Demonstrate your ability to use the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS)

software to perform statistical analysis of a data set.

1. Generate a boxplot for group A and group B to check for data outliers and remove

any outliers from your subsequent analysis, if present.

2. Create frequency histogram for group A and group B to check the distribution of

the data and decide which parametric or non-parametric test is appropriate to

compare the two groups.

3. Use the appropriate normality test to determine the distribution of groups A and B,

and use the correct inferential statistical test to compare the two groups. Decide if

there is a significant difference in the measure of central tendency for the two

groups.

Write the abstract to report the findings of Part 1. This should include:

1. Aim: one or two sentences describing the purpose of the research study; a short

background to the study is included with each data set.

2. Methods: describe which statistical methods were applied in SPSS

3. Results: report the key summary statistics and P value using conventions required for

formal reporting of statistical results

4. Conclusion: briefly describe the significance of your results
