Using the following data, calculate both the F-value and the Kruskal-Wallis statistic as presented in Question 4, without adjusting. Compare the two results.
Similarly, the KW statistic is given by summing the ranks of the different groups, so that we get
Thus, comparing F with F.05,2,12 = 3.89, the critical value leads us to reject the null hypothesis.
Comparing H with the chi-squared2 = 5.991, so that we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
Sometimes the lack of power associated with a nonparametric test prevents us from rejecting the
null hypothesis.
