Question:

A researcher concerned with racial justice suspects that jurors might perceive the severity of a crime as greater when the victim is white rather than black. She provides mock jurors with videotapes of trials (in which the victim is not shown) and arbitrarily describes the victim as either white or black. Using the following severity scores (1 for less serious to 9 for most serious), apply the median test to determine if there is a significant difference between crimes against white and black victims.
