CHAPTER 4

PRESENTATION, ANALYSES AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter provides all the data gathered from this study. It presents the collected

findings that are in the tables and are arranged accordingly. The results that answered the

problem of the study and the hypothesis are displayed in the tables and are discussed

after it.

I. Data Collected on the Application of the Insecticide

Table 2.1 The Number of Seconds the Mosquito Died in the Experimental Group

Trials Number of seconds (s)

Trial 1 30 s

Trial 2 27.94 s

Trial 3 44.42 s

Trial 4 Did not die

Trial 5 58.88 s

Trial 6 150.88 s

Trial 7 42.72 s

Trial 8 40.72 s

Trial 9 38.6 s

Trial 10 32.44 s
 Table 2.1 shows the number of seconds the mosquito died in each trial. Among the

trials, Trial 1 was the fastest mosquito to die after being sprayed by the durian husk

insecticide. Trial 3 was the only mosquito who did not die along the process.

Table 2.2 The Number of Seconds the Mosquito Died in the Control Group

Trials Number of Seconds (s)

Trial 1 6.45 s

Trial 2 3.2 s

Trial 3 3s

Trial 4 4.32 s

Trial 5 3.5 s

Trial 6 5s

Trial 7 4.12 s

Trial 8 3s

Trial 9 3.41 s

Trial 10 3.23 s

Table 2.2 shows the number of seconds the mosquito died in each trial in the Control

Group. Among the trials, Trial 3 and Trial 8 were the fastest mosquito to die after being

sprayed by the commercially-sold insecticide. Trial 1 was the mosquito who died in the

longest time.

II. The Processed Data on the Effectivity of the Insecticide

 Table 3.1 Group Statistics between the Experimental and Control Group

Group N Mean Std. Deviation Std. Error Mean

1 9 51.8358 38.27380 12.75793

2 10 3.9230 1.10005 .34787

In Table 3.1, it shows that the mean of the two groups have big difference when

compared to each other. The effect of the durian husk insecticide to the mosquitoes is not

that same to the commercially-sold insecticide though it killed the mosquitoes.

3.754 8.012 .006 47.91278 12.76268 18.48960 77.33596

Table 3.2 shows that there is a significance difference between the two groups since

its sig or p-value is less than 0.05 which is the level of significant.
 Thus, using durian husk as insecticide is effective. But based on the processed data,

it is not preferable to use the durian husk insecticide since it has a significant difference

to those of the commercially-sold insecticides.

The average time of the control group is less than the average time of the

experimental group. Signifying that it is better to use the commercially-sold insecticide.
