Problem Set 2: The paired-samples t test

Research Scenario: A social worker in a rural school district is interested in how a new program is affecting the number of days that high school students are truant from school (i.e. absent without permission from parents, doctor, etc.). She takes a sample of 15 students from school records and notes the number of days truant in the year before the program and the year after the program. The data are listed in the table below.

Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file and run a paired-samples t test to test the claim that there is a difference in the number of truant days before and after the program was implemented. Follow the directions below the table to complete the homework.
