Exercise instructions

  • Conduct a pairwise t-test on vocabulary scores and social class. Set p.adjust.method to "none" (we'll adjust the significance level, not the p-value).
  • Tidy the result.
  • Do the data provide convincing evidence of a difference in the average vocabulary scores of those who self identified as middle class and those who self identified as lower class?
