T-test

The mean parent involvement score for parents identifying as “White” is 6.125 out of 10 and the mean parent involvement score for parents identifying as “Other Race” is 7.583 out of 10. The t-test value is 1.985 and it is not significant. This means that the mean parent involvement score is not significant between the two parent race categories. In order to run this Independent Samples T-Test, I recoded the independent variable into 2 categories that are  “White” and “Other Race”. The previous categories were Latino/Hispanic, White, African-American, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Middle Eastern, Multiracial or Other.
