Overview
Single Sample T - Test in SPSS Due Apr 30 by 11:59pm Points 40 Submitting a file upload Available until Apr 30 at 11:59pm You will analyze two datasets that measure how many minutes per day students study. Both datasets (see attachment) test the same hypothesis. Research Question: Do students at this university study more than 60 minutes per day on average? You will run a single‑sample t‑test on each dataset in SPSS and compare the results. Part 1 — Run the Analyses in SPSS Part 2 — Dataset 1 Questions Answer the following based on your SPSS output: What is the sample mean? What is the standard deviation? What is the t‑value and degrees of freedom? What is the p‑value (one‑tailed)? Is the result significant based on the research question? Write an APA‑style result. In your own words, does this dataset provide strong, weak, or no evidence that students study more than 60 minutes/day? Part 3 — Dataset 2 Questions What is the sample mean? What is the standard deviation? What is the t‑value and degrees of freedom? What is the p‑value (one‑tailed)? Is the result significant? Write an APA‑style result. Why is this dataset’s result much stronger than Dataset 1? Part 4 — Compare the Two Datasets Write 3–5 sentences responding to the questions below: Which dataset provides stronger evidence that students study more than 60 minutes/day? How did variability (SD) affect the t‑values? Why can two datasets with the same sample size and similar means produce very different significance levels? Which dataset would you trust more if you were making a decision about student study habits?
