The value is then compared to the significance or probability value of 0.05. Based on the values, it is known that the significance or probability value is smaller than 0.05, meaning that Ho is rejected, but Ha is verified. Hence, it can be stated that based on the experimental data of practice score, there is a significant difference between the score of pre-test and that of post-test.
