Statistical Treatment of Data

This study utilizes Mann Whitney U test under Nonparametric Statistics as a

statistical treatment to interpret the gathered data effectively. The Mann – Whitney U test
is the true nonparametric counterpart of the t-test and provides the most accurate
estimates of significance, especially when sample sizes are small or when the data do not
match a normal distribution (Smalheiser, 2017). The use of nonparametric statistics is
deemed appropriate for this study since the data does not required to fit a normal
distribution. It uses information that is often normal, which means that it is not based on
numbers, but rather on a ranking or order of sorts. The respondents for this comparative
analysis are two (2) managers and sixty (60) employees on the selected fast food chains.
