5. Conduct an Independent Samples T Test (a test of mean differences) using EDUC as the dependent variable (test variable) and SEX as the grouping variable. Define groups so that Group 1 = 1 and Group 2 = 2 (1 = males 2 = females). Set the alpha level at .01.

1. State the null and research hypotheses:

H₀:

H₁:

1. What is the alpha level for the t-test?

1. Obtained t-value:

1. Significance level for the t-test:

1. Is the F statistic for Levene's test significant?

1. If the significance level of the obtained t statistic is equal to or less than ____ (alpha level), we reject the null hypothesis.

1. If the significance level of the obtained t statistic is greater than ____ (alpha level), we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

1. Decision: Since the significance level of the obtained t statistic is _____ and it is __________(greater or less) than ____ (alpha level), we ________(reject or fail to reject) the null hypothesis.

1. Interpretation/conclusion (cite your statistics in your interpretation):
