For this homework assignment, please attach all of your output from SPSS to the end of the document. You can copy and paste the important tables on the last page. All of the SPSS problems for this week use the GSS2016. Write all hypotheses in both sentence (i.e. "there is no difference...") and statistical notation (i.e. "₁ =₂") format.

8. For problem 5, first dummy code the variable DEGREE so that 1= bachelor's degree or higher, and 0 = below a bachelor's degree.(Old Values 0-2 = New Value 0; Old Value 3-4 = New Value =1). Name this new variable Deg_Dum.

Then, conduct an Independent Samples T Test to investigate whether individuals with a bachelor's degree or higher have higher incomes than those without a bachelor's degree. Use the Independent Samples T Test command with CONINC as the dependent variable (test variable) and Deg Dum as the grouping variable. Define groups so that Group 1 = 1 and Group 2 = 0 (0 = below a bachelor's degree; 1 = bachelor's degree or higher). 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):
