Question:

Show that for the case of two samples, the Kruskal-Wallis test is equivalent to the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. This can be done by showing that for the case of two samples, the test statistic H equals the square of the test statistic z used in the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Also note that with 1 degree of freedom, the critical values of X2 correspond to the square of the critical z score.
