I think, therefore I exist

- Rene Descartes
Research is a process by which
people discover or create new
knowledge about the world in
which they live.
A systematic study or
investigation of something for
the purpose of answering
questions or solving problems for
the improvement of life.
It enables the students to incorporate
and apply scientific concepts learned in
school to real - life scenario.
It provides activities wherein the
students probe areas that, for them,
contain unknowns.
It promotes the development of
valuable skills and attitudes in students
that characterize the research work of
scientists.

Is my study relevant? Does it make sense?
Is there another way of preparing the
samples?
Is the method I used appropriate for my
study?
What other variables could possibly affect
the dependent variable? What will I do to
eliminate or minimize their effects?
What could be the possible reason if the

Quantitative Data Analysis and
Results
1. Scoring the data
2. Preparing the data for analysis
3. Analyzing the data to answer
descriptive research questions
4. Analyzing the data to test

hypotheses
5. Reporting the results of the
data analysis
Statistical tools that help researchers
summarize the overall tendencies in
the data, provide an assessment of
how varied the values are, and
provide insight into where one value
stands compared with others
They are useful for describing three
main ideas:
Central tendency

Variability

Relative standing
Central
tendency: single numbers that
summarize a collection of scores
Mean (M): the average value; that
is, the total of n set divided by the
number of n.
Mode: the value that occurs most
frequently in a list of scores.
Median: The middle value in a
given data set
Variability: numbers that indicate
the spread of data collected for a
variable
Range: the difference between
the highest and lowest values for
a variable
Standard deviation (SD): a
measure of how dispersed the
data are about the mean value for
a variable
-4 -3 -2 -1 +0 +1 +2 +3 +4

Standard Deviations
Relative standing: are numbers that describe
one score relative to a group of scores
Percentile rank (%): the percentage of
participants in the distribution with scores at
or below a particular score
Example: The mean height of plants in set-up X is 60th
percentile of the plants at that given maturity level
Z score: an original score converted into a
relative score measured in units of standard
deviations
Example: Plant is A is tall; z score of 2.8.
Plant B is average; z score of 0.1.
Plant C is very short; z score of -3.3.
Inferential statistics:
Statistical tools that help researchers compare
groups or relate variables and infer results
from a sample to a population.
Used with the process of hypothesis testing
Hypothesis testing:
a procedure that researchers use to make
decisions about quantitative results by
comparing an observed value of a sample with
a population value to determine whether a
difference or relationship exists in the
population.
Theconcept of sameness or equality
in mathematics and statistics are quite
COMMON QUESTIONS
Is there a difference?
Is there a relationship?
Is there an effect?
The researcher states the purpose, research questions, and/or
hypotheses

The researcher collects data for each variable

The researcher scores the data

The researcher prepares the data for analysis

The researcher analyzes the data to answer descriptive research


questions

The researcher analyzes the data to answer

Introducing ALPHA () :D

What does the value of alpha indicate then???


The p-value
Alpha level ():
the maximum risk that researchers are willing
to take during hypothesis testing that they
make a mistake when they conclude that they
have sufficient evidence that there is a
difference between groups or a relationship
between variables in the population.
In most research, =.05 (5% chance of wrongly
finding a significant result)
p value (p):
the probability that an inferential statistical
result could have been produced by chance if
the null hypothesis were true for the
population.
Statistically significant result
p : "Reject" the null hypothesis
Conclude there is a difference among groups or
there is a relationship among the variables
Non-significant result
P > : "Fail to reject" the null hypothesis
Conclude there is no difference among the
groups or there is no relationship among the
variables
Effect size
A measure of the practical strength of a
statistically significant result
Effects are small, moderate, or large
t test (t): Used to test for a difference
between two groups on one dependent
variable
ANOVA (F): Used to test for a difference
among more than two groups on one
dependent variable
Pearson correlation coefficient (r): Used to
test for a relationship between two variables

Statement of the Problem
This investigation aims to determine the
effectiveness of banana sap as raw material for
quality injectable ink of computer printers.
Specifically, the study aims to answer the
following questions:
1. Does banana sap contains property needed for the
preparation of quality injectable ink for computer
printers?
2. How much time is needed in the preparation of quality
injectable ink for computers printer?
3. To what particular type of printer can the ink be used?
4. Could it be a good source of inexpensive quality
injectible ink?
This study was conducted to perform histochemical
tests in Drynaria quercifolia and to determine its
efficacy as an antibacterial plant. Specifically, it
aimed to
a. determine the active component and its distribution in
the tissues of the rhizome and pinna using histochemical
test

b. determine the efficacy of fresh extracts from the


rhizomes and pinna as an antibacterial; and

c. identify and recommend the appropriate dosage and


which plant parts of fresh D. quercifolia have medicinal
use.
