(50 Females and 50 males)

Statistics

• Compute and present the t statistic for a test of mean differences between the two groups on the attitudinal variable (5 pts) Compute an independent samples T Test An independent samples t test is used to compare means from two groups of different people. Use the t test that you learned in Chapter 14 to test whether the mean score on your attitudinal variable is significantly different for your two groups. We will use an estimate for the critical t statistic of 2.00. If the computed t is less than 2.00, you should conclude that the group differences are not significant. If the computed t is greater than 2.00, you should conclude that the group differences are significant.
