### Q5

In general, are rank randomization tests or randomization tests more powerful?

### Q6

What is the advantage of rank randomization tests over randomization tests?

### Q7

Test whether the differences among conditions for the data in Problem 1 is significant (one tailed) at the $$0.01$$ level using a rank randomization test.

## Questions from Case Studies

The following question uses data from the SAT and GPA case study.

### Q8
