WS4 T-Test of Two Independent Samples
Step 2. State the null hypothesis (Ho) and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)
Ho: There is no significant mean difference between the pretest scores of the
control and experimental group (𝑥̅1 = 𝑥̅ 2 ).
Ha: Assignment
The test statistic to be used is t-test for two ________ samples and the
level of significance is at 0.05.
Step 4. Compute the Test Statistic using Excel.
Control Experimental
Mean 24.83 25.10
Variance 32.63 34.78
Observations 30.00 30.00
Pooled Variance 33.70
Hypothesized Mean Difference 0.00
Df 58.00
t Stat -0.18
P(T<=t) one-tail 0.43
t Critical one-tail 1.67
P(T<=t) two-tail 0.86
t Critical two-tail 2.00
Step 5. State the findings using the P-value and make a decision whether
to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis (Ho). Reject Ho if the p-
value is less than or equal to the level of significance ().
