CHAPTER IV RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION
4.1 Significant Difference between two Means
In this chapter, I would like to determine the different effectiveness of treatment given to both groups, which was reflected on the means gathered. I
would apply the t-test formula to count the difference. The t-test formula is:

2002:280 There are three steps in computing the statistical analysis. First is
calculating the means scores of the experimental group and the control group. Second is calculating the deviation of each group and finally applying the t-test
formula. For the first step, I tried to find the increase of the score in control group
between pre-test and post-test. 35
