Question

Seneca was interested in the distance that students commute to campus. They thought that students were traveling further to come to King campus than they had been in the past. In the past, the average distance that students commuted to King campus was 12 km. This year they surveyed 13 students asking them about the distance of their daily commute and the results were analyzed with SPSS. Interpret the SPSS output obtained. What conclusion can the researchers draw? Write a summary sentence of the results. (write both parts of step 5 of the hypothesis test)

One-Sample Statistics

	N	Mean	Std Deviation	Std. Error Mean
Score	13	15.6923	5.55855	1.54166

One-Sample Test

			Test Value= 12		95% of Confidence Interval of the Difference	95% of Confidence Interval of the Difference
	t	df	Sig. (2 tailed)	Mean Difference	Lower	Upper
Score	2.395	12	.034	3.69231	.3333	7.0513

Answer 1

1)Hypothesis:

H₀: =12

H₁ : 12

2) test statistic t = 2.395

3) p value = 0.034

4) result: reject null hypothesis because p value (0.034) is less than 0.05.

5) conclusion:

The p value (0.034) is less than 0.05 level of significance than is reject null hypothesis. It is conclude that the average distance that students commuted to King campus is not equal to 12.
