-Chapter 18: Sign test (18. 1)
The school psychologist is currently busy studying stress during exam time. She has developed a questionaire that she
believes measures stress. A score above 80 indicates stress at a dangerous level.
A random sample of 16 senior learners revealed an average stress level of 84.25
You may assume that stress levels are normally distributed with standard deviation of 8

median mean
Two categories: either less than median or more than median
Note: non parametric statistics in general refer to statistical methods in which the data is not required to fit a
normal distribution. It is also called ‘distribution-free’ statistics
In concluding the sign test, we compare each observation to the hypothesized value of the population median
I
Observation > hypothesized value, record a ‘+’ sign
⑧
Observation < hypothesized value, record ‘-‘ sign
A
Observation = hypothesized value, eliminate the observation and proceed with the smaller sample.
Test statistic: the number of plus signs

Management made the decision to stock a new potato chip product
based on the manufacturer's estimate that the median sales should be
$450 per week on a per store basis

, A physician is interested in the duration of non medicated patients' visit to the private practice. It is
believed that the median duration of visit for each patient was at least 22 minutes. Test wether the
median visit duration of patients is shorter than 22 minutes. A random sample of 25 visits in a practice
with a large Medicaid load yielded, in order. The following duration of visits:
