Instructions: Lesson 24 Exercise File 1 is located at the end of the chapter under the heading Exercises in your Green and Salkind textbook. Complete the exercise and then complete the worksheet below by filling in the blanks and answering the questions.

 

H₀1: There is no significant difference in the amount of time it takes to eat a Big Mac meal between overweigh and normal weight individuals.

 

Assumptions

 

Outliers: Create a Box and Whisker plot for each group. Hint: Graph > Legacy > Boxplot > Simple. Insert the Box and Whisker plot below: Note: Look for extreme outliers.

 

Fill in the blanks:

Groups	Outliers (Item #)	Are there any outliers?
Overweight
Normal

 

 

 

<Note: Remove any outliers from the dataset before continuing.>

 

 

Assumption of Normality: Run a normality test for each group. Hint: Begin by going to Analyze > Descriptive > Explore. See SPSS lesson 40, p. 327. Insert the Tests of Normality table below:

 

Fill in the blanks:

Should you use a Shapiro-Wilks or Kolmogorov-Smirnov test? Why?

 

Groups	Significance	Is the assumption of normality met?
Overweight
Normal

 

Assumption of Equal Variance: Insert Levene’s Test of Equality of Error Variances^a table(s) below:

 

 

Fill in the blanks:

Significance	Is the assumption of equal variance met?

Results

Insert t-test for equality of Means table(s) below:

 

Fill in the blanks:

Equal variances assumed	Value
d.f.
t– statistic
t- critical (Hint: See Appendix B in Warner)
p– value
Eta Squared (Hint: See formula)

 

Is the t-statistic greater than t-critical?

Hint: Use the absolute value.

 

Is the p-value less than .05?

 

Should you reject or fail to reject the null?

 

Is the effect size small, medium, or large? Hint: See Table 5.2 in Warner, p. 208.
