Question: Research shows that approximately 50% of incoming Community College freshmen require remediation in math, reading, or writing.

Using the data below, assume that group 0 is a non-equivalent control group (developmental reading students at a community college that did not complete the developmental reading course requirement) , and that group 1 is the group of students that successfully completed the developmental reading course requirement. The performance of both groups on a standardized reading comprehension test is measured, and the scores are presented below.

8a) Does the data meet the assumption of equal variance; and how have you determined this?

8b) If Levene's test is significant, how would go about analyzing the data to determine if the performance of the two groups is equivalent?

8c) Analyze the following data in spss and summarize the results - be sure to address Levene's test. Write a brief APA summary of the results. Post your summary as an ms-word file to the discussion board.
