For this assignment, you will use the dataset provided to conduct an independent samples t-test to determine if average salt water concentrations (expressed as grams of salt per kilogram of water, or g/kg) are significantly different between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The dataset provided includes daily salt water concentrations for each ocean over a one month (31 day) period. Use this data to conduct an independent samples t-test (two-samples t-test). Then copy and paste the SPSS output tables for the independent samples t-test to a Word document, and develop a summary in which you address the following:

• Indicate whether or not Levene's test was significant and explain how you know
• Identify which t-test statistic you will use, based on Levene's test (equal variances assumed, or equal variances not assumed)
• Based on this t-test statistic and its p-value, indicate whether or not there is a significant difference between the salt water concentrations in the two locations, and explain how you know
