James07 · 31 Dec 2006 at 14:23

Does anyone here know how to do this?

Could you please explain it to me, thanks.

more info needed. what exactly do you mean :confused:

Vonhelmet · 31 Dec 2006 at 14:26

That's quite a broad question you're asking... Care to be a bit more specific?

Jokester · 31 Dec 2006 at 14:26

Statistics is a branch of mathematics in itself.

Again... more detail...

Is this, by any chance, homework that is due in on Tuesday?

James07 · 31 Dec 2006 at 14:33

Its A2 level coursework, she needs to know how it works, you know...

Ok she has just said this to me.

'does neone know how to the do the statistical calculation for Mann Whitney U?'

Vonhelmet · 31 Dec 2006 at 14:35

Right... so you're asking us how to do your girlfriend's coursework...

Wikipedia.

I don't think anyone is likely to be arsed to explain it any better than that.

Hah i aint doing it, stuff that, shes just getting worries because she cant do it... I offered to help somehow and she said to find out how to perform it...

I do sometimes wonder how it is that so many people either:

1). Still haven't heard of Google, or
2). Somehow manage to get redirected here when trying to use Google.

Tell her to ask a teacher, it's what they exist for.
