Step 4: Calculate your statistic and p value (this is where you run SPSS and examine your output files).
Step 5: Retain or reject the null hypothesis. (This is where you report the results of your analyses t (df) = t value, p = sig. level).
Step 6: Assess the Risk of Type I and Type II Error (did the data meet the assumptions of the statistic; effect size; and sample size).

3. Report the descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations), assumptions tests, as well as tests of statistical significance (t value, df, and p value).
4. What do these results suggest?
Question 2: Is there a difference between first time and repeat admissions in their overall satisfaction with LIGHT ON ANXIETY services as rated in January?
1. Run an Independent Samples t-test.
2. Use PatientType as the independent variable.
3. Use Overall Satisfaction in January (satjan) as the dependent variable.
4. Report the descriptive statistics, assumptions tests, as well as tests of statistical significance. Be sure to report Levene’s test results prior to reporting t-test findings.
Question 3: Has satisfaction with LIGHT ON ANXIETY services changed since the January survey?
1. Run the Paired Samples t-test.
2. Use Overall Satisfaction in January (satjan) and Overall Satisfaction in June (satjun) as the variable pair.
