Interpretation: Data shows that Math is the most difficult subject to learn with 25.

Note: The symbol for chi-square is 𝑥 2 .

Problem 2: Is there significant difference in the most difficult subject to learn among the G6 pupils of
Tetuan Central School?

Formula:

Gay (20%) = 200

𝑁
Slovin 𝑛 = 1+𝑁 (0.05)2

1000
𝑛 = 1+1000(0.0025)

1000 1000
1+2.5
= 3.5
= 285

Conditions:

 If there is no significant difference, the five subjects have no difference in the difficulty.
 If there is significant difference, Math is the most difficult subject.
