| dc.description.abstract | Conducting research is a prerequisite to adding to the body of existing knowledge. The findings of any research can be adjudged trustworthy only if the data gathered are analysed with the appropriate statistical tool(s) because the use of wrong statistical tool(s) can mar the findings of such research. There are many parametric statistical tools which can be used to analyse data especially, when the variables involved in the study are dichotomous categorical independent variable and continuous dependent variable, hence, independent samples t-test is the most appropriate statistical tool required for such analysis. Independent samples t-test is used to compare the mean scores of two different groups of people or conditions. The analysis of independent samples t-test can be computed manually but it is prone to error(s) particularly when large sample is involved. However, the use of computer application can help to avert the potential errors of manual analysis of research data. This paper unfolds the meaning of independent samples t-test, its assumptions underlying the use of independent samples t-test and the step by step procedures for analysing data using computer application of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). | |
