Abstract: A partition statistic ` crank' gives combinatorial interpretations for Ramanujan's famous partition congruences. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula, Ramanujan type congruences, and q-series identities that the number of partitions with even crank Me(n) minus the number of partitions with odd crank Mo(n) satisfies. For example, we show that Me(5n+4)Mo(5n+4)equiv0pmod5. We also determine the exact values of Me(n)Mo(n) in case of partitions into distinct parts, which are at most two and zero for infinitely many n.
