A one-sample test‚ also known as a goodness of fit test‚ shows whether the collected data is useful in making a prediction about the population. One sample tests are used when we have a single sample and wish to test the hypothesis that it comes from a specified population.

assume that the basis of a model is predetermined. In a previous paper we discussed a hypothesis with single and double samples. Now we will conduct the equivalent‚ nonparametric test of the real estate hypothesis using another five-step process. The testing we will use in this paper will be the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test compares a single sample median with a benchmark using only ranks of data instead of the original observations. It is used to compare paired observations
