Abstract: Tukey's Quick Test is a nonparametric hypothesis test to compare two independent samples for location. It is a nonparametric analog to the two independent sample t test. The test statistic, T, is the number of slipped data points above and below those overlapped in the two ordered data sets. When T is greater than or equal to 7 there is sufficient evidence (alpha = 0.05) to indicate that two samples have different locations. Other critical values are given and examples are presented. A variation on Tukey's Quick Test, the Tukey-Neave Test is discussed.

Key Words: hypothesis test, location, central tendency, two independent samples, nonparametric, slippage, Tukey-Neave, two sample t test, quick test
