This week you have explored three different approaches to t tests This week you have explored three different approaches to t tests. By this point, you know that each test has assumptions about the data and the type of research questions it can answer. For this assignment, you will be provided with three scenarios. As you read the scenarios, be sure and think about aligning the appropriate t test with the question. Consider whether the data are independent samples and if two samples are being compared. To prepare for this assignment: Review the learning resources and the media programs related to t tests. For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Research Design and Statistical Design and the Skill Builder: Hypothesis Testing for Independent Samples t-test, which can be found by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane. Also, review the t test scenarios in this week’s learning resources and consider the three different approaches of t tests: independent sample t test, paired sample t test, and one-sample t test. Based on each of the three research scenarios provided, open the High School Longitudinal Study dataset or the Afrobarometer dataset from this week’s learning resources using SPSS software, then choose and run the appropriate t test. Once you perform your t test analyses, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document. For this assignment: Write a 2 to 3-paragraph analysis of your t test results for each research scenario and include the SPSS syntax and output. If using the Afrobarometer dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If using the HS Longitudinal Study dataset, report the mean of X1Par1Edu. You must evaluate if the t test assumptions are met, justify your selection of the type of t test, and report the effect size. Based on your results, provide an explanation of the implications of social change. Use proper APA format, citations, and references for your analysis, research questions, and output.
Paper For Above instruction The assignment requires conducting and analyzing three different t-test scenarios using SPSS software, aligning each with the appropriate type of t-test—independent, paired, or one-sample—based on the research questions and data structure. The analysis begins with a thorough review of assumptions such as normality, independence, and homogeneity of variance, which are critical for valid results. For each scenario, selecting the correct t-test ensures the validity of the conclusions drawn about the population
