The third table shows test Statistics. We used Mann-Whitney U test statistics (53.000) and Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
If p > 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
If p < 0.05, we must reject the null hypothesis.
Since in our example, p = 0.173 > 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no difference in the Math test score between males and females.
