Using owned and rent from the Scottish postcode data (depdata.csv), carry out the following dependent
samples tests.

What will be an ideal response?


We need to use the option alternative="greater".


wilcox.test(depdata$owned,depdata$rent, alternative="greater", paired=TRUE)


Wilcoxon signed rank test with continuity correction

data: depdata$owned and depdata$rent
V = 431910, p-value < 2.2e-16
alternative hypothesis: true location shift is greater than 0

We see that p < 2.2e-16 and thus the owned distribution is significantly greater than the rent distribution.
Therefore, our significance results are the same as they were with the t-test.
