Summary:
The rank statistic $E$, based on the minimum number of exceeding observations in two samples, gives rise to a quick and easy $E$-test, which is suitable for the two-sample location problem. The paper contains tables of the one-sided significance levels $P\left\{E\geq k\right\}$ for $2\leq k\leq 6$ for sizes $m,n$ of the two samples satisfying $3\leq m\leq n\leq 25$.
