[R] Fwd: high p values

[Patrick (Malone Quantitative)]

We've had this conversation.

A) This is off-topic for R-Help. Your question is about the statistical test, not about the R coding.

B) A difference in sample statistics, whether or not it "looks" large, is not sufficient for statistical significance.

    Hi
    
    This is my function:
    
    wilcox.test(A,B, data = data, paired = FALSE)
    
    It gives me high p value, though the median of A column is 6900 and B
    column is 3500.
    
    Why it gives p value high if there is a difference in the median?
