Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction data: x and y W = 51.5, p-value = 0.5966 alternative hypothesis: true location shift is not equal to 0 Warning message: In wilcox.test.default(x, y) : cannot compute exact p-value with ties
Since the p-value = 0.5966 is much higher than 0.05, the hypothesis that the two means are equal is accepted.
> y <- c(1233,4356,987,39999,1111,200000) > wilcox.test(x,y)
Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction data: x and y W = 0, p-value = 0.001364 alternative hypothesis: true location shift is not equal to 0 Warning message: In wilcox.test.default(x, y) : cannot compute exact p-value with ties
p-value = 0.001363 which is much lower than 0.05, rejects the hypothesis.
