Researchers at the University of Mississippi wanted to determine if the median reaction time (in seconds) of males differed from the median reaction time of females to a choice stimulus. The researchers randomly selected 16 females and 12 males to participate in the study. The choice stimulus required the student to respond differently to different stimuli. The results are as below. Are the reaction times different at the α = 0.01 level of significance?
