Question

The National Football League (NFL) holds its annual draft of the nation's best college football players in April each year. Prior to the draft, various sporting news services project the players who will be drafted along with the order in which each will be selected in what are called mock drafts. Players who are considered to have superior potential as professional football players are selected earlier in the draft. Suppose the following table shows projections by one mock draft service of what position in the first round players from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten Conference, the PAC-12 Conference, and the Southeastern Conference will be selected.

ACC		Big Ten		PAC-12		SEC
College Attended	Projected Draft Position	College Attended	Projected Draft Position	College Attended	Projected Draft Position	College Attended	Projected Draft Position
Florida State	2	Iowa	9	USC	4	Florida	1
Clemson	5	Michigan St	10	Oregon	7	Alabama	3
Miami	6	Nebraska	11	Oregon	15	Kentucky	8
Georgia Tech	13	Minnesota	26	Washington	16	Texas A&M	12
Louisville	17	Wisconsin	28	UCLA	18	Missouri	14
Wake Forest	20			UCLA	21	Alabama	19
Florida State	22			Stanford	23	LSU	25
Virginia Tech	29			Arizona St	24	LSU	27

Use the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine if there is any difference among NFL teams for players from these four conferences. Use α = 0.05.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

What is the p-value? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer 1

Based on above calculation answers are as follows:

1. Test Statistics = 0.60

2. P-value = 0.896 (Obtained using online calculator for Chi-Square = 0.604 and df = 3. Screenshot attached)

3. There is not enough evidence to claim that there is difference among NFL teams for players from these four conferences
