1. The following are the scores in Statistics in Research (RS 299a) and Research
Methodology (RS 299b) of 15 Master of Public Administration students of a
certain college. Determine the degree of relationship existing between the two
variables and test the significance of the relationship .

1. Ho: There is no a significant relationship between the scores of 15 Master of

Public Administration students from a certain college in Statistics in Research
(RS 299a) and Research Methodology (RS 299b).
2. Test Statistic: t-test for the significance of r
3. Critical value of t using a two-tailed test at 0.05 level is 2.160 (df = 15-2 = 13)
4. Computation:

5. Decision: Reject HO since 5.17 is greater than 2.160

Conclusion: Therefore, there is a significant relationship between the scores of

15 Master of Public Administration students from a certain college in Statistics in
Research (RS 299a) and Research Methodology (RS 299b).

3. Responses of 100 individuals to items in an attitudinal scale. Determine whether sex

is significantly related to their opinion.

SEX OPINION TOTAL

MALE 30 20 50
FEMALE 10 40 50
TOTAL 40 60 100

Solution:

1. Ho: There is no significant relationship between their opinion.

Ha: There is a significant relationship between their opinion.
2. Test Statistic: X^2 = Nⱷ^2; Z = ⱷ√n
3. Critical value of Chi-squared test at 0.05 level is 3.841 (df = (2-1)(2-1) = 1)

5. Decision: X^2: Reject HO since 16.81 is greater than 3.841

Z: Reject HO since 4.1 is greater than 1.96

Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between their opinion
