Typically, the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test is used when the data in one or both samples are not normally distributed. Keep in mind, however, that the two-sample t-test is pretty robust to violations of normality and so a non-parametric test is only needed when the normality assumption is stron...
1 The Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test by Chris Wild, University of Auckland The Wilcoxon rank-sum test is a nonparametric alternative to the twosample t-test which is based solely on the order in which the observations from the two samples fall. We will use the following as a running example. ...

In order to illustrate the concepts involved, we will use a very small data set, as shown in the next example. Example Example 1: Repeat Example 1 ofWilcoxon Rank Sum Testwith the data shown in Figure 1 for a two-tailed test with α = .10. ...
I think the sum of ranks serves as a test statistic: it's not interpretable and we don't find it interesting but we need it in order to compute p. Compare this to t-values when testing for a Pearson correlation. The mean rank is basically a descriptive statistic that we can interpret...

There are several names for rank randomization tests for differences in central tendency. The two most common are the Mann-Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test.Consider the data shown in Table 1 that were used as an example in the section on randomization tests. ...
