I have a sample of 48. According to the central limit theorem, may I may consider means of every continuous variantsvariable in my sample havingto have a normal distribution. However, one variant havevariable has a mean of 14 +/- 8 and when I draw a normal quantile plot, it seems thatto not be a normal distribution. If I use a t-test to compare this variantvariable between 2 groups, then the p - value is < 0.05 and the diffenrence is significant. But when I use a Wilcoxon test I have the result, p = 0,.07 > 0,05 and I cannot conclude thea significant difference between 2 groups. Which

Which test must I have to use in this situation, t-test or Wilcoxon test?

Which test to choose when the results from t-test and Wilcoxon test are different?
