Statistical Treatment

The Statistical Treatment that will be used is Independent T-TEST. As soon as the researchers collect

the data, it will be assembled and sorted, organized and tallied. These data will undergo statistical

analysis to answer the study's questions. The computed value of T will be compared to the critical

value chart to check if the null hypothesis is accepted or rejected.

Null Hypothesis (Ho): There is no significant difference in the average accuracy of giving directions

with the VisualBot compared to the apps that provides directions.

Null Hypothesis (Ho): There is no significant difference in the average accuracy of identifying

roadblocks with the VisualBot compared to white canes.
