b. State the null hypothesis.

Answer:
- There is no significant difference in the job performance of private and public
teachers in Metro Manila.

c. Give the appropriate statistical tool.

Answer:
- The appropriate statistical tool is Z-test: Two sample for means

d. Compute the results with the use of computer. Show the steps.
Answer:
Step 1. Open Microsoft Excel

 Step 3. Click Tools > Excel add-ins. Check Analysis Toolpak. Click Ok.
Step 4. Highlight the data. Click Tools > Data Analysis.
Step 5. Click Z-test: Two-Sample for Means. Click Ok.
Step 6. Select the input Variable 1 Range: $B$4: $B$18; Input Variable 2 Range: $C$4:
$C$18; Hypothesized Mean Difference: 0; Variable 1 Variance (known): 4.558107;
Variable 2 Variance (known): 0.952393; and Alpha 0.05.
Step 7. Click Ok
Step 8. The computer displays as follows:

e. Find the tabular value at 0.01 level of significance.

f. Interpret the results.

- The mean job performance of private school teachers in Metro Manila is 8.53 which is
very satisfactory, while the mean job performance of public-school teachers in Metro
 Manila is 6.67 which is satisfactory. The computed z-test value obtained is 3.079760173
