Step II: State your alpha (unless requested otherwise, this is always set to alpha = .05).
Step III: Collect the data (use one of the data sets).
Step IV: Calculate your statistic and p value (this is where you run SPSS and examine your output files).
Step V: Retain or reject the null hypothesis. (This is where you report the results of your analyses t (df) = t value, p = sig. level).
Step VI: Assess the Risk of Type I and Type II Error (did the data meet the assumptions of the statistic; effect size; and sample size).
