Use a rank-sum test with a5% level of significance to test the claim that there is no difference between the training sessions distributions. If the value of the sample test statistic R, the rank-sum, is 150, calculate the P-value. Round your answer to four decimal places.
A data processing company has a training program for new salespeople. After completing the training program, each trainee is ranked by his or her instructor. After a year of sales, the same class of trainees is again ranked by a company supervisor according to net value of the contracts they have acquired for the company. The results for a random sample of 11 salespeople trained in the last year follow, where x is rank in training class and y is rank in sales after 1 year. Lower ranks mean higher standing in class and higher net sales.
