Complete Table 2 and calculate the Mann-Whitney U U\,U value for the results of Maya's investigation.
Use the following formulas for the Mann-Whitney U U\,U test:
Ua=nanb+na(na+1)2−Ra U_a = n_a n_b + \frac{n_a(n_a + 1)}{2} - R_a Ua=nanb+2na(na+1)−Ra Ub=nanb+nb(nb+1)2−Rb U_b = n_a n_b + \frac{n_b(n_b + 1)}{2} - R_b Ub=nanb+2nb(nb+1)−Rbwhere:
