Problem No. 1. Do boys and girls differ in their performance in English?

(Assume the
distribution is not normally distributed.)
1. Ho: There is no significant difference between the performance of boys and girls in
English.
H0 : X1 = X2
Ha: There is significant difference between the performance of boys and girls in
English.
Ha : X1 X2
2. Level of significance: 0.05
3. Test : T-test for two independent samples
4. Compute P-value: p = .719
5. Statistical Decision: Since the computed significant value was 0.719, which is
greater than critical value at 0.05 level of significance with 28.96 degrees of
freedom, then the null hypothesis was accepted.
6. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the performance of boys
and girls in English. Result shows that boys and girls have no difference in
performance in English.
