Trophy sizes. The table gives the names, dates first awarded, and heights (inches) of major trophies and awards in sports and entertainment. The America’s Cup, awarded for sailing, claims to be the oldest such award. The first five were created in the 19th century (which ended in 1900, not in 1899). The others were created after a gap of 26 years.

When the creation of new awards was begun again, were the trophies the same size? Compare the two groups with an appropriate nonparametric measure. Complete the test at a = 0.10.
