ANSWER:Solution 6BSC Step 1 : Given, In the above example the data consists of the taxi-out times of American Airlines Flights 19 and 21 taken randomly, so the observations from the same population. Hence first requirement of the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test satisfied. Each samples contains 12 values in each taxi-out times, it satisfies the second condition that the each sample should have the same median. Therefore, both the requirements of the Wilcoxon Sum-Rank test satisfies. Hypothesis : H :0The median of the taxi-out times of flight 19 is equal to the median of the taxi-out times of flight 21. H :1The median of the taxi-out times of flight 19 is not equal to the median of the taxi-out times of flight 21.
