7.Using SPSS compute the appropriate test. Paste SPSS output here.
With alpha set at .05, write a conclusion of the findings.
Be sure to report the appropriate statistic in APA style.
H0: There is no significance difference between the means of
Video and No video
H1: There is significance difference between the means of Video and
No video
Let the los be alpha = 5%
The SPSS output be
P-value of test of equal variance is 0.320 > alpha 0.05 so we accept H0
thus variance of two populations are equal
P-value of test of means is 0.149 > alpha 0.05 so we accept H0
Thus the two groups means are equal i.e. there is no significance difference between the means of Video and No video
