Question 32

Essay

Preliminary data analyses indicates that use of a paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test is reasonable. Perform the hypothesistest by using a paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Assume that the null hypothesis is H0:μ1=μ2\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu _ { 1 } = \mu _ { 2 }
-The systolic blood pressure readings of ten subjects before and after following a particular diet for a month are shown in the following table.
 Subject  Before  After  A 175162 B 192190 C 167170 D 180180 E 161153 F 203197 G 185191 H 176174 I 204192 J 146150\begin{array} { c c c } \text { Subject } & \text { Before } & \text { After } \\ \hline \text { A } & 175 & 162 \\ \text { B } & 192 & 190 \\ \text { C } & 167 & 170 \\ \text { D } & 180 & 180 \\ \text { E } & 161 & 153 \\ \text { F } & 203 & 197 \\ \text { G } & 185 & 191 \\ \text { H } & 176 & 174 \\ \text { I } & 204 & 192 \\ \text { J } & 146 & 150 \end{array}
