Analysis

The independent-samples t-test (or independent t-test, for short) compares the
means between two unrelated groups on the same continuous, dependent variable.

For example the case we discussed in class was related to average salaries of
private and the public sector. Now in this research problem the null hypothesis
would be the average salaries of private sector faculty members to be equal to
average salaries of public sector faculty members. And the alternative hypothesis
would be that the average salaries of private sector faculty members differ from the
average salaries of public sector faculty members. Where we define the null
hypothesis by

So, after we use the SPSS to find out the figures applying the p test. The
significance level of two tailed turns out to be 0.459, which when we observe says
that to when calculated sig level greater than 5 % reject the alternative hypothesis
and accept the alternative. Hence we could conclude that at 5% level of
significance, the data does not provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the
difference between the average salaries of faculty members from both sectors exist.

The next test conducted is the Paired sample t test where we have one variable but
it leads to two effects. So in this case management has noticed that these 20
individuals who are under performers. Management decides a training program, so
that they become productive again. . For instance, a firm would like to know
whether the training program has will improve capacity of employees or not.
Hence, the alternative hypothesis would be that the training program will improve
capacity of employees and the null hypothesis would be that the training program
did not affect the capacity of employees.

Performance has been noted and according to the output viewer, the sig. (two-
tailed) is 0.013 is less than the level of significance of 0.05 , this shows that the
null hypothesis will be accepted which infers that training program will improve
the performance.
Then the next in line is the is the t testing where the null hypothesis gets rejected if
the calculated t value is greater than the tabulated t value.

T(table) from public institute type=X-uo /s/n^0.5

=34.15-40/22.874/50^0.5
=-4.822
So this value states that it is lesser than the tabulated t value hence the null
hypothesis is accepted.

One-way ANOVA concerns the analysis of variance for more than two populations
in which the f-test will be used where F is ratio of chi-square distribution being
function of sample variance and population variance

Ho= u1 =u2 =u3 =U4

F test is used that is the ratio of chi square distribution with their respective degrees
of freedom

So when we compare F with the critical value of the table, the general rule states
that if f is less than 5 %. In our calculations

FINV (0.05,3) = 3.23

We reject the Ho in this case.
