A psychology instructor at a large university teaches statistics. There are 22 students in the class, and he has broken them into two groups. Each group has a different graduate assistant who is responsible for running separate breakout lecture and lab sections of the course. One graduate assistant (GA) has lots of experience teaching, while the other has more limited experience. The instructor wants to check for comparable learning across the two GAs, hoping students receive similar experiences (i.e., to find no difference). The data below are the scores (out of 100) of the students on the first midterm. Use it to test whether there is a difference between the groups. Group 1 (less experienced GA) Group 2 (more experienced GA) 60 70 65 85 69 72 58 83 57 81 59 69 52 65 72 75 70 79 65 71 75 80 Q: List the steps to obtaining all relevant statistical output in SPSS. List the steps to creating the appropriate graph in SPSS. Present the results using APA format. This includes a full write-up to include a complete statistical notation. The write-up also needs interpretation. If significant, state how. If it is not significant, what does that mean in layman’s terms?
