- I can't believe it! I'm too old for this. I had a student gather a
- bit of data thinking that when the time came I would just pick up
- Siegel or some other hoary text and look up the proper significance
- test. Now I can't find any test that addresses the problem.
-
- A group of 5 men ranks four things; and a group of five women do also:
- Thing1 Thing2 Thing3 Thing4
- Man 1 : 4 2 1 3
- Man 2 : 4 3 2 1
- .
- .
- .
- Woman 1 : 3 2 4 1
- Woman 2 : 3 4 1 2
- .
- .
- etc.
-
- Now, I'm not obsessive about being fooled by chance, but I would
- like to know whether the disparity in the rankings between the men and women
- is of suffucient size that it is unlikely to have arisen solely from the
- chance selection of these two samples from populations in which men and
- women rank the four things similarly (or identically or something).
-
- Can anyone help?
