The median weight of a particular species of adult female monkey in a certain locality A is 8.41 kg. A sample of adult females of the same species from a different locality B yielded the following weights in kg:

                     8.3   9.5    9.6    8.75    8.40   9.1   9.25   9.8   10.05   8.15   10     9.60   9.80   9.2   9.3

Can we conclude that the median weight of the population of adult female monkey from locality B exceed that of locality A at α=0.05 significance level? Use an appropriate exact non-parametric test.


If you could state what type of test was used, that would be very helpful as well. Thanks!

An adult female of species felis catus has given birth to five individuals. The birth weight of the first four young, in grams, are x = 99, 92, 96, 110. Assuming the birth weights of felis catus are normally distributed, what is the probability that the fifth young has a birth weight of 90g or less? (This must be expressed as a number between 0 and 1).
