A State the hypothesis, this is seen above. B. State the significance level,( i.e. the amount of error that is allowed, such as 5%. This means that the results we get may
be relied upon to a confidence level of 95%, this is the usual interval. However the student may want to have a lower level such as 90%. We will
assume a 95% significance level. C State the critical, that is the cut off values, these may be looked up on the relevant tables. However, if a programme such as SPSS

result is within this range it means that 95% of the result that are obtained can be expected to be in this range. When looking at tis we also need
