1. In order to test the effictiveness of a training programme to improve students’
knowledge on computer skill, data on knowledge level were collected both before and
after the training programme. Data on knowledge score are as follows:-

Pre-score 4 5 3 4 6 3 2 5 4 3
Post score 8 6 5 7 9 6 5 6 6 7

a. State the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis (2 %).

b. Test the hypothesis that the knowledge score before and after training
is significantly different at 0.05 level of significance (15%).
c. State your conclusion (3%).

2. The following set of data showing the distribution of student academic performance
by their place of origin. Academic performance is categorized into low, moderate and
high.

Place of Academic Performance Total

origin Low Moderate High
Urban 20 42 35 97
Rural 35 25 10 70
Total 55 67 45 167

confidence

a. State the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis (2%)

b. Calculate the chi-square value (12%)
c. State your decision and conclusion (6%)
[20%]

(using Turkey HSD). Screen snapshot the Turkey HSD (5%).

[20%]

4. It has been consistently shown from review of literature that X is negatively related to
Y. To further prove this hypothesis, data were collected from a randomly selected
sample shown below:

(X) (Y)

a. State the null and alternative hypothesis for regression model (2%).
b. From the model summary table, justify the quality of prediction of the dependent
variable (2%).
c. From the ANOVA table, discuss whether the independent variable is
statistically significant in predicting the dependent variable (2%).
d. State the general form of equation for prediction. Find the value of Y when X=150
(4%).
