Total 27 51 53 35 166

Step 1.
Null Hypothesis (Ho)
There is no significant relationship between social economics status and number of students
found cheating among the students.
Alternative Hypothesis (H1)
There is a significant relationship between social economics status and number of students found
cheating among the students.

Step 2. Level of Significance
= 0.05 for 95% confidence

df = (c-1)(r-1)
= (4 1) (3 1)
= (3)(2)
df = 6

Step 3. Reject null hypothesis if the computed value is greater than 12.59.

Step 4. Compute the value of the test statistics from the given data

= 0.21 + 0.17 + 0.35 + 0.4 = 1.13
Step 5: The computed x
2
value of 1.13 is lesser than critical value (12.59) we fail to reject the null
hypothesis.
Step 6: Since the computed x
2
value of 1.13 is lesser the critical value of 12.59, therefore null hypothesis is
accepted: there is no significant relationship between socio economic status and cheating among high
school students.

Step 3:
Reject Ho if the computed t value is greater than the critical t value of 1.761 at = 0.05 with
fourteen degrees of freedom.
Step 4:
Compute the value of the test statistics from the given data using t test for dependent samples.

Step 5:
Reject the null hypothesis since the computed value of 4.911 is greater than the critical value of
1.761 at 0.05 with 14 degrees of freedom.
Step 6: CONCLUSION
There is a significant difference between the first exam and the second exam in statistics.

Math Group 28 35 23 24 25 19 20 21 23 25

Step 1:
Null Hypothesis (Ho)
There is no significant relationship between the scores obtained by general science major and
mathematics major in an inventory test.
Alternative Hypothesis (H1)
There is a significant relationship between the scores obtained by general science major and
mathematics major in an inventory test.

Step 2:
is set at 0.05 level of significance
df = n1 + n2 2
= 13 + 10 - 2
df = 21
Step 3:
Reject Ho if the computed value is greater than 1.721.
Step 4:
Compute the value of the test statistics from the given data using t test for dependent samples.






















Step 5:
Since the computed t value of 0.106 is lower than critical value of 1.721, and then the null
hypothesis is accepted.
Step 6: CONCLUSION
There is no significant difference between the scores obtained by general science major and
mathematics major in a inventory test.
