Independent t-test The marks of Additional Mathematics Paper 1 in Year End Exam for the Form 4PA1 and 4PA2 students are shown below. We are going to determine whether there is a significant difference between the performance of both classes students in that exam. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 (i) Hypothesis: 4PA1 42 41 59 60 46 37 29 30 42 37 57 28 52 35 29 29 4PA2 36 42 26 29 48 34 25 49 55 26 58 45 45 58 36 51

(ii) Criteria: By using two-tailed test, df = (16 - 1) + (16 - 1) = 30 critical value t = 2.042

-2.042

2.042

(iii) Calculation using SPSS:

(iv) Conclusion: t = - 0.156 does not lie in the critical region. Fail to reject . Conclude that there is no significant difference in the performance in the exam between both classes.

2. Dependent t-test The marks of Additional Mathematics Mid Year Exam (PPT) and Year End Exam (PAT) for 30 students in Form 4PA2 are shown below. We are going to determine whether there is a significant difference between their performance in Additional Mathematics for Mid Year Exam and Year End Exam. Student 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 PPT 12 51 25 26 31 29 61 11 8 16 30 30 40 36 19 14 0 0 2 0 18 23 21 7 31 3 9 35 30 14 PAT 11 17 11 6 19 9 38 11 11 30 27 17 22 9 11 12 2 13 12 4 13 11 26 4 12 4 2 19 13 2

(i) Hypothesis:

(ii) Criteria: By using two-tailed test, df = 30 -1 = 29 critical value t = 2.045

-2.045

2.045

(iii) Calculation using SPSS:

(iv) Conclusion: t = 3.594 lies in the critical region. Reject . Conclude that there is a significant difference in the performance of the students for the two examinations.

3. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) The marks of Additional Mathematics Paper 1 in Year End Exam for the Form 4PA1, 4PA2 and 4KJ students are shown below. We are going to determine whether there are significant differences among the performance of both classes students in that exam. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 4PA1 42 41 59 60 46 37 29 30 42 37 57 28 52 35 29 29 4PA2 36 42 26 29 48 34 25 49 55 26 58 45 45 58 36 51 4KJ 41 57 37 46 13 69 16 65 18 13 14 12 70

(i) Hypothesis:

At least one of the treatment means is different

(ii) Criteria:

= 3 -1 = 2 = (16 -1) + (16 -1) + (13 -1) = 42

Critical F value = 3.22

(iii) Calculation using SPSS:

(iv) Conclusion: F = 0.456 does not lie in the critical region. Fail to reject . Conclude that there is no significant differences in the performance of the exam among the three groups of students.
