Tools for Data Analysis

Usually, tables for data exposition and interpretation will be used to

analyze data.

The table below provides guidance on the selection of the correct

statistical tools.

Focus of Sample Problems Tools for Data Analysis

Profile
Level, extent, degree, etc.
Significant relationship
Significant difference
Frequency counts, percentages, ranking,
summation, coding scheme
Weighted mean
T-ratio for r
1. Test-retest: PAIRED
2. Independent variables (gender &
performance): t-test independent for
means
3. Variables: ANOVA; post-ANOVA

Sample Presentation in the Research Paper

The profile of the respondents along highest educational

qualifications, salary and year of service was treated using a coding
scheme, frequency and percentages.

The level of performance of the faculty along instruction, research

and extension was determined using weighted mean.

The significant relationship existing between profile variables and

the degree of attainment of educational objectives was determining
using t-ratio for r.

The significant difference between the perception of teachers and

students as regards the school programs was determined using t-test
independent for means.
The following are the formulas:

I.Weighted Mean

(Σ f x)
I. WM =
N (to be used for determining extent, degree, level,etc)

Where:

WM = weighted mean
f = frequency
x =ratings
Σfx = summation of the product of f and x
N =number of respondents/cases

II. t-ratio of r

tr = r √ n-2 (to be used for determining significant relationship)

1-r2

Where:

tr - t-ratio for r
n - number of cases/ respondents
n-2 - degrees of freedom
r - correlation coefficient

Where:

Σ(x- x) (y-y)
r=
√ ( Σ (x－x) 2 (y－y) 2)

Where:

x - raw score for the first group

x - mean of the first group

y - raw score for the second group

y - mean of the second group

Calculation of t-ratio for r

tr = 0.97 √ 4-2
1-(0.97)2

tr = 5.64

Referring to the t table where n-2 =2 at 0.05 level of significance, the t-critical
is 2.920

Thus, t-computed (5.64) > t-critical (2.920). So, reject Ho, there is a significant
relationship between GPA and competence in NMAT.

II. t-test
x1－ x2
t = (to be used for independent groups)
√ (n-1-1)s2 1+(n-2-1)s2 2 n1+ n2

Where:

x1 - mean of the first group

(x2) - mean of the second group

n1 - no. of cases in group 1

n2 - no. Of cases in group 2

s1 - population variance of group 1

s2 - population variance of group 2

t =

t = -11.51 (disregard negativity)

Referring to the t table where n1 + n2-2 = 8 at 0.05 level of significance, the

t-critical is 1.860

Thus, t-computed (11.51) > t-critical (1.860). So, reject Ho, there is a significant
difference between groups 1 and 2. Group 2 is better than group 1.

Referring to the F table where dfb= 2 and dfw= 12 at 0.05 level of

significance, the t-critical is 3.74.

Thus, F-computed (20.22) > F-critical (3.74). So, reject Ho, there is a
significant difference between the scores among the three groups.

==========================================================
V.Tukey’s Post Hoc

M1-M2
Tukey’s Post Hoc =
√ MSW 1
n

Where:

M = means
MSW = MS within

Steps:

1. Calculate the analysis of variance (e.g., One-way between-subjects

ANOVA).
2. Select two means and note the relevant variables (Means, Mean
Square Within, and number per condition/group).
3. Calculate Tukey’s test for each mean comparison.
4. Check to see if Tukey’s score statistically significant with Tukey’s
probability/ critical value table taking into account appropriate
dfwithin and number of treatments.
