ACTIVITY 4: HYPOTHESIS TESTING ( RESEARCH APPLICATION)

Problem 1

Null Hypothesis: There is no significant difference between mean assessment ratings of

students in English and Mathematics fields of specialization on faculty resources area.

Alternative Hypothesis: There is significant difference between mean assessment

ratings of students in English and Mathematics fields of specialization on faculty
resource area.

Data Analysis:

English Mathematics
Mean 3.8 3.17
Variance 0.84 0.52
Observations 10 12
t-value 1.82
p-value 0.084

Decision/Conclusion:

Since the computed value of p = 0.084 is higher than five percent level of
significance ꭤ = 0.05 then the null hypothesis is not rejected. Therefore, there is no
significant difference between mean assessment ratings of students in English and
Mathematics fields of specialization on faculty resources area. The data did not provide
sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
Problem 2

Null Hypothesis: There is no significant difference between effective teaching strategies

administered in pre-test and post-test.

Alternative Hypothesis: There is significant difference between effective teaching

strategies administered in pre-test and post-test.

Data Analysis:

Pre-Test Post Test

Mean 83.86 85.36
Variance 24.9 39.32
Observations 14 14
t-value -2.77
p-value 0.016

Decision/Conclusion:

Since the computed value of p = 0.016 is lower than five percent level of
significance ꭤ = 0.05 then the null hypothesis is rejected. Therefore, there is a
significant difference between effective teaching strategies administered in pre-test and
post-test. The data provide sufficient evidence to accept the null hypothesis.
Problem 3

Null Hypothesis: There is no significant difference between mean score whether the
experimental group exposed to a new instructional material and the mean score of the
control group.

Alternative Hypothesis: There is significant difference between mean score whether the
experimental group exposed to a new instructional material and the mean score of the
control group.

Data Analysis:

Experimental Control
Mean 34.2 29.5
Variance 29.73 23.17
Observations 10 10
t-value 3.55
P-value 0.0062

Decision/Conclusion:

Since the computed value of p = 0.0062 is lower than five percent level of significance ꭤ
= 0.05 then the null hypothesis is rejected. Therefore, there is a significant difference
between mean score whether the experimental group exposed to a new instructional
material and the mean score of the control group. The data provide sufficient evidence
to accept the null hypothesis.
Problem 4

Null Hypothesis: There is no significant difference between mean ratings of

administrators grouped according to management styles A, B, and C.

Alternative Hypothesis: There is significant difference between mean ratings of

administrators grouped according to management styles A, B, and C.

Data Analysis:

A B C
Mean 7.63 11 12.29
Variance 2.55 4 4.90
Observations 8 9 7
F-value 11.81
P-value 0.00037

Decision/Conclusion:

Since the computed value of p = 0.00037 is lower than five percent level of
significance ꭤ = 0.05 then the null hypothesis is rejected. Therefore, there is a
significant difference between mean ratings of administrators grouped according to
management styles A, B, and C. The data provide sufficient evidence to accept the null
hypothesis.
