Mann-Whitney U Test
This is a nonparametric test used with ordinal or continous variables to compare differences between two independent groups that have no distributional assumption. Assumptions

Conducting Mann-Whitney in SPSS
 * random sample
 * two groups are independent of each other
 * level of measurements is at least ordinal


 * 1) Analyze
 * 2) Nonparametric Tests
 * 3) Legacy Dialogs
 * 4) Independent Samples
 * 5) Choose Test Variables and Grouping Variable
 * 6) Check Mann-Whitney U under Test Types
 * 7) Define Groups
 * 8) Continue & OK

"Helpful Tutorial with APA example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRXgaBlTLxE&t=7s"SPSS will produce three output tables


 * Descriptive Statistics (not useful..ignore it)
 * Ranks Table (you can get the mean rank and sum from this)
 * Test Statistics Table (you get the significate values here)

Assignment
I would like to see if age and level of experience as an RN are factors in experiencing burnout by conducting a Mann-Whitney U test in SPSS.

Null hypothesis:  There are no differences between the two groups.

Alternative hypothesis:  There are significant differences between the two groups.
