Activity 7.2. Comparing two groups
1. Open the file studentdata.sav. This file contains data from a survey about profile and
perception of students on Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) used in SUCs in
Region VIII.
2. Is the distribution of the variable perception normally distributed for board and non-
board students?
A. Board students
Name of Tests: Student’s T test.
Value of test statistic: 11.169
p-value: .000
Interpretation: The computed test statistic (T) is 11.1169 with a two-tailed p-value of .
000. Thus, using the p-value approach, we reject H0 and conclude that there is
difference between the mean number of perception of students on SET of board
students. The sign of the computed t value indicating that group with code 0(Board)
has a higher mean than that of the group coded 1 (Non Board).
B. Non-board students
Name of Tests: Student’s T test.
Value of test statistic: 11.066
p-value: .000
Interpretation: The computed test statistic (T) is 11.066 with a two-tailed p-value of .
000. Thus, using the p-value approach, we reject H0 and conclude that there is
difference between the mean number of perception of students on SET of board
students. The sign of the computed t value indicating that group with code 0(Board)
has a higher mean than that of the group coded 1 (Non Board).
3. Is there a significant difference in the perception on SET between board and
non-board students?
Name of Tests: Independent Sample T. Test, Levene’s Test for Equality of Variances.
Value of test statistic: 21.197

p-value: .000
Interpretation: The test statistic (F) value is 21.197 with p-value (Sig.) of 0.000. Using
the p-value approach, we fail to reject H0. The data is not sufficient to reject H0. Thus,
the variances of the number of distributed variable perception of board and non board
students are equal.
