Cranor and Christensen studied diabetics insured by two employers. Group 1 subjects were employed by the City of Asheville, North Carolina, and Group 2 subjects were employed by Mission-St. Joseph's Health System. At the start of the study, the researchers needed to determine if a significant difference in weight existed between the two study groups. The data are displayed in the table on page 696 in Exercise 13.6.1 of the textbook and can be found on Canvas.

Suppose you are asked to conduct a Mann-Whitney test on the given data comparing the median weight for Group 1 to the median weight of Group 2. Perform the test using SPSS. What is the p-value? Use 3 decimal places.

Question at position 2

Based on your p-value from the previous question, what can you conclude from the test? Assume a significance level of 0.05.

Based on your p-value from the previous question, what can you conclude from the test? Assume a significance level of 0.05.

The p-value is larger than 0.05, so the null hypothesis cannot be rejected and there is not enough evidence to conclude the median weights differ.

The p-value is larger than 0.05, so the null hypothesis cannot be rejected and there is evidence to conclude the median weights differ.

The p-value is smaller than 0.05, so the null hypothesis is rejected and there is evidence to conclude the median weights differ.
