Abstract

The study employed the two group design in which subjects are divided into two

groups (senior high school students and electricians) and then the results are compared

to determine the effectiveness of the product in terms of accuracy and functionality.

This study was formulated to produce an automatic shut off product by the use of

a timer that can help users lessen the burden of having overcharged phone batteries. A

questionnaire was used as a method of collecting data from the two distinct group with a

total of 30 respondents from each group to determine the significant difference on the

effectiveness in terms of the preciseness of the function, accuracy of the voltage and the

consistency of the product.

The statistical test procedure was run along with the use of the level of

significance, p-value, for the rejection or acceptance of the null hypothesis. Furthermore,

the hypothesis shall be tested at α = 0.05 level of significance. To finally carry out all of

these statistical analyses, the predictive analytics software Statistical Package for Social

Science (IBM SPSS Statistics 20) shall be accustomed.

Calculations were analysed and interpreted using T-test for two independent

sample. The results revealed that there is no significant difference between the

responses of the two distinct groups in terms of accuracy with a computed value of

1.210 which is lesser than the tabular value of 2.0017 at 5% level of significance. The

results also revealed that there is no significant difference between the responses of the

two distinct groups in terms of functionality with a computed value of 1.381 which is

lesser than the tabular value of 2.0017 at 5% level of significance.

Thus, the charging station with timer is very convenient for users and truly

reliable and excel for the function it was designed for. Moreover, the data driven from the
 v

responses of both students and electricians shows that the product is certainly

convenient, address the conclusion statement.

The researchers highly recommend to use an alarm system which triggers when

timer sets off to notify the user immediately to avoid overcharging and so the battery of

the gadgets will retain its capacity much longer.
