Independent Samples Test Table

Figure 1. Test for equality of group variances
Two tests of the difference between the two groups

The procedure produces two tests of the difference between the two groups. One test assumes that the variances of the two groups are equal. The Levene statistic tests this assumption. In this example, the significance value of the statistic is 0.276. Because this value is greater than 0.10, you can assume that the groups have equal variances and ignore the second test. Using the pivoting trays, you can change the default layout of the table so that only the "equal variances" test is displayed.
