Application

(a) Suppose you wanted to compare the medians instead of the means.  Explain how you would modify your simulation.

 

(b) State the null and alternative hypotheses for this research question (in words).

 

(c) Use the Statistic pull-down menu on the left side of the applet and change from Difference in means to Difference in medians. Generate a new null distribution to analyze whether the observed difference in sample medians is statistically significant. (Explain your process.) Include a screen capture of your output and estimated p-value.



Include a screen capture of your output in your report.

(d) How has the strength of evidence against the null hypothesis changed for this choice of statistic? (Justify)
