Name the variable
![Page 12: How to input data in spss for independent samples t tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/55847917d8b42a6b4d8b51f7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Name the variable
To name the variable here, we must look at the two levels (male and female) and come up with a name for the independent variable:

Now, back to the problem and the variable view
![Page 16: How to input data in spss for independent samples t tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/55847917d8b42a6b4d8b51f7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
You have been asked to determine if there is a difference between males and females in terms of their ACT test scores.
![Page 17: How to input data in spss for independent samples t tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/55847917d8b42a6b4d8b51f7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
You have been asked to determine if there is a difference between males and females in terms of their ACT test scores.
![Page 18: How to input data in spss for independent samples t tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/55847917d8b42a6b4d8b51f7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

You have been asked to determine if there is a difference between males and females in terms of their ACT test scores.
Now select the appropriate type of data which in this case is nominal (female/male)
![Page 20: How to input data in spss for independent samples t tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/55847917d8b42a6b4d8b51f7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
You have been asked to determine if there is a difference between males and females in terms of their ACT test scores.
Now select the appropriate type of data which in this case is nominal (female/male)
![Page 21: How to input data in spss for independent samples t tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/55847917d8b42a6b4d8b51f7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Then, we need to use numeric values as descriptors of the nominal variable to distinguish them in the analysis:
![Page 22: How to input data in spss for independent samples t tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/55847917d8b42a6b4d8b51f7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Then, we need to use numeric values as descriptors of the nominal variable to distinguish them in the analysis: 1 = Male2 = Female
![Page 23: How to input data in spss for independent samples t tests](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062300/55847917d8b42a6b4d8b51f7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
