CRAMERS V VALUE
<.20 Too weak to matter
.20 to .25 Moderate
Cramers V = if there was a statistically .25 to .30 Moderately Strong
significant relationship above, we .30 to .35 Strong
would read this value to see how .35 to .40 Very Strong
strong it was. See chart- Too Weak To .40 to .50 Worrisomely Strong
.50 to .99 Redundant
Matter. 1.00 Perfect Relationship
COMPARE MEANS: INDEPENDENT SAMPLE T TEST (1 nominal/ordinal variable and 1 scale variable)
Levene’s test ONLY tells you whether to read the ‘Equal variances assumed’ row or the Equal variances NOT assumed row. If ABOVE 0.05,
read the ABOVE (first) row. If BELOW 0.05, read the BELOW (second) row. In this case, it tells us to read the above row as the Levene’s Test
Significance is >0.05.
The significance that matters is the Two-Sided p of the applicable row to see if it is statistically significant. <0.05. It is significant!
We would then look at the top table again to see what the mean rating for each gender was to see the difference, now that we know it is
statistically significant. So, on a scale of 1 to 5 as this question was (as we know from Variable View in the dataset), Females rated their
likelihood at 3.3 out of 5, men rated it as 3.7 out of 5. So although men are more likely, and that is STATISICALLY significant, you decide if the
difference of 0.4 on a 5-point scale is big enough to be interesting for the client.
