This tutorial shows how you can conduct paired t-test in SPSS. The following shows the specific steps with screenshots from SPSS. We are going to test whether students’ writing scores and reading scores are different. You can download the data here. Steps of Paired t-test in SPSS Step 1: Click “Paired Sample T-Test” Click “Analyze”, … Read more
This tutorial shows how you can conduct an independent t-test in SPSS. Note that, independent (sample) t-test is also called two sample t-test. It deals with situations where X1 and X2 are from two different groups of people or objects. For instance, in this tutorial, we are going to compare how female students differ from male students in writing scores. … Read more
