Task B.
Here’s a data gathered by Purok A City High School administration regarding the number
of Grade 7 parents who opted to receive printed copies of the learning modules. Fill out
the boxes for total and percentage. Then write a brief interpretation of the table.
7-A 30 6 20%
7-B 25 0 0
7-C 32 16 50%
7-D 30 19 63.33%
Interpretation
Data shows that there 6 parents who only who opted to receive printed copies of
learning modules Grade 7-A out of 30. The number of parents who opted to receive
printed copies of learning in Grade 7-A is only 20% to the total expected number of
parents that will get the learning modules. In the other hand, there are no parents who
opted to receive printed copies of learning module in Grade 7-B. In grade 7-B there
are 16 parents who opted to receive printed copies of learning module out 32 which
50% of the total expected numbers of parents that will get the copies of printed
learning modules. In Grade 7-D there 19 parents who opted to receive their learning
modules out of 30 which is 69% of the expected number of parents who receive the
copies of printed learning module in this section. Over in all, the total number of grade
7 students in by Purok A City High School is 117 and the total number of parents who
opted to receive the printed copies of learning module is 41. The total number of
parents who opted to receive the printed copies of learning module is approximately
35.04 % which indicates that there are only few parents get the copies of printed
learning module.

We can show our degrees of freedom through this equation if it is 2 sample t-test.
Substituting the known values, we get df=17.92593309 or 18.
For convenience I created a legitimate and more easy formula for degrees of freedom in
2 sample t test
df=n1+n2-2
df=10+10-2
df= 18
We can see that we arrive at the same answer from the previous or traditional way formula
to my new formula of degrees of freedom. Therefore, our degrees of freedom is 18.

t=1.909839 or 1.9098
1.909839> 2.101
Conclusion: Since 1.909839 is not in the rejection region which is 2.101 we can say
that the null hypothesis is accepted. Therefore there is not significant difference between
two night testing
I choose a confidence level of 95% meaning I’m 95% confident that if this test were
repeated it has 95% probability that it will yield the same results. So therefore P
value(alpha) that was chosen in this problem is 5% which is equal to 0.05
Base on my calculation using the formula of computing tcrit for 2 samples my tcrit is 2.101
as shown above in my solution
No. Since 1.909839(t computed) is not in the rejection region which is 2.101 we can say
that the null hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, there is no significant difference
between two night testing
Based on the given samples the first night has a mean of 24 and a standard
deviation of 11.23. The data from the second night of the experiment has a mean of 14.7
and a standard deviation of 10.53. Researchers are confident that there is no significant
difference between the first night and the second night. The researcher is 95% confident
that if he/she repeated the trial he/she was a 5% of probability of committing an error.
Based on the researcher’s calculation he/she has a t critical of 2.101 which is the
rejection region. A two tailed t-test was used in order to interpret and make an inference
about the data. If the computed t value will lies in the 2 regions of t critical the null
hypothesis will be rejected. Based on the calculation the computed t value is 1.909839
which is not located in the rejection region. Therefore, there is no significant difference
between the test in the first night and the second night.

Task B. Here’s the data about the Math Pretest and Posttest scores of ten (10) Grade 12
students of Purok A City High School. Is there a significant relationship between the
pretest and posttest scores in Math?

r= . 0.398857
r= 0.398 = 0.4
2. Interpretation:
From the table shown we can see that the score of the student from the pretest
increases in the post test. We can see that the type of correlation we have based on the
table is linear direct correlation. Linear direct correlation means that for every increase of
variable there is also a corresponding increase in the second variable as what the pre-
test and post test shown. However after computing the correlation coefficient we obtain
r=0.398 or 0.4. According to the works of Garret (1969) Pearson r can be interpreted if it
is a high or low relationship. Based on the woks of Garret r from ±0.21 to ± 0.40 denotes
low but slight relationship. Therefore, because we r=0.398 or 0.4 we can say that the
there is a low but slight relationship between pre-test and post-test
3. What linear equation best predicts the posttest given the pretest in Math?
___________
a= (10(14768)-348(421))/(10(12770)-(348)^2
a=0.177683445
a= 0.177683445
Notice that it was round up. We must note to our self to find the best linear equation that
describes our pre-test and post-test. So we must be estimate closer as we plug in our
values
𝒀 = ∑ 𝒀/N
Y= 421/10
Y= 42.1
X= ∑ 𝑿/𝑵
X= 348/10
X=34.8
b = 𝑌 − a𝑋
b = 42.1-
b=42.1 - 0.177683445(34.8)
b= 35.91661629
y= 0.177683445x+35.91661629
y= 0.17768344x+35.91661629 the is linear equation best predicts the posttest given the
pretest in Math. It was not round off because we want to estimate the closest value as we
plug in our x.
4. If a student made a pretest score of 43 in Math, what grade would you expect
the posttest score the student will obtain?
y=0.17768344x+35.91661629
f(x)= 0.17768344x+35.91661629
f(43)= 0.17768344(43)+35.91661629
f(43)= 43.55700421
f(43)=44
If a student made a pretest score of 43 in Math the expected estimated post test score
according the calculation is 44

y intercept:
let x=0
y= 0.17768344x+35.91661629
y=0.17768344(0)+35.91661629
y = 35.91661629
Interpretation:
The graph shows the continuous rising of the linear equation as the values
of x increasing. We can also see the scattered points from the graph which indicates the
scores in pretest in the x axis and scores in posttest in y axis. Some of the points were
closer to the line and some of the points is not close to the line. In other words, most of
the students scores higher than the protest than their posttest. Therefore, from data
shown there is a significant difference from the posttest from the pretest. As shown in the
graph as students take their pre-test there is a probability that they will score higher than
their pretest. However, the correlation value of Pearson r as shown from the calculation
is equal to 0.4 which indicates slight relationship. Therefore, even if there is a probability
that students will make a higher score in their posttest than their pre-test, the pre-test and
posttest has a slight relationship.

5. A research study was conducted to examine the differences between older and
younger adults on perceived life satisfaction. A pilot study was conducted to
examine this hypothesis. Ten older adults (over the age of 70) and ten younger
adults (between 20 and 30) were give a life satisfaction test (known to have high
reliability and validity). Scores on the measure range from 0 to 60 with high scores
indicative of high life satisfaction, low scores indicative of low life satisfaction. The
data are presented below. Compute the appropriate t-test.

Conclusion: Since 4.2575 lies in the rejection region we can say that we need to reject
the null hypothesis. Therefore, there is a significant difference between the life
satisfaction of the older adults and younger adults
Null hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the life satisfaction of the the
older adults and younger adults
c. What would be the alternate hypothesis?
I choose a confidence level of 95% meaning I’m 95% confident that if this test were
repeated it has 95% probability that it will yield the same results. So therefore P
value(alpha) that was chosen in this problem is 5% which is equal to 0.05
Based on my calculation I chosen alpha as 0.05 and the calculated df is 18. By using t-
table I located the corresponding value of t crit which is 2.101.
t critical= 2.101
Yes. Since 4.2575 lies in the rejection region we can say that we need to reject the null
hypothesis. Therefore, there is a significant difference between the life satisfaction of the
older adults and younger adults
Based on the table, older adults age from 70 and above were compared to younger
adults age from 20 to 30. The researchers are trying to determine if there is no significant
difference on the life satisfaction of older adults and younger adults. The mean from the
data of older adults is 44.5 while the mean from the data of younger adult is 28.1. Both
categories have the same number of samples n. The variance of older adult is 75.38 and
the younger adult is 72.98. Using 2 sample t-test Assuming for Unequal Variance the
following calculations were conducted. With an 18 df and an alpha of 5 % the t critical
was computed. It shows that the rejection is about 2.101. Based on the calculation the t
computed was 4.2575 using t sample t-test as statistical tool. The t computed was
compared to t critical and shows that t computed is in the rejection region. Since it is in
the rejection region the researcher must reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, there is a
significant difference between the life satisfaction of younger adults and older adults
Let Us Enhance
A researcher hypothesizes that electrical stimulation of the lateral habenula will result in
a decrease in food intake (in this case, chocolate chips) in rats. Rats undergo stereotaxic
surgery and an electrode is implanted in the right lateral habenula. Following a ten-day
recovery period, rats (kept at 80 percent body weight) are tested for the number of
chocolate chips consumed during a 10-minute period both with and without electrical
stimulation. The testing conditions are counter balanced. Compute the appropriate t-test
for the data provided below.

Null hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the test of rats that undergo
stimulation and rats that didn’t undergo stimulation
Alternative hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the test of rats that
undergo stimulation and rats that didn’t undergo stimulation

We can show our degrees of freedom through this equation if it is 2 sample t-test.
Substituting the known values, we get df=or 18.
For convenience I created a legitimate and more easy formula for degrees of freedom in
2 sample t test
df=n1+n2-2
df=10+10-2
df= 18
We can see that we arrive at the same answer from the previous or traditional way formula
to my new formula of degrees of freedom. Therefore, our degrees of freedom is 18.

Conclusion: Since our t computed didn’t lie in the rejection region we can say that we
will not reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, there is no significant difference between the
test of rats that undergo stimulation and rats that didn’t undergo stimulation
a. What is your computed answer?
t=( x1- x2)-/ √ (s1^2/n1) +( s2^2/ n2)
t= (8.6-7.6)/ √ 10.9333333333333/10 + 10.0444444444444/10
t= 0.690430963423743
Our t computed is t=0.6904
Null hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the test of rats that
undergo stimulation and rats that didn’t undergo stimulation
I choose a confidence level of 95% meaning I’m 95% confident that if this test were
repeated it has 95% probability that it will yield the same results. So therefore P
value(alpha) that was chosen in this problem is 5% which is equal to 0.05
For convenience I created a legitimate and more easy formula for degrees of freedom
in 2 sample t test
df=n1+n2-2
df=10+10-2
df= 18
f. Is there a significant difference between the two testing conditions?
Since our t computed didn’t lie in the rejection region we can say that we will not reject
the null hypothesis. Therefore, there is no significant difference between the test of rats
that undergo stimulation and rats that didn’t undergo stimulation
Base in the on the table shown, the food intake of rats was recorded. The subjects
undergo into stimulation and no stimulation. Based on the data, the first group who
undergo stimulation has a mean of 8.6 and a standard deviation of 3.16. The other group
has a mean of 7.6 and standard deviation of 3.30. The mean, variance, and standard
deviation was used to determine whether there is a significant difference between the
group that undergoes simulation and the other group that does not undergo any
stimulation. Degrees of freedom from the calculation was 18 and the probability level of
the experiment is 0.05 meaning there is a 5% chance of error if experiment will be
repeated again. The critical is 2.101 which is the rejection region of test. The t value was
calculated to be 0.6904 and which make the researcher to accept the null hypothesis.
The null hypothesis of the study states that there is no significant difference from the
group. Because the t value didn’t lie in critical region of a two tail two sample t-test the
final conclusion will be there is no significant difference between the test of rats that
undergo stimulation and rats that didn’t undergo stimulation

Let Us Reflect
Task A. Using the space below, write a reflective essay about your learning experience
on using statistical techniques in data analysis. Let your essay reveal how much you
learned about each concept behind each topic dealt with in this lesson. Express which
concepts are the most understood, slightly understood, and the least understood ones.
Data Analysis and Statistical Technique
(Reflective Essay)
Upon learning and answering the module I encounter hard activities that I didn’t
encounter before such as the ANOVA with only given mean and standard deviation. It is
a hard part for me especially finding the values of my degrees of freedom for my f ratio. I
cannot guarantee that all my calculation is correct but what I can guarantee to myself that
I learn something new about statistics. The slightly understood topic I encounter this
module is T-test. What makes it slightly understood is that you need first to determine if it
is dependent, independent, equal variance, unequal variance, paired, or unpaired.
Therefore, t-test is not just actually calculating by just following the formula but its also
about appropriateness of the calculation. The least topic I understood in this module is
finding the means and standard deviation of a Linkert Scale Data. I encountered an
activity where Linkert Scale was used as a research instrument. It was hard for me
because from what I know in my high school we cannot use the Linkert scale to measure
the central tendency. I was taught to analyze this type of scale to measure response in
mean, median, and mode. Thankfully, I understand how to calculate it Over in all, this
module taught me data analyzing, summarizing, and interpreting. This module taught me
also the importance of statistical test, the usage of statistical test, and performing a
statistical test.
