[R] Fwd: high p values

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Javed,
Easy.

A<-c(2000,2100,2300,2400,6900,7000,7040,7050,7060)
median(A)
[1] 6900
B<-c(3300,3350,3400,3450,3500,7000,7100,7200,7300)
median(B)
[1] 3500
wilcox.test(A,B,paired=FALSE)

       Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction

data:  A and B
W = 26.5, p-value = 0.233
alternative hypothesis: true location shift is not equal to 0

Jim
