Task 4
Topic: Independent t-Test

1. Think of a quantitative variable that may differ in two. Discuss your rationale why do you think
that variable is not the same in the two groups.
Quantitative Variable: FIL112 Test Scores
Two Groups: Students from 1BSA-A and 1BSA-B.
Rationale: The average FIL112 test scores of students from 1BSA-A is not equal to those
Students from 1BSA-B.

2. Gather a cross sectional data for the variables chosen. Minimum of 8 observations per group.
n 1BSA-A 1BSA-B

24 10 4

3. Do the hypothesis testing using p-value approach through any free statistical software or run
in socscistatistics.com).

4. Copy your results and interpret.

With p-value=0.79986 ≠ 0.05, there is a significant difference on the FIL112 test scores. It implies
that the average FIL112 test scores of students from 1BSA-A is not equal to those students from
1BSA-B
