We will be analyzing the closing stock prices on May 13 2008, May 13 2011 and May
13 2015 using IBM SPSS to discover any trends or differences in the stock prices.
Independent Means Test between
May 13 2008 and May 13 2011
The purpose of this test is to determine if the closing price is different between May
13 2008 and May 13 2011.

The test statistic is Tstat and the parameter being measured is , where

1 is the price on May 13 2008.

2 is the price on May 13 2011.

Since this is an independent means test, equal variances are assumed.

At a 95% confidence interval, T stat is -1.1200.

Sig., or the P-value is 0.0690. Since p value > 0.05 (), do not reject H .
0

Ho: 1 2
Ha: 1 = 2

There is insufficient evidence that there is a difference between the closing

price of the stocks in 2008 and 2015, therefore we do not reject the null
hypothesis.

Dependent Means test between
May 13 2008 and May 13 2011
The dependent t-test compares the means between two related groups on the
same continuous, dependent variable.

The test statistic is Tstat and the parameter being measured is , where

1 is the price on May 13 2008.

2 is the price on May 13 2011.

At a 95% confidence interval, T stat is 3.104.

 Conclusion
The dependent t-test (called the paired-samples t-test in SPSS Statistics) compares
the means between two related groups on the same continuous, dependent variable.
The independent-samples t-test (or independent t-test, for short) compares the
means between two unrelated groups on the same continuous, dependent variable.
T-test was used to conduct all the analysis; in our first independent analysis, we do
not reject the Ho. We used the P-value method and found that there isnt sufficient
evidence, and there for we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Conducting the second independent analysis, we reject the Ho, because when using
the P-value method, the CI was greater than the P-value and so there was sufficient
evidence to reject the null hypothesis. As for our last independent analysis, after
using the P-value method, we found that there isnt sufficient evidence to support
the null hypothesis.
Moving on to our dependent testing, we conducted a separate analysis for each year
of the same sample size. By doing so we were able to compare the results and see if
the mean matches T and Id in the tables provided above.
