Hypothesis Testing
A. Ho: There is no significant difference between pre-test and post-test mean scores in the
control group.
Ha: There is significant difference between pre-test and post-test mean scores in the control
group.
B. Level of significance
= .05
C. Type of Test
Two-tailed test
D. Critical value at .05 level of significance with df = n 1 = 11
Critical value = 2.201
E. Computed Value
t=

3.10
12(2.199) (3.10) 2
11

t = 2.510
F. Decision
Since the computed value of 2.510 is greater than the critical value of 2.201at df = 11,
the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference is rejected.
G. Conclusion
There is significant difference between pre-test and post-test mean scores in the control
group.
2. Trainees in a company are pair in terms of age, experience and educational background. One
member of each pair is trained using Method A and other member using Method B. At the
end of the training course, a proficiency test was administered. The data are tabulated below.

F. Decision
Since the absolute computed value of -0.039 i s lesser than the critical value of 2.201at
df = 10, the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference is accepted.
G. Conclusion
There is no significant difference between Method A and Method B on the mean scores
of proficiency test after the training course.
