Output from the t-test procedure:
Possible Write-up
-----------------
A preliminary test for equality of variance indicated that the variances of
the two groups were significantly different. Therefore a two-sample t-test
was preformed that does not assume equal variances.
The means of the two groups were significantly different. Using the unequal variances t-test, t(6.2) = -4.21, p = 0.005.
Output includes added explanations, sample write-ups and hints for understanding results.
Identify specific points in scatteplots, line plots and several other plots.
