SPSS Exercises   Do blacks and whites differ significantly in occupational prestige?Run a difference of means test (analyze-compare means-independent-samples T test, with PRESTG80 as the test variable and RACE groups 1 and 2 as the groups) to test the null hypothesis that race is unrelated to occupational prestige.  Report the sample means and standard deviations for each group, and the appropriate test statistic for the null hypothesis.  Be sure to say whether you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.  Then, report and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the black-white difference in occupational prestige.   Do men and women differ significantly in church attendance?Run a difference of means test (analyze-compare means-independent-samples T test, with ATTEND as the test variable and SEX groups 1 and 2 as the groups) to test the null hypothesis that sex is unrelated to the frequency of church attendance.  Report the sample means and standard deviations for each group, and the appropriate test statistic for the null hypothesis.  Then, report and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the male-female difference in the frequency of church attendance.   Do Protestants and Catholics differ in their fertility?Run a difference of means test (analyze-compare means-independent-samples T test, with CHILDS as the test variable and RELIG groups 1 and 2 as the groups) to test the null hypothesis that religion is unrelated to the number of children born.  Report the sample means and standard deviations for each group, and the appropriate test statistic for the null hypothesis.  Then, report and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the Protestant-Catholic difference in the number of children born.
