2. Where can you get your data for Numeracy
Program?
•Numeracy Test
•Summative test
•Diagnostic Test
•Formative Test
3. What is the importance of gathering data?
•Accurate data collection is necessary to
make informed decisions, ensure quality
assurance, and keep research integrity.
During data collection, the researchers
must identify the data types, the sources
of data, and what methods are being used.
4. What is the main purpose of data collection?
•The main purpose of data collection is to
gather information in a measured and
systematic manner to ensure accuracy and
facilitate data analysis. Since the data
collected is meant to provide content for
data analysis, the information gathered
must be of the highest quality for it to be
of value.
5. What are the advantages of gathering data
after setting of objectives or goals?
•When data is gathered, tracked and
analyzed in a credible way over time, it
becomes possible to measure progress and
success (or lack of it). Budgets, policies,
practices, processes, programming,
services and interventions can then be
evaluated, modified and improved.
6. How important to gather data from the
respondents?
•A researcher can evaluate their hypothesis on
the basis of collected data. In most cases,
data collection is the primary and most
important step for research, irrespective of
the field of research. The approach of data
collection is different for different fields of
study, depending on the required information.
7. What are the tools to interpret the data?
•MPS
•T-test
8. What does the t-test value mean?
•A t-test is an inferential statistic used to
determine if there is a significant difference
between the means of two groups and how
they are related. T-tests are used when the
data sets follow a normal distribution and
have unknown variances, like the data set
recorded from flipping a coin 100 times.
9. When should you use t-test?
• What are the 3 types of t-tests when do you use each
one?
• If you are studying one group, use a paired t-test to
compare the group mean over time or after an
intervention, or use a one-sample t-test to compare the
group mean to a standard value.
• If you are studying two groups, use a two-sample t-test.
If you want to know only whether a difference exists, use
a two-tailed test.
