Answer 1

a) The alternate hypothesis for the study is:

H1: There is a significant difference between mean grade of male and female students.

b) The null hypothesis is:    

H0: There is no significant difference between mean grade of male and female students.

c) The Level of Significance is 0.05

                                              

d) The computed t critical value for the study is 0.632                          

                               

e) The P-value of the test is 0.531                 

               

f) Conclusion: The p-value of t test is greater than 0.05. Hence we accept null hypothesis at 5% level of significance and conclude that there is no significant difference between mean grade of male and female students
