and the f-test inferential statistics at 0.05 

level of significance. The results obtained 

revealed that: there is no significant 

difference in the achievement of NCE 

mathematics students across the various 

subject combinations, there is no 

significant difference between the 

achievements of male and female NCE 

mathematics students across the various
