Sec. 7.2, comparing 2 means.
Handout, Two-sample t procedures ...two independent
samples (how to do it on SPSS)
The homework involving this is up, Day
39
You can go ahead and get the SPSS output you
need, now...
How to do it will be covered Wednesday
~~~~~~~~~~
HW: If you missed class, SPSS handouts will be outside
my door.
Reread 7.1. Review Sec. 3: pp 195-6 for Matched pairs, pp. 186-191
for two-sample t. (Three or more treatments require analysis
of variance, Ch. 10. Not in this course.)
Read 7.2. This HW only covers thru p. 341.
Read ahead. You will be responsible for the material through p. 402;
should read and understand the rest in order to be able to deal with the
output from SPSS, and future encounters.
You don't need to know the
formula for d.f. on p. 403, only that SPSS uses it to produce the "equal
variances not assumed" result. You would never try to calculate it
by hand--too much possibility for a mistake..
You don't need to know the "pooled two-sample t-procedure",
only that it goes with the "equal variances" line in the SPSS results--we
prefer to use the "equal variances not assumed" results in all cases.
You should know that you will still meet the "pooled" procedure as the
"standard" in older books, or areas where the newer method has not
filtered down yet.
| Hand-in (All SPSS except
as noted)
--Go through Example 7.4, p. 99, in the SPSS manual ( Example 7.3 in BPS, p.375). Produce (& Hand IN) the two outputs I put on the handout under Matched Pairs: Testing using the "Paired Samples T-Test" procedure on the original variables, and Testing using the "One sample T-Test." Compare with the text analysis. p. 374 7.7 DDT do this again on SPSS.
Compare your results with those you got by hand.
p.378, 7.9 &10 (right/left threads) Also, make a variable for the difference and produce a stemplot to check for outliers. * There is an annoyance here--we expect the right thread times to be smaller than the left thread times, so it might be easier to think about (left -right) and anticipate a positive average. But unless we exchange the order of the variables in the SPSS file, we have to do (right - left) if we do a "paired-sample test", and anticipate a negative average. Be clear what you do. p. 382, 7.11 caffeine dependence Again, watch out for the
direction of your differences and what they mean.
