The Race for 2013 Senatorial Election

Page 2: Statistics student sample project (1)

Rationale: As I approach the May 2010 election. Our group conducted a quick survey to test the Filipinos’ maturity and integrity in choosing their candidates in our democratic institution. Thus, this project will try to determine the bet of some of our fellow countrymen for the presidential race in the May 2010 election.

Statement of the Problem: The aim of this first term statistical research project is to find out who is JRU students’ choice for president in 2010. Specifically, it will try to find the following:1] The profile of the respondents according to

a] gender

b] age

2] JRU students’ choice for president

3] Male JRU students’ choice for president

4] Female JRU students’ choice for president

5] JRU students’ perception of their candidates’ chance of winning the presidency in the 2010 election

6] Male JRU students’ perception of their candidate’s chance of winning the presidency in the 2010 election

7] Female JRU students’ perception of their candidate’s chance of winning the presidency in the 2010 election

8] JRU students’ degree of optimism that their choice for president can make a difference in the lives of Filipino

people

9] Male JRU students’ degree of optimism that their choice for president can make a difference in the lives of

Filipino people

10] Female JRU students’ degree of optimism that their choice for president can make a difference in the lives

of Filipino people

11] If there is a significant difference on the degree of optimism between male & female JRU students that their

choice for president can make a difference on the lives of Filipino people

12] If there is a significant difference on the proportion of votes garnered by ESCUDERO & VILLAR as the

JRU students’ choice for president

Hypotheses Tested: The following hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance:

Page 3: Statistics student sample project (1)

1] Hypothesis on mean: Our group wants to know if there is a significant difference on the average degree of optimism between male and female respondents that their choice for president can make a difference on the lives of Filipino people. Ho: µEscudero = µVillar; There is no significant difference on the average degree of optimism between JRU male and female students that their choice for president can make a difference on the lives of Filipino people. Ha: µEscudero ≠ µVillar; There is a significant difference on the average degree of optimism between JRU male and female students that their choice for president can make a difference on the lives of Filipino people.2] Hypothesis on proportion: Our group wants to know if there is a significant difference on the average degree of optimism between male and female respondents that their choice for president can make a difference on the lives of Filipino people. Ho: PEscudero = PVillar; The proportion of votes garnered by Escudero and Villar are equal. Ha: PEscudero ≠ PVillar; The proportion of votes garnered by Escudero is significantly higher than the proportion of votes garnered by Villar.

Population and Sample: The population in this research is JRU students who are enrolled this first semester SY 2008-09. Our group has estimated JRU for having 22,000 students enrolled this first semester of SY 2009-10. Using Slovin’s formula and a 5% margin of error, the required number of samples is 393. (Please see computation below.) But our professor only required us to gather 200 samples, but our group managed to gather up to 250 samples. Our group decided to use random sampling. Thus our samples are 115 randomly selected male and 135 randomly selected female UE students.

Computation for n at e = 5%

n = 392.86 or 393

Sampling and Data Gathering Techniques: Our group used simple random sampling in choosing the 250 sample respondents in this research. We also utilized the indirect or questionnaire method. The group distributed 250 questionnaires from June 25 to July 2 to UE students around the campus. Our group had contacts inside the UE campus, thus making things easier to get in touch with UE students. Having only 3 members in the group the group divided the questionnaires into 3, with 2 members having 75 questionnaires each and 1 member having 100 questionnaires. From June 25 to July 2 our group would drop by UE to randomly give out survey questionnaires to UE students, and with the help of our contacts in UE, our group was able to have access inside the UE campus, thus giving the group more respondents for the survey.

Research Design: Our research is descriptive comparative since we will be comparing the responses of male and female UE students.

Questionnaire: The questionnaire is composed of three items. The 1st item asks the respondents about their choice for president in 2010. The 2nd item asks about their choice’s chances of winning the presidency. The last item is a likert scale composed of five statements which try to assess the respondent’s degree of optimism that their choice for president can make a difference on the lives of Filipino people.

Processing of data: Below is a table which summarizes the research procedure.

Following is the 5-step solution: 1] Ho: pEscudero = pVillar; There is no significant difference on the proportion of votes garnered by Escudero and Villar. Ha: pEscuero > pVillar; The proportion of votes garnered by Escudero is significantly higher than the proportion of votes garnered by Villar.2] ; p-Value = 03] Decision Rule: Reject Ho if p-Value(0.0000000000329151) < α(0.05)4] Decision: Reject Ho because p-Value(0.0000000000329151) < α(0.05)5] Conclusion: The proportion of votes garnered by Escudero is significantly higher than the proportion of votes garnered by Villar.

INFERENCE: If this trend will continue, and if election is held today and the voters are only UE students then Escudero is a sure winner.

1] Quijano, Mark AnthonyLeader 10

I wasn’t really the original leader of the group, but when our original leader dropped out of class, and as Co-Leader I had to take over as the leader of the group, and I did my part as the new leader of the group by closely monitoring the progress of our research work.

2] Santos, Robert Co-Leader 10Well, I did my part as I could, but I all thanks to the leader who keeps the group intact.

3] Catabran, Michael Analyzer 10

I took part on the research specifically the tallying of votes, hypothesis testing, conclusions from findings and 5-step solution on the last part. Also rechecked the whole project itself.

INDIVIDUAL REFLECTION

MY ELEMSTA EXPERIENCE

Leader: Mark Anthony Quijano_I learned a lot in my ELEMSTA class, and I know these things will help me out in the next subjects that I will be taking up in the next semesters, surveying for example will be helpful when I do feasibility studies, and in my course Export Management that will have a big factor when I start doing my thesis. Also things were made easier for us by our professor so the research work wasn’t really that hard. But overall my ELEMSTA class was a learning experience.Co-Leader:_Robert Santos_ELEMSTA for me is a good learning experience. It gave me an idea on how to gather data, it could even help me in the future when I finish my college years, the subject to me is challenging yet fun, it feeds me idea on how I could survey on things, well I could even use it on my years here at CSB. The most thing that’s why I really love ELEMSTA is we can choose where we want to survey so we could go to the place and really survey people and meet new ones. I really felt the importance of this subject, it really opened my eyes on things how people really gather data here and else where, with the help of our professor I really learned a lot.Analyzer:_Michael Catabran_My experience in ELEMSTA is fast and easy one. There was some difficulty on some lessons but most of the time, it was mostly easy to understand. I didn’t expect ELEMSTA to be this easy as I’m not that good in math but thanks to an excellent method of teaching it wasn’t a problem.
