    Independent Sample T Test

    Uploaded by

    Surbhî Gupta
    This document outlines the steps to conduct an independent t-test to compare the monthly incomes of males and females. It defines the independent and dependent variables, states the null and alternative hypotheses, identifies the independent t-test as the appropriate statistical test, sets the significance level at 5%, establishes the decision rule to accept H1 if p<=0.05 or accept H0 otherwise, and notes that calculations will be performed and reported using SPSS. The findings were that the p-value was 0.203, which is greater than 0.05, so the null hypothesis of no significant difference in monthly incomes between males and females was accepted.

    Step 1- defining the variables

    IV- gender (nominal)

    DV- monthly income (ratio scale)

    Step2 – setting null and alt hypothesis

    H0- there is no significant difference between the average monthly income of male and females

    H1- there is significant difference between the average monthly income of male and females

    Step 3- determining the appropriate statistical test

    Since we’re comparing on the basis of two mean values

    X1 – avg monthly income of males

    X2- avg monthly income of females

    Therefore, independent sample t test is used

    Step 4- we have assumed the level of significance to be 5%

    α = 0.05,

    therefore, confidence level becomes 95%

    step 5- set the decision rule p value

    if p <= 0.05, accept H1

    otherwise accept H0

    step 6- calculations and reports generated through SPSS

    Group Statistics

    Step 7- conclusive findings

    From the 1st table we find that,

    N1=6

    N2=4

    X1>X2 = 3.00>2.00

    SD1<SD2 = 1.095<1.155

    Therefore we calculate coeff of variation = (SD/Mean)*100

    CV1 = 0.365

    CV2 = 0.577

    Since CV1<CV2, males have more monthly income than that of females

    From 2nd table

    P value is 0.203 >0.05, therefore , null hypothesis is accepted

    We conclude that there is no significant difference between the avg monthly income of males and
    females
