THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION
If Z has a normal distribution with mean 0 and
variance 1, then, for each value of z, the table gives
the value of Φ(z), where
Φ(z) = P(Z ⩽ z).
For negative values of z, use Φ(–z) = 1 – Φ(z).

The sample has size n.
P is the sum of the ranks corresponding to the positive differences.
Q is the sum of the ranks corresponding to the negative differences.
T is the smaller of P and Q.
For each value of n the table gives the largest value of T which will lead to rejection of the null hypothesis at

The two samples have sizes m and n, where m ⩽ n.
Rm is the sum of the ranks of the items in the sample of size m.
W is the smaller of Rm and m(n + m + 1) – Rm.
For each pair of values of m and n, the table gives the largest value of W which will lead to rejection of the
