INTRODUCTION

The internet is an important element in the overall educational experience of many

teenagers. Schools are a common location where online teens access the web, although very few
online teenagers rely exclusively on their school for that web access. Further, there is
widespread agreement among teens and their parents that the internet can be a useful tool for
school.
There have been many pros which the internet can give us, but let us too consider the cons. One
of negative attributes that internet could give is that, that strength varies from different location,
wherein, there are locations where the Download Mbps is high, and there places too where it is
low.
We observed that students feel more convenient and at ease when the internet connection is fast,
but in contrary, they become more impatient and sometimes would rant and complain about the
quality of the internet they since they are paying so much for miscellaneous fees, yet the service
sometimes doesn’t meet the needs of the students.
This project is about the internet connection or Wi-Fi speed of Mapua University at five different
locations, to know if there is a significant difference for their mean downloading speed in these
five different locations, namely; MME Tambayan, Canteen, Library, 3rd Floor Student Center,
and 4th Floor NW Tambayan. Those are the chosen location because we have seen that students
stays those places during their vacant period.

DATA ANALYSIS
Following the methodology of this study, we were able to gather the data from these five
different locations in the school with their different downloading speed (Mbps) tested five
different times. Here are the data:
LOCATIONS

MME CANTEEN LIBRARY 3rd FLOOR 4th FLOOR NW

TAMBAYAN STUDENT TAMBAYAN
LOUNGE

4.56 3.72 3.87 4.11 4.79

3.78 3.75 3.76 4.57 4.77
4.38 3.59 3.78 3.73 4.92
4.48 3.26 3.02 3.82 4.73
3.70 3.78 3.98 4.64 4.70

We can see from the table that the downloading speed is not that consistent. Generally, the
downloading speed is greater than 2 Mbps but lesser than 5 Mbps. The location where the it has
the highest Mbps is at 4th Floor NW Tambayan having a 4.92 Mbps downloading speed, while
for the lowest one is in the Library having a 3.02 Mbps downloading speed. Gathering the data is
difficult in some locations because there are times where the internet connection on those places
are not stable specially in the canteen and in the library, and two cases were observed; for the
first case, as you go inner parts of both canteen and library, the connection becomes weaker and
eventually lost it, and for the second case is that, there are portion where the connection is strong
but after a while it is disrupted. We might have a problem in that part of gathering the data for
the two location, because we assumed that the specific places where we took the speedtest in the
library and canteen is where most stable and fastest parts already, but it is possible that there are
portions in the canteen and library where the connection is stronger compared from the data we
have gathered for the two places.

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE TEST

Step 1: Set up the hypothesis and provide the level of significance.

At standard α = 0.05, can it be concluded that the average downloading speed at five different
location in Mapua University are equal or at least two of the means are not equal?
H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5
H1: At least two of the means are not equal
Step 2: Find the critical f value (Using MATLAB as calculator)
At α = 0.05, degrees of freedom for numerator (v1) = n - 1, and degrees of freedom for
denominator (v2) = k(n - 1). Where n is the “n” is the number of tests for the samples while “k”
is the number of groups or sample.

With the calculated degrees of freedoms v1 and v2 and significant level of 0.05, using the F
distribution table, we get F(4,20) = 2.87.
Step 3: Compute the test value (Using MATLAB)
MATLAB has a special tool that calculates the test value for one-way analysis of variance. After
running the program will project an ANOVA table containing the Source, Sum of Squares (SS),
Degrees of freedom (df), Mean Square (MS), Computed F (F), and the P-Value (Prob>F).

The table shows that the computed F value based from our data is 10.22, and the P-value
calculated is approximately 0.0001.
Showing the Significant Difference Through a Graph

Aside from the ANOVA table, MATLAB can also provide graph of the data if the user wishes to
have let it be plotted.
The graph shows the summary of the data collected and it also shows how they vary from each
other. The whiskers represent the minimum and the maximum value, and the red lines represents
the median value of the data.
We would want to have the visual representation to show the difference in downloading speed in
those five different locations.
Step 4: Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if Fcomputed > F α (v1, v2) and P-value < α.
Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis.
Based from the result that MATLAB has provided, the Computed F which is 10.22 and it is
greater than 2.87 which is the F-alpha. And, the calculated P-value 0.0001 is lesser than the
significant level 0.05. Therefore, reject the null hypothesis.

Step 5: Conclusion
We reject the null hypothesis because we have a statistically significant evidence to show that at
least two means of the downloading speed from the different location is not equal.
