Statistics

The better-selling candies are often high in calories. Assumethat the following data show the calorie content from samples ofM&M's, Kit Kat, and Milky Way II.

M&M'sKit KatMilky Way II
250245200
230225228
240215202
220235190
250210180

Assuming we don't know about the shape of the populationdistribution, use the Kruskal-Wallis Test to test for significantdifferences among the calorie content of these three candies.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H0: MedianMM =MedianKK = MedianMW
Ha: MedianMM ≠ MedianKK ≠MedianMW

H0: MedianMM ≠MedianKK ≠ MedianMW
Ha: MedianMM = MedianKK =MedianMW    

H0: All populations of calories areidentical.
Ha: Not all populations of calories areidentical.

H0: MedianMM =MedianKK = MedianMW
Ha: MedianMM >MedianKK > MedianMW

H0: Not all populations of calories areidentical.
Ha: All populations of calories areidentical.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to twodecimal places.)

=

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimalplaces.)

p-value =

At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?

Reject H0. There is not sufficient evidenceto conclude that there is a significant difference among thecalorie content of these three candies

.Do not reject H0. There is not sufficientevidence to conclude that there is a significant difference amongthe calorie content of these threecandies.
