She divides thetwins into two groups (“Twin 1” and “Twin 2”), collects the dataand creates the table below.
Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS datafile and run a paired-samples t test to test the claim that theidentical twins raised apart will have a different numberof Facebook® friends. Follow the directions below the table tocomplete the homework.
