10. Property Values II In Exercise 10

(Section 15.2), you used the sign test to determine whether the data provided sufficient evidence to indicate that assessor A tends to give higher assessments than assessor B, using the data shown in the table

a. Use the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for a paired experiment to test the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the distributions of property assessments between assessors A and B against the onetailed alternative, using a value of a near .05.

b. Compare the conclusion of the test in part a with the conclusions derived from the results of the t-test and the sign test in Exercises 10

(a) and 10

(b) (Section 15.2).
Explain why these test conclusions are (or are not)
consistent
