Assume that the quantitative variable is measured on a interval scale -- that the difference between the ratings of “2” and “4” mean the same thing as the difference between the ratings of “8” and “6”.2. Assume that the quant variable is normally distributed.3. Assume that the two samples have the same variability (homogeneity of variance assumption)Given these assumptions, we can use a t-test tp assess the H0: M1 = M2Nonparametric tests for BG Designs using ~ND/~Int variablesIf we want to “avoid” these first two assumptions, we can apply the Mann-Whitney U-testThe test does not depend upon the interval properties of the data, only their ordinal properties -- and so we will convert the values to ranks• lower scores have lower ranks, and vice versa• e.g. #1 values 10 11 13 14 16 ranks 1 2 3 4 5• Tied values given the “average rank” of all scores with that value• e.g. #2 values 10 12 12 13 16 ranks 1 2.5 2.5 4 5• e.g., #3 values 9 12 13 13 13 ranks 1 2 4 4 4Preparing these data for analysis as ranks...

U=0 when the summed ranks for the two groups are the same (H0:) All the values are ranked at once -- ignoring which condition each “S” was in.Notice the group with the higher values has the higher summed ranksThere are two different “versions” of the H0: for the Mann-Whitney U-test, depending upon which text you read. The “older” version reads:H0: The samples represent populations with the same distributions of scores.Under this H0:, we might find a significant U because the samples from the two populations differ in terms of their:• centers (medians - with rank data)• variability or spread• shape or skewnessThis is a very “general” H0: and rejecting it provides little info.Also, this H0: is not strongly parallel to that of the t-test (which is specifically about mean differences)Over time, “another” H0: has emerged, and is more commonly seen in textbooks today:H0: The two samples represent populations with the same median (assuming these populations have distributions with identical variability and shape).You can see that this H0:• increases the specificity of the H0: by making assumptions (That’s how it works -
