In each of Exercises C.168–C.I74, determine whether the number of observations is large enough to use Friedman 's test as given in Procedure C.6 on page C-102. If the number of observations is large enough, apply that procedure to perform a Friedman test at the 5% significance level using either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach.
