V. Part 5: Accreditation
Suppose:
H0: The average tuition fee of FPT University students 1 year is 45,000,000 VND
H1: The average tuition fee of FPT University students 1 year is not 45,000,000
VND

Comment: Because Sig. ( 2-tailed ) < 0.05, we reject the statement H0. The
average tuition fee of FPT University students 1 year is not 45,000,000. The
average 1-year tuition fee of FPT University students is 48,720,000.

Verdict: the average score of people under 20 years old is higher than the number
of people over 20 years old.
Do a t-test for two variables:
Group of people under 20 years old
Group of people over 20 years old

H0: the average score of people under 20 years old is greater than the number of
people over 20 years old.
H1: the average score of people under 20 years old is smaller than the number of
people over 20 years old.

old.

With a confidence level of 95%, does the assessment “what year students” affect
the infrastructure score?

H0: What year is being a student affecting the infrastructure score.

H1: being a student does not affect the score of infrastructure.

VI.Conclusion:

Conclude The topic has achieved the objectives set out in this research, has given
the reason why students choose to study at FPT school. About the location, about
the facilities or about the reputation of the school. Because of the complicated
epidemic situation, it is very difficult to reach many students, as well as our
knowledge is limited, so there will definitely be limitations and unexpected
omissions. The data will also not say with certainty because the size of the survey
and the audience is still very limited. If possible, the topic will be expanded to
reach up to 200 students as well as from many areas. And will definitely give more
knowledge to overcome the existing shortcomings.
