Question

CAN SOMEONE please use SPSS and do STEP by STEP???

An investigator predicts that individuals that fit the Type A Behavior Pattern (highly competitive and time conscious) will have higher scores on a questionnaire measure of need for achievement than individuals that fit the Type B Behavior pattern (absence of Type qualities). The investigator collects need for achievement scores from 10 Type A subjects and 10 Type B subjects. Higher scores reflect greater levels of need for achievement.

1.Write the null and alternative hypotheses for testing this prediction.

2.Using SPSS perform an independent sample t-test to test the null hypothesis stated above and attach the output herewith.

3.Please provide a sentence for a result that states the conclusion the investigator is entitled to draw.

You can type this sentence on the SPSS output. Note : Please copy-paste your SPSS output on a word doc and attach as your answer. Your typed responses in a colored font will help me find your responses faster. Please do not directly attach the spss document. Attach word doc only.

12-- 8

10-- 10

SPSS Output:

t-Test: Two-Sample Assuming Equal Variances
	Type A	Type B
Mean	11.2	7.2
Variance	7.288889	4.177778
Observations	10	10
Pooled Variance	5.733333
Hypothesized Mean Difference	0
df	18
t Stat	3.735437
P(T<=t) one-tail	0.000757
t Critical one-tail	1.734064
P(T<=t) two-tail	0.001514
t Critical two-tail	2.100922

conclusion:

Since the p-value is less than 0.05, we reject H0

So we have enough evidence to support the claim that individuals that fit the Type A Behavior Pattern (highly competitive and time conscious) will have higher scores on a questionnaire measure of need for achievement than individuals that fit the Type B Behavior pattern (absence of Type qualities).
