterol level for female and male adults. Compute the sum of ranks for each sample with ties, the mean of the test statistic, the standard deviation of the test statistic and the ?-value. Do not use a continuity correction for the ?-value. Give the sum of ranks to one decimal place, the mean and standard deviation both to two decimals, and the ?-value to four decimals. sum of ranks for female, ?1=
