The Differences of Two Means

difference between the two means is Mx-My. It indicated that the use of audio visual aid were effective in improving students’ speaking skill especially in daily conversation. Hence, I still cannot claim that the method I used is effective in developing students’ speaking skill until I count the significance using t-test.

4.3 The Differences of Two Means

The result of both experimental and control groups could be seen at the table as follow: Table 4.4 Differences between pretest and posttest score of experimental group No Respondents Pretest x 1 Posttest x 2 Differences X X 2 1 E-1 96 100 4 16 2 E-2 60 92 32 1024 3 E-3 76 92 16 256 4 E-4 96 100 4 16 5 E-5 88 96 8 64 6 E-6 80 92 12 144 7 E-7 72 80 8 64 8 E-8 68 92 24 576 9 E-9 88 100 12 144 10 E-10 88 96 8 64 11 E-11 80 88 8 64 12 E-12 68 92 24 576 13 E-13 72 88 16 256 14 E-14 56 96 40 1600 15 E-15 72 88 16 256 16 E-16 72 96 24 576 17 E-17 64 96 32 1024 18 E-18 72 92 20 400 19 E-19 88 96 8 64 20 E-20 68 84 16 256 21 E-21 72 84 12 144 22 E-22 92 100 8 64 23 E-23 80 100 20 400 24 E-24 72 88 16 256 25 E-25 72 96 24 576 26 E-26 76 84 8 64 27 E-27 76 92 16 256 28 E-28 84 96 12 144 29 E-29 72 92 20 400 30 E-30 88 92 4 16 31 E-31 96 100 4 16 ∑ 2404 2880 476 9776 After calculating the experimental group’s score, I computed the mean score using the formula stated by Arikunto 2006: 312. The mean of experimental group is: M = 476.0 31 = 15.35 Next, I calculated the sum of experimental group’s score. The sum of experimental group’s score is: ΣX = Σx − Σx Nx ΣX = 9776 − 476 31 ΣX = 9776 − 7308.90 ΣX = 2467.10 Table 4.5 Differences between pretest and posttest score of the control group: No Respondents Pretest y 1 Posttest y 2 Differences Y Y 2 1 C-1 76 80 4 16 2 C-2 72 84 12 144 3 C-3 64 80 16 256 4 C-4 64 80 16 256 5 C-5 80 88 8 64 6 C-6 68 84 16 256 7 C-7 72 80 8 64 8 C-8 68 80 12 144 9 C-9 80 88 8 64 10 C-10 60 76 16 256 11 C-11 68 84 16 256 12 C-12 76 84 8 64 13 C-13 76 88 12 144 14 C-14 76 80 4 16 15 C-15 68 88 20 400 16 C-16 72 84 12 144 17 C-17 64 80 16 256 18 C-18 68 80 12 144 19 C-19 80 80 20 C-20 80 88 8 64 21 C-21 72 84 12 144 22 C-22 72 88 16 256 23 C-23 64 76 12 144 24 C-24 72 88 16 256 25 C-25 84 84 26 C-26 64 80 16 256 27 C-27 64 76 12 144 28 C-28 76 84 8 64 29 C-29 76 84 8 64 30 C-30 68 84 16 256 31 C-31 68 84 16 256 32 C-32 72 84 12 144 33 C-33 76 84 8 64 34 C-34 60 76 16 256 35 C-35 76 84 8 64 36 C-36 72 88 16 256 ∑ 2568 2984 416 5632 After calculating the control group’s score, I computed the mean score using the formula stated by Arikunto 2006: 312. The mean of control group is: M = 416.0 36 = 11.56 Next, I calculated the sum of control group’s score. The sum of control group’s score is: ΣY = Σy − Σy Ny ΣY = 5632 − 416.0 36 ΣY = 5632 − 4807.11 ΣY = 824.89 To make the analysis more reliable, I analyzed by using t-test formula as stated in chapter III.
