Mann Whitney Critical Value Table. The value you will compare to the U-critical value will be the smaller of. Since R 1 1175 and R 2 1585 we can calculate U 1 and U 2 to get U 395. Step 7 Determine the critical values of U using the table. Since our test statistic 12 is greater than our critical value 6 we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
For one-tail tests double the value of alpha and use the appropriate two-tailed table. You can also get an approximate value by sampling. Using n 1 8 and n 2 7 with a significance level of 01 the Mann-Whitney U Table tells us that the critical value is 6. You are doing a one sided directional test. As 145 is not less than 6 we cannot reject the null hypothesis meaning that the team cannot conclude with 95 confidence that the heights of the two cohorts are different. The critical value for this test with n 1 8 n 2 7 and α 005 is 10 and the decision rule is as follows.
For one-tailed tests simply double the value of alpha and use the appropriate two-tailed table.
Suppose our obtained U is 22 with N1 13 and N2 16The critical value of U is 59. The following tables provide critical values for two tailed Mann-Whitney U tests for various levels of alpha. As 145 is not less than 6 we cannot reject the null hypothesis meaning that the team cannot conclude with 95 confidence that the heights of the two cohorts are different. The following tables provide the critical values of Ufor various values of alpha and the sizes of the two samples for the two-tailed test. Note that the Mann-Whitney test is unusual in. A table of critical values of U shows you how likely it is to obtain your particular value of U purely by chance.
