The better-selling candies are often high in calories. Assumethat the following data show the calorie content from samples ofM&M's, Kit Kat, and Milky Way II.

M&M's	Kit Kat	Milky Way II
250	245	200
230	225	228
240	215	202
220	235	190
250	210	180

Assuming we don't know about the shape of the populationdistribution, use the Kruskal-Wallis Test to test for significantdifferences among the calorie content of these three candies.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

H₀: Median_MM =Median_KK = Median_MW
H_a: Median_MM ≠ Median_KK ≠Median_MW

H₀: Median_MM ≠Median_KK ≠ Median_MW
H_a: Median_MM = Median_KK =Median_MW    

H₀: All populations of calories areidentical.
H_a: Not all populations of calories areidentical.

H₀: Median_MM =Median_KK = Median_MW
H_a: Median_MM >Median_KK > Median_MW

H₀: Not all populations of calories areidentical.
H_a: All populations of calories areidentical.

Find the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to twodecimal places.)

=

Find the p-value. (Round your answer to three decimalplaces.)

p-value =

At a 0.05 level of significance, what is your conclusion?

Reject H₀. There is not sufficient evidenceto conclude that there is a significant difference among thecalorie content of these three candies

.Do not reject H₀. There is not sufficientevidence to conclude that there is a significant difference amongthe calorie content of these threecandies.
