Sum of Ranks 64 53 19

B. What is the value of the Kruskal-Wallis test statistic H?

Answer :
n = n1 + n2 + n3
=5+6+5
= 16
df =k–1
=3–1
=2

H=
12
n(n+1) [ R12
n1
+
R22
n2
+
R32
n3 ] - 3(n+1)
12
H = 16(16+1 [ 642 532 192
5 + 6 + 5 ] - 3(16+1
)
)

H=

H= 0.0441 [ 819.

H= 0.0441 [ 1359.56 ]- 51

H= 8.98
