This week you have explored three different approaches to t tests. By this point, you know that each test has assumptions about the data and type of research questions it can answer. For this Assignment, you will be provided with three scenarios. As you read the scenarios, be sure and think about aligning the appropriate t test with the question. Consider whether the data are independent samples and if two samples are being compared.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the Learning Resources and the media programs related to t tests.
• Also, review the t test scenarios (Attached) found in this week’s Learning Resources and consider the three different approaches of t tests:
  • Independent sample t test
  • Paired sample t test
  • One sample t test
• Based on each of the three research scenarios provided, open the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (attached) from this week’s Learning Resources using SPSS software, then choose and run the appropriate t test.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2 to 3-paragraph analysis of your t test results for each research scenario and include the SPSS syntax and output.  Do not forget to evaluate if the t test assumptions are met, justify the selection of type of t test, and report the effect size. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.

Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research questions, and output.
