Answer 1

1. The SPSS output is:

Descriptives Gender Female BES Scores Std. Error 2.61844 BESScores Mean 95% Confidence Interval for Mean Lower Bound Upper Bound Statistic 76.6667 71.1422 82.1911 76.6296 77.5000 5% Trimmed Mean Median Variance Std. Deviation Minimum Maximum 123.412 11.10908 57.00 97.00 40.00 16.50 -.151 Range Interquartile Range Skewness Kurtosis -592 536 1.038 2.73340 Male BES Scores Mean 95% Confidence Interval for Mean Lower Bound Upper Bound 5% Trimmed Mean Median Variance Std.

2. The median score for females in the sample is 77.5.

3. For Male:

Mean = 63.61

Median = 65.5

For Female:

Mean = 76.67

Median = 77.5

Since the mean and median scores for Male is less than Female, we can say that male adolescents score lower than females on the BES.

4. The boxplot is:
