You are now ready to perform your own statistical analyses for each of the following situations. Use the examples given above to produce the SPSS output. Copy the output into a Word document to save paper. Then, type a sentence or two in which you interpret the results using APA reporting method that was outlined above. Use the five step process to help you determine your results and report your findings. In reality, SPSS is doing the calculation for you—your reporting is what would be reported in step 5 of hypothesis testing.
