Assignment: TestingHypotheses for Means
This week you haveexplored three different approaches to t tests.By this point, you know that each test has assumptions about the data and typeof research questions it can answer. For this Assignment, you will be providedwith three scenarios. As you read the scenarios, be sure and think aboutaligning the appropriate t testwith the question. Consider whether the data are independent samples and if twosamples are being compared.
To prepare for this Assignment:
        Review the Learning Resources and the media programs relatedto t tests.
        For additional support, review the Skill Builder: ResearchDesign and Statistical Design and the Skill Builder:Hypothesis Testing for Independent Samples t-test, which you can find bynavigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate theSkill Builder link in the left navigation pane.
        Also, review the t test scenarios found in thisweeks Learning Resources and consider the three different approaches of t tests:
o   Independent sample t test
o   Paired sample t test
o   One sample t test
        Based on each of the three research scenarios provided, open theHigh School Longitudinal Study dataset or the Afrobarometer dataset from thisweeks Learning Resources using SPSS software, then choose and run theappropriate t test.
        Once you perform your t test analyses, reviewChapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your outputinto your Word document.
 
For this Assignment:
Write a 3-paragraphanalysis of your t test results for each research scenario and include the SPSSsyntax and output.  If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report themean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the meanof X1SES. Do not forget to evaluate if the t test assumptions are met,justify the selection of type of t test, and report the effect size. Based onyour results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social changemight be.
Use proper APAformat, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research questions, andoutput.
