RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN
The researchers used quantitative research as the research method for the
conducted study. The sampling method used by the researchers is a quota sampling in
order to distinguish the cause-effect relationship of caffeine intake and the numerical
reasoning of grade 10 students of Sta. Elena High School. Test questionnaires were used
by the researchers for the data gathering procedure. Statistical treatment was then applied
intake and numerical reasoning of grade 10 students of Sta. Elena High School.
The researchers used quota sampling technique. The researchers’ respondents are
the Grade 10 STE students of Sta. Elena High School, this helped the researchers manage
their population within the allotted time frame. The budget of the researchers was also a
factor for picking quota sampling. Slovin’s formula was used to get the sample used with

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

STA. ELENA HIGH SCHOOL
The researchers used 10 item test questionnaires to gather imperative data that
was then used to conclude if there was a cause-effect relationship between caffeine intake
and the numerical reasoning of grade 10 students of Sta. Elena High School.
The researchers randomly chose 10 students from the 2 sections of grade 10 STE
(Science, Technology, and Engineering) in order to conduct the various tests. The tests
were then given to the respondents and the data given to the researchers were then
To interpret the data gathered from the test questionnaires, the researchers will
apply the various statistical treatments to interpret the data effectively. z-Test, Pearson-r
Correlation are some of the statistical treatment the researchers deemed useful in
1. z -Test
2. Pearson-r Correlation
3. One-way ANOVA

This statistical treatment is used to determine if there are any statistically
(unrelated) groups which is the batch with caffeine and batch without
caffeine.
