I want to compare time spent in shopping between two group people. One group has 1426 cases, whereas the other group only has 96 cases. Which statistical method should I use, t-test or Mann-Whitney test?

@black3173,
You can use a t-test for time data with the assumption of normal distribution.

@fresco,
Thanks for the reply. But with such a big difference in the sample size between these two groups (1426 vs. 96), is it better to use a Mann-Whitney test?

@black3173,
According to the literature, sample size is not relevant.
