Appendix 4. Wilcoxon Rank Sum Distribution

The upper tail of the distribution of the one-sided Wilcoxon Rank Sum statistic is shown. For values in the lower tail, enter the table with the value W = n(m+n+1) - Wx. For a two-sided test, simply double the P-value in the table.

n = 3

Wm = 3m = 4m = 5m = 6m = 7m = 8
