1. Using the data file design.sav to compare the fear of statistics scores for males
and females. The variables you will need are (fost2) and (sex).
2. Using the research.sav data file to compare the total self-esteem scores across
the three different age groups (18-29yrs, 30-44yrs, 45+yrs). The variables you
will need are (tslfest) and (agegp3).
3. Using the data file design.sav to assess whether there was a change in
students’ depression scores from time1 to time2. The variables you will need
are (depress1) and (depress2).
4. Using the practical.sav data to investigate whether internal stress differs
significantly before training and after 2 months of training. The variables you
will need are (inter_1) and (inter_2).
5. Using the research.sav data to compare the total perceived stress (tpstress) for
the 3 different age groups (18-29yrs, 30-44yrs, 45+yrs). The variables you will
need are (agegp3) and (tpstress).

1. Using the data file design.sav to compare the fear of statistics scores for males and
females. The variables you will need are (fost2) and (sex).
Answer:
Null Hypothesis (Ho): there is no difference in the fear of statistics scores
between males and females.
Alternative Hypothesis u(H1): there is a difference in the fear of statistics
scores between males and females.
Mann – Whitney U – Test
Assumption 1: the dependent variable should be measured as the continues
level.
Assumption 2: the independent variable that is categorical (2 independent
group).
Assumption 3: independent of observations (there is no relationship between
the observations of the 2 groups.
Assumption 4: the dependent continuous variable doesn’t assume a normality
distribution and there is a significant outlier.

U = 86
Mann – Whitney U – Test was used to investigate the difference in the fear of
statistics scores between males and females. From this data it can concluded the fear
of statistics scores (mean rank = 17.27) in male is 259 higher than female which is
206. Since the p- Value = 0.269 is greater than the chosen significant level a = 0.05
we accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternative hypothesis.
We conclude that, there was no statistically difference in the level of the fear of
statistics scores between the 2 groups males and females. (U = 86, p- Value = 0.269
> 0.05)
2. Using the research.sav data file to compare the total self-esteem scores across the
three different age groups (18-29yrs, 30-44yrs, 45+yrs). The variables you will need
are (tslfest) and (agegp3).
Answer:
Null Hypothesis (Ho): there is no difference in the total self-esteem scores
across the three different age groups (18-29yrs, 30-44yrs, 45+yrs).
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): there is a difference in the total self-esteem
scores across the three different age groups (18-29yrs, 30-44yrs, 45+yrs).
Kruskal – Wallis H – Test
Assumption 1: the dependent variable that is continues level (interval or
ratio).
Assumption 2: the independent variable that is categorical (nominal or ordinal
more than 2 independent groups).
Assumption 3: independent of observations (there is no relationship between
the observations of the groups.
Assumption 4: the distribution of dependent variable doesn’t assume a
normality distribution and there is a significant outlier.

3. Using the data file design.sav to assess whether there was a change in students’
depression scores from time1 to time2. The variables you will need are (depress1)
and (depress2).
Answer:
Null Hypothesis (Ho): there is no a change in students’ depression scores from
time1 to time2
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): there is a a change in students’ depression scores
from time1 to time2.
Paired Sample T – Test
Assumption 1: the dependent variable that is continues scale (interval or
ratio).
Assumption 2: the independent variable that, consist of 2 categorical related
groups.
Assumption 4: there should no is a significant outlier.

p- Value = 0.000
T = 4.247
Paired sample T test was run to compare the difference in the change in students’
depression scores from time1 to time2. On average time1 scored 43.07 higher than
time2 scored 40.73. Since the p- Value = 0.000 is less than the chosen significant
level a = 0.05 we accept the reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative
hypothesis. We conclude that, there was a statistically difference a change in
students’ depression scores from time1 to time2. (t = 4.247, p- Value = 0.000 <
0.05)

4. Using the practical.sav data to investigate whether internal stress differs significantly
before training and after 2 months of training. The variables you will need are
(inter_1) and (inter_2).
Answer:
Null Hypothesis (Ho): there is no a change in internal stress differs
significantly before training and after 2 months of training.
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): there is a internal stress differs significantly
before training and after 2 months of training.

p- Value > 0.05
p- Value = .138

Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was run to compare the difference in the internal
stress differs significantly before training and after 2 months of training. The
mean rank in the internal stress before training is 87.33 higher than mean in the
internal stress after training which is 62.34. Since the p- Value = .138 is more
than the chosen significant level p = 0.05 we accept the null hypothesis and reject
the alternative hypothesis. We conclude that, there was no statistically difference
a change the internal stress differs significantly before training and after 2 months
of training (z = 1.485 , p- Value = .138 > 0.05)

5. Using the research.sav data to compare the total perceived stress (tpstress) for the 3
different age groups (18-29yrs, 30-44yrs, 45+yrs). The variables you will need are
(agegp3) and (tpstress).
Answer:
Null Hypothesis (Ho): there is no a change in perceived stress (tpstress) for the
3 different age groups (18-29yrs, 30-44yrs, 45+yrs).
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): there is a a change in perceived stress (tpstress)
for the 3 different age groups (18-29yrs, 30-44yrs, 45+yrs).

One Way ANOVA to compare the total perceived stress (tpstress) for the 3
