To calculate the independent sample t-test, we first need to determine if the variances of the two groups (CLOCKWISE and COUNTER-CLOCKWISE) are equal. We can do this by running a Levene's test.
Performing a Levene's Test for Equal Variances:
Null Hypothesis (H0): The variances of the two groups are equal.
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha): The variances of the two groups are not equal.
Let's start by conducting the Levene's test using the clockwisepackage in R:
```R
# Step 1: Enter the data
CLOCKWISE <- c(185, 182, 184.3, 176, 179.5, 178.2, 181.7, 159.5, 162.3, 160.5, 166, 163.5, 162.7, 167, 167, 163, 162.5, 162, 163, 161, 163.5, 160.3, 167.3, 127.8, 128.8, 137, 113.2, 116.5, 131.5, 144.5, 143.3, 152, 143, 141.2, 141, 142.6, 141.7, 126.6, 128, 140, NA, NA, 141.6, 142, 138, 140, 138.4, 142, 137.8, 140.4, 137.4, 134.2)
COUNTER_CLOCKWISE <- c(136.8, 138.8, 139, 138.8, 136.8, 152.2, 152.4, 153.2, 152.8, 151.6, 149.6, 152.8, 152.6, 149.2, 150.6, 150, 148.6, 149.4, 149.6, 149.6, 151, 149.2, 148.2, 152.2, 150.2, 150.8, 149.4, 148.2, 150.2, 148.6, 149, 150.2, 148.6, 150.8, 149, 149.8, 146.6, 150.2, 148.4, 149.2, 149.2, 148.8, 150.2, 148.4, 148.4, 149.6, 148.8, 147.2, 148.8, 154, 150.4, 148, 144, 149.2, 148.2, 149, 149.6, 146.8, 148.6, 149.8, 149, 148.2, 147.8, 147.2, 147, 149.8, 148.2, 146.4, 146, 147.2, 148.1, 146.1, 150, 146.8, 152, 149, 148.8, 149.2, 147.9, 151.2, 146.6, 149.7, 148.3, 147.5, 148.7, 147.9, 148.7, 149.7, 147.5, 151.6, 150.9, 150.4, 150.7, 148.5, 146.7)
# Step 2: Install the clockwise package (if not already installed)
install.packages("clockwise")
# Step 3: Load the clockwisepackage
library(clockwise)
# Step 4: Perform Levene's test
levene.test(CLOCKWISE, COUNTER_CLOCKWISE)
```
The output of the Levene's test will provide a p-value. If the p-value is greater than the significance level (usually 0.05), we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the variances of the two groups are equal. If the p-value is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the variances are not equal.
Once we determine if the variances are equal or not, we can proceed with the independent sample t-test.
Please note that there are some missing values (NA) in the CLOCKWISE group. To run the t-test, we will need to handle these missing values by either excluding them or using an appropriate imputation method.
