Learning Hierarchy Analysis of the Mann-Whitney U-Test Technique Given data from two groups in which all values are unique, a table of critical values for U, and paper and pencil, high school freshman will determine if the Mann-Whitney Technique is appropriate to use and if so, determine statistical significance from a OneTailed Test at the α = .05 level using the Mann-Whitney U-Test.

Calculate statistical significance when given a previously unseen ordinal data set from a One-Tailed Test at the α = .05 level using the Mann-Whitney U-Test Technique.

Calculate and balance algebraic equations that are joined by inequality symbols.

Employ the process of joining integers based on their values with inequality symbols.

Determine a sum of values when given a list of numbers.

Determine the total amount of numbers within multiple parameters of a data set.

Recall the addition process.

Recall the process of counting to determine a total amount.

Recall the process of ordering whole numbers from least to greatest.

Recall the symbol conventions for inequalities.

Illustrate the meaning of statistical significance when given a table of critical values for U and previously unseen U and U’ limits.

Interpret the level of measurement from a previously unseen data set as nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio.

Recognize conventions for levels of significance α = .025, .05, .01, etc

Locate values in a data table.

Recognize previously unseen examples of categorical, ordinal, interval, and ratio data.

Recall the definition of a statistic.

Recall the conventions of a data table.

Recall the definitions of categorical, ordinal, interval, and ratio data.
