Here are some data based on a study by St. Leger, et al. (1978 and described in Howell, 1995). The data come from 10 countries. One variable is the number of physicians per 10,000 population. The other variable is an infant mortality rate that is adjusted so that the wealth of the country is not being measured. Analyze the data with a nonparametric test and comment on the results and write a conclusion.
