Question 1170826: 2. Was the assumption of equal variances met for this Independent Samples T-test (yes or no)?

Independent Samples Test
Levene's Test for Equality of Variances t-test for Equality of Means
F Sig. t df Sig. (2-tailed) Mean Difference Std. Error Difference 95% Confidence Interval of the Difference
Lower Upper
Number Screen Changes / Stimulation per minute Equal variances assumed 1.865 .173 -2.357 382 .019 -1.29709 .55031 -2.37912 -.21507
Equal variances not assumed -2.360 381.587 .019 -1.29709 .54951 -2.37753 -.21666

I say yes am I correct?

To determine if the assumption of equal variances was met, we need to look at Levene's Test for Equality of Variances.
* **Levene's Test:** This test checks if the variances of the two groups being compared are equal.
* **Sig. (Significance):** This is the p-value of Levene's Test.
In this case:
* F = 1.865
* Sig. = 0.173
**Interpretation:**
* If the Sig. value (p-value) is greater than 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis of equal variances. This means we can assume equal variances.
* If the Sig. value (p-value) is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis of equal variances. This means we cannot assume equal variances.
Since the Sig. value is 0.173, which is greater than 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
**Answer:**
Yes, the assumption of equal variances was met.
