An engineer wishes to determine if the stopping distance for midsize automobiles is different from that of compact automobiles at 75 mph. The data is shown below.

Automobile 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Midsize 188 190 195 192 186 194 188 187 214 203

Compact 200 211 206 297 198 204 218 212 196 193

a) State the null and alternate hypotheses.

b) Use a Wilcoxon rank sum test to determine if there is a difference in the stopping distances between Midsize and compact cars. Copy and paste the results of the test into your Word document.

According to Halpern (1999 as cited in Wang & Zheng (2016) "Critical thinking refers to the use of cognitive skills or strategies that increase the probability of a desirable outcome. Critical thinking is purposeful, reasoned, and goal-directed. It is the kind of thinking involved in solving problems, formulating inferences, calculating likelihoods, and making decisions. Critical thinkers use these skills appropriately, without prompting, and usually with conscious intent, in a variety of settings. That is, they are predisposed to think critically. When we think critically, we are evaluating the outcomes of our thought processes – how good a decision is or how well a problem is solved. (p. 69)." What is the role of critical thinking in psychology? How important is Critical Thinking to the field of psychology? ( NO Plagiarism 225-250 word discussion )
