Abstract
This chapter focuses on the comparison of two independent populations. SPSS does not have a procedure for testing hypotheses about means when the population standard deviations are known, or any procedure for testing hypotheses about two proportions; these tests must be computed by hand. There are procedures in SPSS for comparing means when the standard deviations are estimated from the sample, however.
