Methodological Design Population (UEE la Dolorosa High School) 373 Students4 English Teachers 190 Students 4 English Teachers SIMPLE RAMDOM SAMPLE N= population z= Confidence 95%= 1,96 o= 0,5 standard deviation e= 0,05 sample error Authorities Principal Vice principal Authorities Principal Vice principal

The steps of chi-square test : Write the observed frequencies in column O Figure the expected frequencies and write them in column E. Use the formula to find the chi-square value:

X² = (O - E)² E O Observed Frequency in each category E Expected Frequency in each category df is the "degree of freedom" (n-1) X² is Chi Square The critical value is 226,413.Chi square= 2383, 29 Chi-square is larger than the critical value, therefore the Null Hypothesis is rejected. The steps of chi-square test : Find the df. (N-1) Find the table value (consult the Chi Square Table.) If the chi-square value is equal to or greater than the table value, reject the null hypothesis.
