Qualification, F(2,32) = 6.897, p=0.003.
Since there is a significant difference in Entrance Examination of student
when they are classified according to their Fathers Education Qualification,
We will use Scheffe test to determine which will be the group having a

Pair wise comparison by Scheffe Test reveals that there is no significant difference
between the secondary and bachelors degree qualification of the father, p=0.41, however
there is a significant difference between secondary and masters degree qualification of the
Father, p=0.005. Likewise there is a significant difference between the bachelors and
master degree qualification of the father, p= 0.031.
