Anyone Good @ Stats?

The Northern Monkey

I'm struggling like hell here, i'm terrible with numbers

I'm using a program called SPSS, to find the statistical significance of some testing i've done.

I've done my testing over 2 days so I have 2 sets of baseline tests and 2 sets of test results.

My Lecturer seems to want me to do a one way ANOVA, however to me that doesn't work unless you do all your testing on one day, and have 1 set of baseline tests.

I'm getting results using a paired samples T-test, but am unsure if they're correct!

what I want to test is...
Baseline 1 > Test 1
Baseline 2 > Test 2
Test 1> Test 2.

If anyone at al can shed some light on this i'd be truly grateful Its for my dissertation, and i'm well and truly stuck

Sir HC

What were you testing ?

You should be able to do your testing over two days, so long as the tests you conduct are repeatable. I.e. they will yield the same results time and time again.
