INSTRUCTION: Analyze the data and interpret the results.

1. Is there a significant difference in the level satisfaction of students in school services

when grouped according to sex?

Note: In satisfaction variable, the higher the score the more the students are satisfied
with school services

Answer:

INTERPRETATION:

The table shows the level of satisfaction in school services between male
and female students. It shows that male has a mean of 19.5000 while female has a
35.2000 over-all mean. This means that female students has a high level of satisfaction
compare to male students in school services. It also shows that the P value of .006 is
less than 0.05, therefore, there is a significant difference in the level satisfaction of the
students in school services when grouped according to sex.

2. The data correspond to an experiment where four (4) new soap formulas (T1 to T4)
were each tested on different subjects in order to measure their effect on the whiteness
of skin. The higher the score, the whiter is the result. All subjects who volunteered had
previously used the same soap. Compare the effectiveness of the new soap formulas
by using appropriate statistical tool. Assume that the data is normal.

INTERPRETATION:

The table shows that the formula of soap T3 has the highest mean score of
28.1667 among the new soaps formula. This means that T3 soap formula has the
highest level of effectiveness in terms of whiteness. Furthermore, the P value of .001 is
less than 0.05, therefore there is a significant difference in the effectiveness of the
soaps when grouped according to whiteness.

*The result revealed that there is a significant difference on the level of anxiety
when grouped according to socio-economic status, therefore Post Hoc Test
is necessary.

*. The mean difference is significant at the 0.05 level.

INTERPRETATION:

The first P value is .416 which is greater than 0.05, therefore there is no
significant difference on the effectiveness of whiteness between T1 and T2 soap
formulas. T1 and T3 soap formulas have a significant difference because it has a P
value of .000 however, T1 and T4 also have a significant difference because it has a P
value of .013 which is less than 0.05.
T2 and T3 has a P value of .001 showing a significant difference between the two soap
formulas while T2 and T4 have no significant difference because it shows a P value
of .071.
Lastly, T3 and T4 soap formulas have no significant difference showing a P value
of .083 which is greater than 0.05.
3. A research was conducted to determine the level of satisfaction of students in school
services. The satisfaction survey is measured using a 5-point Likert scale from 5-
Strongly Agree to 1-Strongly Disagree.

Valid N (listwise) 33

INTERPRETATION:

The table shows that there two highest mean, and these variables are “Staffs’ are
willing to explain questions appropriately about any procedure” and “The staffs
provide prompt services when I need them” which has a mean value of 4.3636; the
lowest variable is on “Students are treated well” which has a mean value of 4.3030.
The over- all mean rating is 4.3434.
 c. Is there a significant relationship between age and satisfaction of students?

Answer:

**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

INTERPRETATION:
The result reveals that there is significant relationship between age and
satisfaction of students with Pearson correlation of .608 thus it indicates that is directly
proportional, while the P-value is .000 which is below 0.05 that’s why there is a
significant relationship between the two variables.
