Q-1) Answer the following questions. Data File is saved as studentdata.xls

a. Test the hypothesis that the expected salary of students is not normally distributed.
Ho: The expected salary of the students is normally distributed
Ha: the expected salary of the students is not normally distributed
Level of significance α=0.05

a. Lilliefors Significance Correction

P-value >Level of significance

0.153 > 0.05 Do not reject null hypothesis
At the 5% significance level data do not provide evidence to conclude that the expected
salary of the students is not normally distributed.

b. Test the hypothesis that the mean expected salary of students in thousands of dollars is
significantly different from $85.
Note:
i) Always remember the by default level of significance in SPSS is set at 5%.
ii) SPSS always performs a two tailed test.

is smaller than $85.

Step 1. To observe the normality of both independent data sets.
Question: At the 5% significance level can we conclude that expected salary of male and
female students is normally distributed.

 At the 5% significance level data do not provide evidence to conclude that
variances of expected salary for male and female are different.
Note: for the part above, equality of variance is confirmed so we must
proceed with Pooled t test (that assumes equal variances)

e. Based on your results from above part (d) , given the choice between using a pooled t test
or non- pooled t test, which procedure would you choose to test the hypothesis that a
difference exists in the mean expected salary of male and female students. Interpret your
results.
Ho: μ1=µ2
Ha: μ1≠µ2
P-value > level of significance
0.228 > 0.05
At the 5% significance level data do not provide evidence to conclude that
mean expected salary of the male and female students are different.

e. Test the hypothesis that the degree of optimism about future economic conditions is
associated with current employment status.

f. Test the hypothesis that means monthly spending on food of male students differ from female
students?

g. Constructs contingency table, using Class designation as the row variable and Major area of
study as the column variable. At the 5% level of significance, is there evidence of a significant
association between Class designation and Major area of study?
