r (coded as "sex"). Data were categorized as "male" (coded "1") or "female" (coded as "2").
Reading Standardized Score (coded as "by2xrstd"). Data were structured so that higher scores indicated higher proficiency in reading.
Statistical Results. A t-test was run, which produced both group statistics and an independent samples test. The independent samples test generated both F-test data (Levene's Test for Equality of Variances) and t-test data (Equality of Means). These results are presented in the attached table "T-Test."
Discussion of Results. The group statistics indicated that the mean reading standardized score for female eighth graders was higher than the mean reading standardized score for male eighth graders. Neither the Levene's Test for Equality of Variances nor the t-test for Equality of Means, however, found that the variations in subject reading standardized score related to subject gender were statistically significant at p<.01. The F-statistic for the Levene's Test for Equality of Variances of .257 was associated with a st
