In the Descriptives assignment, you saw that there was a numeric difference between men and women in their responses to the question "How afraid are you of
having a surgical operation?" In this assignment you will find out whether that difference was statistically significant.
Your first task is to analyze the data from the variable usrg1 in your FearXX.sav file to see if there was a statistically significant difference between men
and women in their reported fear of having a surgical operation. As stated in previous assignments, do not use the surg1 variable.
In this dataset the grouping variable is “sex”. Remember from the Descriptives assignment that sex is coded 0 = Male and 1 = Female.
