Trying to run a ind t-test, says 'at least on of the groups is empty. HELP!?

  • Follow


Im trying to write a practical report for uni. In doing so I am
required to test the difference between males and females in scores of
3 different tests. One of the tests works, but the other 2 dont,
saying that the group is missing. Needs to be finished today as I dont
have SPSS at home. Please help me, this is the first time Ive used
SPSS.

Thanks guys :)
