hypotheses in both sentence (i.e. "there is no difference...") and statistical notation (i.e. "₁ = ₂") format

1.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 .05.

a. State the null and research hypotheses:

H₀:

H₁:

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

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

d.Obtained t-value:

e.Significance level for the t-test:

f. Decision rule:

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

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

g. 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.

h. Interpretation/conclusion:
