hypotheses be stated?

performance and their profile. The results indicated that parents’ highest educational attainment has a
computed probability value of (p = 0.00015) at 0.05 level of significance. What does this finding mean and
what does it imply?
5. Lea Angelica performed an experiment to test the hypothesis that “there is no relationship between socio-
demographic profile and academic performance of the learners”. By random procedures she selected 25
students in each of the two sections of grade 9. She tested her hypothesis using correlation statistics at 0.05
