Does it appear that the distributions of eye-movement rates for deaf children and hearing children differ? Test at = 0.05 using the Wilcoxon rank sum test.
The null and alternate hypotheses are: : The distributions of eye-movement rates for hearing impaired children and hearing children are identical. : The distributions of eye-movement rates for hearing impaired children and hearing children are different.
What is the test statistic?
T: ______________
What is the critical value for the test statistic?
______________
Thus: ______________
Conclude:
