Dan Thompson, the president of CEO Airlines, recently noted an increase in the number of no-shows for flights out of Atlanta. He is particularly interested in determining whether there are a different number of no-shows for flights that originate from Atlanta compared with flights leaving Chicago. Below are the numbers of no-shows for scheduled flights:

Atlanta: 11, 15, 10, 18, 11, 20, 24, 22, 25

Chicago: 13, 14, 10, 8, 16, 9, 17, 21

Is there evidence of a difference in the median performance between the two methods? (Use alpha = 0.05.)

You may do this by hand or use Excel, but make sure your hypothesis and testing steps are clear. Explain your results.
