Multiple Choice

Refer to the MegaStat/Excel output for the Wilcoxon rank sum test given in the table below.
At a significance level of .05,which one of the following rejection point conditions is correct regarding the null hypothesis H₀: D₁ and D₂ are identical probability distributions and the alternative hypothesis of H_a: D₁ is shifted to the left of D₂.

• A)We reject H₀ and conclude that there is very strong evidence that the median value of the first sample significantly differs from the median value of the second sample.
• B)We reject H₀ and conclude that there is very strong evidence that the median value of the first sample is significantly less than the median value of the second sample.
• C)We do not reject H₀ and conclude there is not sufficient evidence that the median value of the first sample is significantly less than the median value of the second sample.
• D)We do not reject H₀ and conclude there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the median value of the first sample is not significantly different than the median value of the second sample.
• E)We failed to reject H₀ and conclude there is very strong evidence that the median value of the first sample is significantly less than the median value of the second samplE.
