Testing Hypotheses for Means
This week you explore three different approaches to t tests. By this point, you know that each test has assumptions about the data and type of research questions it can answer. For this assignment, you will be provided with three scenarios. As you read the scenarios, be sure and think about aligning the appropriate t test with the question. Consider whether the data are independent samples and if two samples are being compared.
To prepare for this Assignment:
- Review the learning resources related to t tests that are attached
- Also, review the t test scenarios found attached and consider the three different approaches of t tests: Independent Sample T Test, Paired Sample T Test, and One Sample T Test.
- Based on each of the three research scenarios provided, open the High School Longitudinal Study dataset or the Afrobarometer dataset attached using SPSS software, then choose and run the appropriate t test.
Paste your output into a Word document and then write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your t test results for each research scenario and include the SPSS syntax and output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.
Be sure to support your writing with a minimum of three scholarly articles.
Follow the attached guidelines for assistance when completing the assignment.
