Numerous studies have found that males report higher self-esteem than females, especially for adolescents. Typical results show a mean self-esteem score of M=39.0 with SS=60.2 for a sample of n=10 males and a mean self-esteem score of M=35.4 with SS=69.4 for a sample of n=12 females.
1. Do the results indicate that self-esteem is significantly higher for males ? Use a two-tailed test with a=.01. Use all 4 steps
