6. A triathlon race organiser wishes to know whether competitors who are members of a triathlon club race more frequently than competitors who are not members of a triathlon club. Six competitors from a triathlon club and six competitors who are not members of a triathlon club are selected at random. The table below shows the number of triathlon races they each entered last year.

1. Use a Mann-Whitney U test at a significance level as close to \(5 \%\) as possible to carry out the race organiser's investigation.
2. Briefly explain why a Wilcoxon signed-rank test is not appropriate in this case.
