Question: Is there a relationship between a student's school location and the student's mathematical proficiency?
Hypotheses
H0: School Location does not affect Students Mathematical Self Efficacy
H1: At Least One Location Affects Students Mathematical Self Efficacy.
From the ANOVA Output we observe that (F (3, 4669)= 1.271, p = 0.282). Because the P-Value was higher than the alpha value of 0.05, the null hypothesis is accepted, and I conclude that school location does not affect a student's Mathematics Self Efficacy . In the 2nd table, I performed a Tukey post-hoc test to determine the size of the effect. The table, Multiple Comparisons, shows which groups differ from each other. The Tukey post-hoc test is usually the preferred test for conducting a post-hoc test with a one-way ANOVA (Wagner, 2020). The table reveals that there is not a significant difference in Mathematics Self Efficacy between the location groups in the city and the town (p = .427), as well as between the city and the rural setting (p = .820) and city and suburb (p = .995). Continuing to the Suburbs, there is not a significant difference between suburb and town (p = .302) and suburb and rural (p = .664). Finally, no statistical meaningfulness showed up between town and rural (p = .857). Table 3 shows that the significance value is .227 which is greater than .05 for all the three cases so therefore we can say that there is no such relationship between students location and mathematical self efficacy.
Is this a good summary for the above tables? Does this make sense?
