Distribution-Free Confidence Intervals
The method we have used so far to construct a confidence interval (CI) can be
described as follows: Start with a random variable (Z, T, ~, F, or the like) that
depends on the parameter of interest and a probability statement involving the
variable, manipulate the inequalities of the statement to isolate the parameter
between random endpoints, and finally substitute computed values for random
variables. Another general method for obtaining CIs takes advantage of a relation-
ship between test procedures and CIs. A 100(1 — «)% CI for a parameter @ can be
obtained from a level « test for Ho: 0 = 09 versus H,: 6 # 0. This method will
be used to derive intervals associated with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the
Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
Before using the method to derive new intervals, reconsider the f test and the
t interval. Suppose a random sample of n = 25 observations from a normal
population yields summary statistics t= 100, s = 20. Then a 90% CI for yu is
