The independent variables were the genders: Males and Females. The dependent variable is the website in which I received the information off of: NAEP 2011 4th Grade state reading averages. Now that the information is in place and we know what we are looking for we create a hypothesis, which is basically an educated guess. After already looking at the states and seeing the vast difference in the states, I was not sure if it would really matter about the gender since I did not take a huge look at that side of the graph. When thinking and review, I came to the conclusion, I did not feel that gender would make a difference in the students performance.
Below is my t- test in which I compared the two samples given to me; males and females in result to their performance of the reading averages.
Based on the conclusion, I failed to reject the null hypothesis of one gender performing better than the other because their was no significant difference.
Within my own teaching, I could do a Health lesson on finding if more females atheletes are prone to get hurt over male atheletes; students could focus on a certain state on nationwide.
