This report presents a statistical analysis comparing student performance in multiple-choice questions (MCQ) and written sections. A paired t-test was employed to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between the average marks in the two sections. The analysis included descriptive statistics, such as mean and standard deviation, and visual representations, including box plots and bar plots, to illustrate the data distribution and compare the average scores. The study considered the assumptions of the t-test, including the normality of the data and the independence of observations. The results of the t-test, calculated using MS Excel, revealed that the null hypothesis, which posited no difference in average marks, could not be rejected at the 5% significance level. The conclusion drawn was that there was no statistical evidence to suggest a difference in the average scores between the MCQ and written sections. The report includes detailed calculations, and references to support the methodology and findings.
