II. Introduction:
In every research, thesis or study, it is very important that the researcher/s are
familiar with the basic procedures in interpreting the research findings in order to shed
light and meanings to the results.
Educational Research deals with two kinds of statistical data, descriptive data
and statistical data (Mathews & Ross,2010).
In the interpretative sense of a study, there are readers who wanted to find and
understand the relationship of variables investigated so to present the expectations or
predictions of relationship between variables in the study.
-What is a Hypothesis?
In the previous cited example, on students who would frequent visit the library,
a perception may be formed. As study wanted to find out whether, the students
who are “frequent library users” or “ seldom library users” will differ their
academic performances.
In print data of commonly used statistical package, the decision criteria for
accepting or rejecting hypothesis is on the computed p-value (significance level). The p-
value summarizes clearly how much agreement there is between the data or null
hypothesis (Ho). The p-value is an excellent way to summarize what data says about
the credibility of Ho.
