He does not have a prediction as to whether the boys or the girlswill be better – he simply wants to see if they differ significantly on the math exam.1. State (using symbols or words) the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis for his mathematics Independent-Samples t Test.H0:Ha:2. Using an a priori alpha () level of .05.2.a. Has Dr. Kureous met the assumption of homogeneity of variance for the Math Exam ttest?YES or NO (circle your answer selection)2.b. Justify/explain your answer – that is, how did you come to your conclusion? (Hint: look at the SPSS printout).3. After computing the test statistic (t-test) – complete the following tables for the Math Exam Independent-Samples t-Test (Do not round – use the values from SPSS):Gender N MeanStandardDeviationStandard Errorof the MeanBoysGirlst dfSig.(2-tailed)MeanDifference95% CI of theDifferenceLower Upper4.
