Step 1
Mann-Whitney U-test:
Mann-Whitney U test is a non-parametric test, which is used to compare the two independent groups.
That is, we can compare whether the two populations are same or not if the population distribution unknown.
Step 2
In the given situation, the data is not normally distributed.
There are total of 500 patients visiting the dentist yearly and they are enrolled in either Insurance A or Insurance B.
Here, we can compare the distribution of patients for Insurance A and Insurance B.
That is, here the data is not normally distributed and the distributions of two independent samples are compared.
Hence, the suitable test is Mann-Whitney U test.
