my output is as follows:
 wilcox.test(main_samp$SCORE~main_samp$GENDER, conf.int = TRUE)

        Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction

data:  main_samp$SCORE by main_samp$GENDER
W = 2780.5, p-value = 0.04829
alternative hypothesis: true location shift is not equal to 0 
95 percent confidence interval:
 -6.800005e+01 -2.056837e-05 
sample estimates:
difference in location 
             -33.00003 
 result of W seems suspicious since i expect the result to be between 0 and 1. 

and the confidence intervals are also -ves  what could be the challenge?
Thanks Taby
