An environmental scientist conducted a study using a Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks test to investigate whether there is a significant difference in air particulate matter (PM2.5\text{PM}_{2.5}PM2.5) levels after a city-wide 'Car-Free Sunday' compared to the previous Sunday.
The Wilcoxon test yielded an observed (calculated) value of T=7T = 7T=7 for N=10N = 10N=10 monitoring stations.
| Significance Level | 0.05 | 0.025 | 0.01 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical value | 10 | 8 | 5 |
Using the critical values table above, explain whether the researcher has found a significant difference or not.
