Activity 5 Stat

1. The document presents the results of a t-test comparing learning outcomes between two groups that took an intensive summer Spanish course. 2. The null hypothesis is that there is no significant difference in learning outcomes between a group from an urban area where Spanish is frequently spoken and a group from a suburban area. 3. The t-test results show a p-value of 0.155, which is greater than 0.05, so the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis - there is a significant difference in learning outcomes between the two groups.

B. Q-Q Plot: Assessing Normality of Data

Figure 1. Normal Quartile Plot of Before

1. Normal Quartile plot


- As reflected in figure 1, the variable is distributed normally
because of its ascending pattern. It is also sought that the scale of
5.038 is greater that the level of significance of 0.05, therefore it can
be deduce that the variables were distributed normally.
SELECTING THE GROUP CASE

2. Conclusion for the Group=1

Figure 2. Normal Q-Q Plot of Group

- Figure 1 shows that the social worker who followed an intensive


summer course in Spanish are consistent in taking the course
through the result of ascending pattern of the Q-Q plot. Therefore it
can be concluded that whether it came from different areas,
consistency of Spanish course is continuously happened during the
summer Spanish class. It also shows that the data is normally
distributed.
D. TESTING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO INDEPENDENT GROUPS
USING T-TEST

3. Research Question
a. What is the demographic profile of the respondents?
b. Is there a significant difference between the group who came
from the urban area where Spanish is frequently spoken and the group
from suburban area in learning Spanish through an intensive summer
course?

4. Null Hypothesis
- There is no significant difference between the group who came
from the urban area where Spanish is frequently spoken and the
group from suburban area in learning Spanish through an intensive
summer course

5. Alternative Hypothesis
- There is a significant difference between the group who came
from the urban area where Spanish is frequently spoken and the
group from suburban area in learning Spanish through an intensive
summer course
6. Your data must meet the following requirements:
a. Dependent variable that is continuous (i.e., interval or ratio level)
b. Independent variable that is categorical (i.e., two or more groups)
c. Cases that have values on both the dependent and independent
variables
d. Independent samples/groups (i.e., independence of observations)
 There is no relationship between the subjects in each sample.
This means that:
 Subjects in the first group cannot also be in the second
group
 No subject in either group can influence subjects in the
other group
 No group can influence the other group
 Violation of this assumption will yield an inaccurate p value
e. Random sample of data from the population
f. Normal distribution (approximately) of the dependent variable for each
group
1. Non-normal population distributions, especially those that are
thick-tailed or heavily skewed, considerably reduce the power of the
test
2. Among moderate or large samples, a violation of normality may
still yield accurate p values

7. Standard Deviation
Table 1. Group Statistics
Group Statistics

Group N Mean Std. Deviation Std. Error Mean

1 10 26.20 5.978 1.890


Before
2 10 28.40 3.893 1.231

- Table 1 shows the group statistics of the study. Group 1 standard


deviation is 5.978 and group 2 is 3.893. The standard deviation of
the two groups is quite different.

8. Level of Significance

Table 2. Level of significance


Independent Samples Test

Levene's Test for Equality of Variances t-test for Equality of Means

F Sig. t df

Equal variances assumed 2.201 .155 -.975 18


Before
Equal variances not assumed -.975 15.470

- The findings revealed the significant value of 0.155 which is


greater than 0.05 level of significance. Therefore it can be deduced
that the a null hypothesis must be rejected and accept the
alternative hypothesis. Therefore it can be deduced that there is a
significant difference between the group who came from the urban
area where Spanish is frequently spoken and the group from
suburban area in learning Spanish through an intensive summer
course

9. 0.155 is the values of t-statistics


10. 2.201 is the p-value
11. Yes, there is a significant difference between the group who came
from the urban area where Spanish is frequently spoken and the group from
suburban area in learning Spanish through an intensive summer course
12. Yes, there is a difference between my conclusion and the case when
homogeneity is present.

14-18. Using the improvement, it shows that there is a huge change in the result of
the data gathered. The level of significance reach to its optimum solution of
identifying that there is a significant difference between two groups because of given
data.
