Sammanfattning	The Bayesian Mann-Whitney U test is a nonparametric Bayesian procedure for comparing two independent groups when data are ordinal or non-normal continuous. Instead of a binary reject/fail-to-reject decision, it quantifies the relative evidence for the null and alternative hypotheses through a Bayes factor, allowing researchers to conclude in favour of either hypothesis or express uncertainty.	The independent samples t-test is a parametric hypothesis test that determines whether the means of two independent, unrelated groups differ significantly on a continuous outcome variable. Derived from Gosset's 1908 t-distribution, it is one of the most widely used inferential tests in social, behavioral, biomedical, and experimental sciences.
