Hi,
I?ve done a Wilcoxon test for testing the difference between two groups.
Now I have a doubt about the interpretation of the result of this test.
I don?t know which one is my real p-value. The one Prob > z = 0.0216
or 0.604??? The obtained result is:
.ranksum a_firmenbewertung, by (zugeh) porder
Two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum (Mann-Whitney) test
zugeh obs rank sum expected
Ehemalige Pr 84 7327.5 6678
Direkteinste 74 5233.5 5883
combined 158 12561 12561
unadjusted variance 82362.00
adjustment for ties -2423.03
----------
adjusted variance 79938.97
Ho: a_firm~g(zugeh==Ehemalige Praktikanten) =
a_firm~g(zugeh==Direkteinsteiger)
z = 2.297
Prob > z = 0.0216
P{a_firm~g(zugeh==Ehemalige Praktikanten) >
a_firm~g(zugeh==Direkteinsteiger)} = 0.604
Thanks for your support
Vanessa
