PBH 592 Excelsior College Mod 6 Hypothesis Testing Paper “The only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of prediction with experience.”

~Milton Friedman

INTRODUCTION

Continue with hypothesis testing using SPSS for one of the two research questions. One question uses a continuous response and categorical explanatory variable (two or three).

Be sure to watch the lectures and go over this written tutorial before beginning this assignment as the parameter, the nature of the hypotheses, the statistical test needed, etc. do change when the data type changes, so you will not be performing a correlation test for these two questions.

Independent t-test – SPSS (Example 1) (Links to an external site.)
One-way ANOVA and Post Hoc Test Using SPSS (Links to an external site.)
INSTRUCTIONS

The five steps are:

Define the parameter of interest (i.e. µ),
State the Null and Alternative hypotheses (i.e. (Null: µ1 = µ2) for independent samples t-test),
Determine the test statistic and p-value considering any necessary assumptions,
Decide whether to reject or not reject the null hypothesis,
Clearly state a conclusion in the context of the problem.

Your document should be approximately 1-2 pages in length. Clearly separate out each step of the testing process using headings, or numbering as modeled in the example provided. If you use references, use of current APA formatting is required. Any tables and graphs must be clearly labeled.
