ASSIGNMENT- 02 (VAP)

Question 1: Explain the P-Value with the help of SPSS results

The P-value in statistical hypothesis testing is the probability of obtaining test results
at least as extreme as the results actually observed, under the assumption that the
null hypothesis is correct. In SPSS, the P-value is typically displayed in the output
tables when you conduct statistical tests such as t-tests, ANOVA, regression, etc.
The P-value helps determine the significance of the results. A commonly used
threshold is 0.05; if the P-value is less than 0.05, you reject the null hypothesis,
indicating that your results are statistically significant

Question 2: Explain the reliability and validity with SPSS example

Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure. A test is reliable if it produces


consistent results under consistent conditions. In SPSS, reliability can be assessed
using various methods, such as Cronbach's alpha, which measures internal
consistency. For example, if you have a questionnaire with multiple items designed
to measure a single construct, you can use SPSS to calculate Cronbach's alpha. A
value above 0.7 is generally considered acceptable, indicating that the items reliably
measure the construct.

Validity refers to the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure. In
SPSS, validity can be assessed through different types of validity tests:
- Construct Validity: Ensuring the test measures the concept it intends to measure.
- Content Validity: Ensuring the test covers the entire range of the concept.
- Criterion-Related Validity: Comparing the test with other measures or outcomes
already considered valid.

Question 3: Conduct a two-way ANOVA Test on SPSS with results

To conduct a two-way ANOVA in SPSS, follow these steps:


1. Input the Data: Enter your data into SPSS, with one column for each factor and
one column for the dependent variable.
2. Select ANOVA: Go to `Analyze > General Linear Model > Univariate`.
3. Specify the Model: Move your dependent variable to the "Dependent Variable" box
and your two factors to the "Fixed Factor(s)" box.
4. Options and Post Hoc Tests: Click on `Options` to select descriptive statistics,
estimates of effect size, and post hoc tests if necessary.
5. Run the Analysis: Click `OK` to run the ANOVA.

The output will include tables showing the main effects and interaction effects of the
factors on the dependent variable. The significance of these effects is determined by
the P-values in the "Tests of Between-Subjects Effects" table.

Here is a brief interpretation of the results:


- Main Effects: Look at the P-values for each factor. If the P-value is less than 0.05,
the factor has a significant effect on the dependent variable.
- Interaction Effect: Look at the P-value for the interaction term. If the P-value is less
than 0.05, there is a significant interaction effect between the factors.

These results help in understanding whether and how the factors independently and
together influence the dependent variable.
