Check that Mu1 is truly less than Mu2 and divide the two tailed p by 2.
If Mu1 < mu2 and the p given is .054, then the one tailed p is .054/2 =
.027.

Subject: Independent Sample T-Test (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE
I want to do a T-test on two groups. Group 1 receives a treatment,
group 2 does not.
The standard null hypothesis applies: MU1 = MU2
My alternative hypothesis is MU1 < MU2.
The default alternative in SPSS is MU1 not equal to MU2, and provides 2
sided significance.
Is there a way to specify the strictly less than condition in my
alternative hypothesis?
