The project analyzes the average number of senior high school students across three strands: HUMSS, STEM, and ABM, using ANOVA to test if their enrollment numbers are statistically equal. The results indicate that at least one strand's enrollment is significantly different, particularly showing that STEM has a notably higher number of students compared to ABM and HUMSS. Recommendations include adjusting budget allocations and planning based on these findings.

STATISTICS PROJECT:

INTRODUCTION

My topic is the average numbers of senior high school students from other schools based on their
strand. I will be collecting the number of enrolled students in each of three strands namely HUMSS,
STEM and ABM from three random schools that offers all three. I will then use the ANOVA method in
order to determine whether the number of senior high school students is equal for each strand. Finding
out the statistics of the amount of students going to each strand will help the schools determine the
right amount of budget allotment, prepare them well for activities and the accommodation of students
from particular strands.

HYPOTHESIS

With the ANOVA method, the null hypothesis assumes that the population means are equal.

Therefore, H0: µ1 = µ 2 = µ 3 or that the number of senior high school students is equal for each strand.

And Ha: At least one strand’s number of senior high school students is not statistically equal.

DATA ANALYSIS

Table ANOVA.1

STEM ABM HUMSS


643 469 484
655 427 456
702 525 402
X 666.67 473.67 447.33
s 31.18 49.17 41.68

The data gathered was mostly uniform with no significant differences in the numbers. However, there is
a 300 number gap between the highest number of students and the lowest number of students. At first
glance, STEM students seem to be number more than their HUMSS and ABM counterparts. The data
gathered is weak however, in that it does not totally reflect the actual scenario of the random schools
that were chosen. Some schools may simply have bad publicity or be located in remote areas resulting
to a generally lower number of students. However, I have made sure that all of the schools I’ve chosen
are private schools within the same municipality, and are all that of 12 th Grade enrollees. Of course, this
does not take into account other factors such as the tuition fee of the school, the facilities, etc.

ANOVA TEST

Step 1. Hypothesis Testing


With the ANOVA method, the null hypothesis assumes that the population means are equal.

Therefore, H0: µ1 = µ 2 = µ 3 or that the number of senior high school students is equal for each strand.

And Ha: At least one strand’s number of senior high school students is not statistically equal.

Step 2: State Alpha

α = 5%

Step 3: State Degrees of Freedom

df(between) = 3 - 1 = 2

df(within) = 9 - 3 = 6

df(total) = 9 – 1 = 8

Step 4: State Decision Rule

We need to find critical value at (2,6) corresponding to α = 5%. Using the F tables, we determine that the
critical value (2,6) = 5.14, therefore, if the observed value is greater than 5.14, we reject the null
hypothesis.

Step 5: Calculate Test Statistic

SST = (643 - 529.22)^2 (655 - 529.22)^2 (702 - 529.22)^2 (469 - 529.22)^2 ... (402 - 529.22)^2 = 96303.55
MST = 96303.55 / (9 - 1) = 12037.94

SSTR = [3 * (666.67 - 529.22)^2 ] + [3 * (473.67 - 529.22)^2 ] + [3 * (447.33 - 529.22)^2 ] = 86049.55


MSTR = 86049.55 / (3 - 1) = 43024.78

SSE=[(643 − 666.67)^2 + (655 − 666.67)^2 + (702 − 666.67)^2 ] + [(469 - 473.67)^2 + (427 - 473.67)^2 +
(525 - 473.67)^2 ] + [(484 - 447.33)^2 + (456 - 447.33)^2 + (402 - 447.33)^2 ] = 10254.
MSE = 10254 / (9 - 3) = 1709

F = MSTR / MSE
= 43024.78 / 1709
= 25.17

STEP 6: STATE RESULTS

If the observed value (F) is greater than 5.14, we reject the null hypothesis.

F = 25.17
Therefore, we reject the Null Hypothesis.

Step 7: Interpretation

Because the observed value was greater than the critical value, this means it can be interpreted that
there is a 95% assurance that at least one strand’s number of senior high school students was not
statistically equal.

CONCLUSION

The ANOVA test was used to determine whether the number of students of three strands from
randomly selected three schools were statistically equal. The study found that this null hypothesis of the
numbers being statistically equal was wrong. This meant that there is at least one strand whose mean is
statistically different from the others.

However, the ANOVA test only serves to show whether there is a significant statistical difference
between the groups, but does not identify which group/s are significantly different from the other. In
order to find this distinction, further testing may be done, such as that of the LEAST SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE.

Doing the further tests produce the below results:

LSD = 82.61

STEM vs ABM = |666.67 − 473.67| = 193


= (193 > 82.61) There is a significant difference between the number of STEM and AMB students

ABM vs HUMSS = | 473.67 − 447.33| = 26.34


= (26.34 < 82.61) There is no significant difference between the number of ABM and HUMSS
students

STEM vs HUMSS = | 666.67 - 447.33| = 219.34


= (219.34 > 82.61) There is a significant difference between the number of STEM and HUMSS
students.

From these further results, we can see that there are at least two significant differences, in the relation
of the STEM strand against the other two. From this, the statistics show that the number of students of
the STEM strand are not statistically equal than with the other two, and it may be recommended to
them to adjust their allocation of budgets, activity planning and facility allocation based on what these
numbers suggest.
