PARAMETRIC TEST
Parametric test are test that require normal
distribution the levels of measurement of which
are expressed in an interval or ratio data. It is
more powerful than nonparametric test.
Used when the distribution is normal.
NON-PARAMETRIC
• CHI-SQUARE
• SPEARMAN RHO
TEST
CONCERNING
MEANS
The t-test
T-distribution or Student-Fisher Distribution
When the value of the population variance or population
standard deviation is not known
the sample size is small, assume again that the population
being sampled from has roughly the shape of a normal
distribution. With this condition, the decision shall be
based on the test statistic called the t-distribution or
Student-Fisher Distribution.
The following conditions should be met before the t-test is used:
t=
where:
, –sample means
n1 , n2 – sample sizes
, – sample standard deviation.
Example 1 :
Male (x1 ) Female (x2 )
14 12
The following are the scores of 18 9
10 male and 10 female AB 17 11
students in spelling. Test the null 16 5
hypothesis that there is no 4 10
significant difference between the 14 3
12 7
performance of male and female
10 2
AB students in the test. Use the
9 6
0.05 level of significance. 17 13
STEPWISE METHOD:
1. Problem
2. Hypotheses
3. Level of Significance
4. Test Statistic
5. Tabular Presentation
6. Decision and Conclusion
Solving by the Stepwise Method
I. Problem:
= 0.05
Degrees of freedom:
df = n1 + n2 -2
= 10 + 10 – 2
= 18
Critical value = 2.101
IV. Test Statistic:
t- test for two independent samples
Decision Rule :

Female
VI. Decision and conclusion
= 0.05
Degrees of freedom:
df = n – 1
=20-1
= 19
Critical value = 2.093
