    1. The sign test was used to compare pre-test and post-test scores from a nutrition education session for 10 women. 2. It focuses on the direction of differences (+/- or no difference), not the value. 3. The results showed 5 positive differences and 3 negative differences, with a probability value of 0.2188. This exceeds the significance level of 0.05, so the null hypothesis of no difference between pre-test and post-test scores was retained.

    The sign test

    Dian L Sufyan
    Introduction

    One day HIMAGI held Gizi Peduli Sosial (GPS). The event focused on
    giving nutrition education to Women of Reproductive Age (WRA).
    Before the education session begin, the committee giving pre-test
    to the WRA, and so af ter the education. Finally, you compare the
    two scores of knowledges (pretest & post test) to see if there is any
    diff erence between them.

    - Related, paired

    - Each women tested twice

    - Each score in pretest group has its counterpar t on post test group
    The sign test

    - Is a non parametric test for comparing 2 samples that are


    paired or related

    - Equivalent to Student’s t-test in parametric or t-test for


    dependent samples

    - The focus of this test was on its diff erence’s direction (+/- or
    no diff erence), not the value of the diff erence

    - Case with no diff erence are ignored


    Steps on conducting the sign test

    - State the hypothesis (H0 and H1)

    - Defi ne the  = 0.05

    - Compute the Probability by defi ning n, x (the sign with fewest


    number) and p for binomial distribution (0.5), you may check
    the binomial distribution table

    - Inference  Retain H0 if  < Probability, Reject H0 if  >


    Probability

    - Conclusion  no diff erence or there is diff erence?

    Practice

    - Hypothesis  Ho: no diff erence, H1: there is diff erence

    -  = 0.05

    - Compute the test  n = 8, x = jumlah tanda terkecil (x=3),


    p=0.5, Maka P(3)=0.2188

    - Inference  Retain H0 if  < Probability, Reject H0 if  >


    Probability, so in this case we retain H0 because 0.05<0.2188

    - Conclusion  no diff erence between pretest and post test af ter
