1. Create the data set.
a. Using the "Activity 6a.sav" file as a starting point, create a new dataset that you can use with the between subjects design. Hint: you will no longer need the variables CreativePre and CreativeTest. Instead, you have only one variable for the score on the creativity test. A second (or grouping) variable will serve to indicate which test the student took.
b. Submit the dataset as one of the Activity 6 files. Name the file in the following format:
2. Exploratory Data Analysis/Hypotheses.
a. Perform exploratory data analysis on CreativityPre and CreativityPost. Using SPSS, calculate the mean and standard deviation of these two variables.
b. Construct an appropriate chart/graph that displays the relevant information for these two variables.
c. Write the null and alternative hypotheses used to test the question above (e.g., whether participation in the course affects writing scores).
3. Comparison of Means
a. Perform an independent t test to assess your hypotheses above (note that many versions of SPSS use the term "independent samples t test" rather than simply "independent t test".
b. Write one or two paragraphs that describe the dataset, gives your hypothesis, and presents the results of the dependent sample t test. Be sure that your writing conforms to APA style.
4. Comparison of Designs
a. In this activity you used the same dataset to analyze both a between- and within-subjects design. Create a single paragraph (using the material you wrote above), that presents both sets of results.
b. Explain, in 300-500 words, whether the two tests resulted in the same findings. Did you expect this to be
