studying carriers of genetic diseases followed subjects subdivided by race.
Researchers randomly selected seven patients per race who had been identified as
carrying a certain gene for a genetic disease; these patients were followed to
determine the number of their siblings who also carried the gene for the genetic
disease. Use the Kruskal-Wallis Test at a .05 significance level to test the claim that
the different races have samples that come from populations with equal medians of
siblings who also carry the gene.
-Identify the critical value .
