题目

Problem

A large school sets an English exam for all students in a particular year group. Two teachers will be marking the scripts. To check for consistency of marking between the teachers, 1010 scripts are selected at random and independently marked by each teacher. The marks awarded are shown in the following table.

(a) Give a reason why a Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test might be more appropriate than a paired sample tt-test in this situation.

(1)

(b) Carry out a Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test at the 5%5\% significance level to investigate whether, on average, there is a difference between the marks awarded by the two teachers.

题目中文翻译

一所大型学校为某个年级的所有学生安排了一次英语考试,由两位教师批改试卷。为检查两位教师评分的一致性,随机抽取 1010 份试卷,由每位教师独立评分。所给分数如下表。

(a) 给出一个理由,说明在这种情况下,Wilcoxon 配对符号秩检验可能比配对样本 tt 检验更合适。

(1)

(b) 在 5%5\% 的显著性水平下进行 Wilcoxon 配对符号秩检验,考察两位教师所给分数在平均水平上是否存在差异。

原卷通用作答要求

Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.

You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.

Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

同一份答卷的两位老师评分是配对的。检查差值总体是否有理由假设正态。

答题过程

展开

With only ten paired observations and no stated normality for the population of mark differences, the normality assumption of a paired tt-test may be unsuitable. A signed-rank test can be used under a symmetry assumption for those differences.

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

取第二位老师减第一位老师的分数。对绝对差排名,恢复符号后取较小秩和做双侧检验。

答题过程

展开

Let mDm_D be the population median of Teacher 2 minus Teacher 1 marks for the same script. Test H0 ⁣:mD=0H_0\colon m_D=0 against H1 ⁣:mD≠0H_1\colon m_D\ne0. The differences, in student order, are

 4, 8, 15, 3, −1, −2, 5, −7, 11, 6.\begin{align*} &\,4,\ 8,\ 15,\ 3,\ -1,\\ &\,-2,\ 5,\ -7,\ 11,\ 6. \end{align*}

The corresponding signed ranks are

 4, 8, 10, 3, −1, −2, 5, −7, 9, 6.\begin{align*} &\,4,\ 8,\ 10,\ 3,\ -1,\\ &\,-2,\ 5,\ -7,\ 9,\ 6. \end{align*}

Their negative and positive rank sums are 1010 and 4545, so the statistic is T=10T=10.

For 1010 nonzero differences the two-sided 5%5\% critical value is 88. Since 10>810>8, we fail to reject H0H_0. There is insufficient evidence at the 5%5\% level of a systematic difference between the marks awarded by the two teachers.
