Descriptive statistics
To display the data so that they are easily understood
Graphic, stem and leaf, histogram
Includes 3 groups of measures:
1. Central tendency
Mean, median, mode, midpoint
2. Measure of dispersion or variability
Range, standard deviation, variance, means deviation, IQR, Index of qualitative
variation (IQV)
3. Measure of relative standing
Percentile rank, Z score, CEEB Score, T score
2. Inferential statistics
To make a judgment or decision or conclusion
Keywords: hypothesis testing
a. Formulating the hypotheses (null and alternative)
b. Setting the criteria
Critical value approach:
If obtained value ≥ critical value, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted
If obtained value < critical value, H0 is accepted
p value approach:
If p value ≤ 0.05, H0 is rejected, and H1 is accepted
If p value > 0.05, H0 is accepted
c. Calculating the data by using a statistical test
d. Making the decision.

NORMALITY
 Chi square goodness of fit
 Kosmogorov Smirnov
 Saphiro Wilk

Hypothesis:
H0 : the data set has the normal distribution
H1 : the data set does not have the normal distribution
The results from Saphiro Wilk test show that the obtained value = 0.35 and p
value = 0.200. Because p value (0.200) > 0.05, H0 is accepted. It means that
the data set has normal distribution.

HOMOGENEITY
H0 = the two data sets have the same distribution
H1 = the two data sets do not have the same distribution
F test, Levene Test, Brown Forshyte,

CORRELATION
H0 = There is no significant correlation between x and y
H1 = There is a significant correlation between x and y
H0 = There is no positive significant correlation between x and y
H1 = There is a positive significant correlation between x and y
H0 = There is no negative significant correlation between x and y
H1 = There is a negative significant correlation between x and y

The results from Pearson Product Moment correlation coefficient show that
r obtained = 0.71 and p value=0.001. At the significance level 0.05 in one
tailed testing n=30, the r table=0.306. Because r obtained (0.71) > r table
(0.306), H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. It means that there is a significant
positive correlation between x and y.
