Nature of variables Assumption Under line hypothesis What tables are important?
Assumption
This test assumes that the data are normally distributed; however, this test is fairly robust to departures from normality.
Process
To begin the analysis, from the menus choose: Analyze
Independent-Samples T Test
The values of the quantitative variable of interest are in a single column in the data file. The procedure uses a grouping variable with two values to separate the cases into two groups. The grouping variable can be numeric (values such as 1 and 2 or 6.25 and 12.5) or short string (such as yes and no).
Assumption
For the equal-variance t test, the observations should be independent, random samples from normal distributions with the same population variance. For the unequal-variance t test, the observations should be independent, random samples from normal distributions. The two-sample t test is fairly robust to departures from normality. When checking distributions graphically, look to see that they are symmetric and have no outliers.
Hypothesis Ho : H1 :
Null Hypothesis ( H0 ): significantly no difference between means of variable Alternative Hypothesis ( H1 or Ha ): there is a significant difference between means of variable

Paired-Samples T Test
For each paired test, specify two quantitative variables (interval level of measurement or ratio level of measurement). For a matched-pairs or case-control study, the response for each test subject and its matched control subject must be in the same case in the data file.
Assumptions.
Observations for each pair should be made under the same conditions. The mean differences should be normally distributed. Variances of each variable can be equal or

Chi square
Chi square is a non-parametric statistical technique, used primarily with nominal or categorical data (e.g., rates of occurrence) which is used to discover if there is a relationship between two
categorical variables.
Assumptions.
Your two
variables should be measured at an ordinal or nominal level (i.e., categorical data). Your two variable should consist of two or more categorical, independent groups
Hypothesis
Null Hypothesis ( H0 ): there is no relation(independent) between variables Alternative Hypothesis ( H1 or Ha ): There is a relation (related) between variables

ANOVA
The one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is used with one categorical independent variable .Factor variable values should be integers, and the dependent variable should be quantitative (interval level of measurement).
Assumptions.
Each group is an independent random sample from a normal population. Analysis of variance is robust to departures from normality, although the data should be symmetric. The groups should come from populations with equal variances. To test this assumption, use Levene's homogeneityof-variance test.

From the table we can conclude that the Sig value is less
Process
From the menus choose: Analyze Compare Means One-Way ANOVA... Select one or more dependent variables. Select a single independent factor variable.
Factor analysis
The variables should be quantitative at the interval or ratio level. Categorical data (such as religion or country of origin) are not suitable for factor analysis. Data for which Pearson correlation coefficients can sensibly be calculated should be suitable for factor analysis
Assumptions
The data should have a bivariate normal distribution for each pair of variables, and observations should be independent. The factor analysis model specifies that variables are determined by common factors (the factors estimated by the model) and unique factors (which do not overlap between observed variables); the computed estimates are based on the assumption that all unique factors are uncorrelated with each other and with the common factors.
