The following data represent the time, in minutes, that a patient has to wait during 12 visits to a doctor’s office before being seen by the doctor:
17 15 20 20 32 28 12 26 25 25 35 24
Use a test at the 0.05 level of significance to test the doctor’s claim that the median waiting time for her patients is not more than 20 minutes.
Perform the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test, and then explain why it is an invalid testing method in this case.
