Reconsider the situation described in Exercise 32 of Section 9.2, and use the Wilcoxon test with = .05 to test the relevant hypotheses.
A sample of 12 radon detectors of a certain type was selected, and each was exposed to 100 pCi/L of radon. The resulting readings were as follows:
a. Does this data suggest that the population mean reading under these conditions differs from 100? State and test the appropriate hypotheses using = .05.
b. Suppose that prior to the experiment, a value of = 7.5 had been assumed. How many determinations would then have been appropriate to obtain = .10 for the alternative = 95?
