Reading
your Results Report - One Sample T-Test
Interpreting
the results of the One Sample T-Test function
The
results report for your One Sample T-Test contains several
pieces of information to help you interpret your results.
These are not discussed at length here, but you are encouraged
to consult a statistics textbook or the Internet to learn
more!
The
EZAnalyze results report for the one sample t-test contains
descriptive statistics for your test variable, telling you
what the mean, standard deviation, and number of cases in
the analysis were. You are also provided with the mean difference
(Mean Difference), a t-score, Eta Squared, and the significance
of the difference between means (P). "NTV" is the
Numeric Test Value you selected for the analysis.
Row
14 contains a statement indicating "in English" whether
or not the observed difference between the NTV and your test
variable were significant.
NOTE:
If you are using a known group mean as the NTV, you should
also know what the standard deviation is for that group
mean. A one sample t-test estimates the standard deviation
from your data, so check to make sure the standard deviation
in your sample is similar to the known standard deviation
in the population!
Further
discussion of what these are is beyond the scope of this
help file!
EZAnalyze
also automatically creates a disaggregation graph of your
results. To learn more about modifying this type of graph,
