PARAMETRIC

TEST

WHAT ARE THE PARAMETRIC TEST?

The parametric test are test applied to data that are


normally distributed, the levels of measurement of
which are expressed in interval and ratio. The
parametric tests are:
t-test

for independent Samples


t-test for Correlated Samples
z-test for two Sample Means
z-test for One Sample Group
F-test (ANOVA)
r (Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation
y=a+bx (Simple Linear Regression Analysis)
y=b0+b1x1+b2x2+.. +bnxn (Multiple Regression Analysis)

WHEN DO WE USE PARAMETRIC TEST?


We use parametric test when:
The distribution is normal, that is when
skewness is equal to zero and kurtosis
equals .265.

The level of measurement to be analyzed


are expressed in interval ratio data.

WHY DO WE USE PARAMETRIC TEST?


They are more powerful compared to the
nonparametric test.

What is the t-test for independent


samples?

The t-test is a test of difference between two


independent
groups.
This
means
are
compared X1 against the X2.

WHEN DO WE USE THE T-TEST FOR INDEPENDENT SAMPLES?

When we compare the means of two


independent groups.
When the data are normally distributed,
Sk=0 and Ku=.265.
When data are expressed in interval and
ratio.
When the sample is less than 30.

WHY DO WE USE THE T-TEST FOR INDEPENDENT SAMPLES?

Because it is more powerful test compared with other test of


difference of two independent groups.

How do we use the ttest for independent


samples?
Use the formula:

EXAMPLE 1
The following are the scores in spelling of 10 male and 10 female AB students. Test
the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the performance of
male and female AB students in spelling. Use the t-test at .05 level of significance.
Male (X1) Female (X2)
14 12
18 9
17 11
16 5
4 10
14 3
12 7
10 2
9 6
17 13

WHAT IS THE T-TEST FOR CORRELATED SAMPLES?


The t-test for correlated samples is another parametric test
applied to one group of samples. It can be used in the
evaluation of a certain program or treatment. Since this is
another parametric test, conditions must met like the normal
distribution and the use of interval or ratio data.
WHEN DO WE USE THE T-TEST FOR CORRELATED SAMPLES?

The test for correlated samples is applied when the mean before
and the mean after are being compared. The pretest (mean
before) is measured, the treatment of the intervention is applied
and then the posttest (mean after) is likewise measured. Then
the two means (pretest vs. posttest) are compared.

WHY DO WE USE THE T-TEST FOR


CORRELATED SAMPLES?

The test for correlated samples is used to find out if a


difference exist between the before and after means.
If there is a difference in favor of the posttest then the
treatment or intervention is effective. However, if
there is no significant difference then the treatment is
not effective.
This is an appropriate test for the evaluation of
government programs. This is used in an experimental
design to test the effectiveness of a certain technique
or method or program that had been developed.

SOLVING BY THE STEPWISE METHOD


I.

II.

Problem:
is there a significant difference between
the students pretest and the posttest
score on the use of programmed
materials in English?
Hypothesis: H0 there is no significant difference between
the pretest and the posttest, or the use of
programmed materials did not affect the
students performance in English.
H1 the posttestresult is higher than the

pretest result

Level of Significance:
a = .05
df = n-1
= 20-1
= 19
t.05 = -1.729
IV. Statistics:
t-test for correlated samples
V. Decision Rule:
if the computed value is greater than or
beyond the critical value disconfirm H0.
VI. Conclusion:
the t-computed value of -3.17 is beyond the t-critical
value of -1.73 at
.05 level of significance with 19 degrees of
freedom. The null
hypothesis is therefore disconfirmed in favor
of the research
hypothesis. This means that the posttest result
is higher than the
pretest result. It implies that the use of tha
programmed materials in
English is effective.

WHAT IS THE F-TEST?

The f-test is another parametric test used to compare


the means of two or more groups of independent
samples. It is also known as the analysis of variance
(ANOVA)

Three kinds of ANOVA are:


One-way analysis of variance
Two-way analysis of variance
Three-way analysis of variance

The f-test is the analysis of variance (ANOVA). This is used in


comparing the means of two or more independent groups.
One-way ANOVA is used when there is only one variable
involved. The two-way ANOVA is used when two variables are
involved: the column and the row variables. The researcher
is interested to know if there are significant differences
between and among columns and rows. This is also used in
looking at the interaction effect between the variables being
analyzed.

Like the t-test, the f-test is also a parametric test which has
to meet some conditions, and the data to be analyzed if they
are normal are expressed in interval or ratio data. This test is
more efficient than other test of difference.

WHY DO WE USE THE F-TEST?

Because we want to find out if there is a significant


difference between and among the means of the two or
more independent groups.

WHEN DO WE USE THE F-TEST?

We use the F-test when there is normal distribution and


when the level of measurement is expressed in interval
or rtio data jst like the t-test and the z-test.

WSS is the within sum of squares or it is


the difference between TSS minus BSS.

After getting the TSS, BSS and WSS, the


ANOVA table should be contructed.
