It is recommended to give equal priority to the domestic and international type of students regarding faculty and teaching methods. With (Chi(2)=1.6, p>0.05), the Chi square test of Independence indicates that there is 44.9% chance that type of class and type of student status are independent of each other. With (z=0.5346, p>5%), one sample Z test indicates that there is 29.6% chance that the mean marks of students are less or equal to 55. adopting a practical method of teaching, proper invigilation on students regarding their homework an assignment might be helpful to improve the proportion of students whose mean marks are greater than 55.

There is no evidence to support the claim that the mean marks between two types of student status namely domestic and international differs significantly. The P value is equal to 0.7994. There is 79.9% probability that the mean marks between two types of student status namely domestic and international differs significantly. Huck, S.W., Cormier, W.H. and Bounds, W.G., 1974. Hypothesis 3 The null hypothesis, Ho: types of class and status of student is independent of each other. The alternative hypothesis, H1: types of class and status of student are dependent on each other. Lancaster, H.O., 1969. Chi-square test of Independence is used to test the above hypothesis. The dependent variable is marks of the student. The independent variables are the type of class and this type of student status. For the application of Chi-square test of Independence, it is required that two variables are measured on the nominal scale of measurement. In this case, the type of student status and the type of class is a categorical variable measured by the nominal scale of measurement. The test statistic for chi-square test of Independence is given below. Lancaster, H.O., 1969. Chi square=Sum {(Oi-Ei)^2/Ei} Where, Oi is the observed frequency Ei is the expected frequency Ei= (ri_total*ci_total)/(grand_total ) Degrees of0.05),>0.05), one-way>
