Mann-Whitney U Test Calculator

Nonparametric two-sample test for whether one sample tends to have larger values than another. Returns U, normal-approximation z, and a two-sided p-value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Mann-Whitney U test?

Whether two independent samples come from the same distribution (specifically: stochastic equality). Doesn't require normal data.

Mann-Whitney vs t-test?

Use Mann-Whitney when data isn't normal or n is small. The t-test assumes normality and is more powerful when that holds.

How are ties handled?

This calculator uses average ranks for ties (standard practice). A more advanced version applies a tie correction to the SD.
