Post-test Score Graph

SPSS Assignment Table

If we think about each situation on its own, we can use a paired t-test (also called a dependent t-test) to see if there’s a big difference between the scores before and after. This test works well when the same people are tested twice in different situations (like before and after a test). With a significance level of 0.05, the t-test will show us if the average difference is really different from zero.

ItemResponseComment
1. What’s the mean?The mean difference between the pretest scores and post-test scores is 8.4.On average, the scores increased by 8.4 points between the pretest and post-test for all the cases. This means that overall, there was an improvement in scores from before to after the test.
2. What’s the t-test resultsThe t-test resulted in a t-value of 4.452 with 4 degrees of freedom.The t-value of 4.452 shows there’s a big difference between the scores before and after the test. At a significance level of 0.05, this t-value tells us it’s unlikely the score difference happened just by luck.
3. What’s the standard deviationThe standard deviation of the differences between the pretest scores and post-test scores is approximately 4.219.The standard deviation of 4.219 shows how much the scores before and after the test vary. A small standard deviation means the differences are pretty consistent or close to the average difference of 8.4.
