ABSTRACT
This project is based on the results of candidates who sat for the Senior
Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) conducted by the West Mrican
Examinations Council (WAEC).
The main objective of this project is to determine whether performance in
SSSCE core subjects namely Core Mathematics, Integrated Science, English
Language and Social Studies for the five-year period from 2001 to 2005 depended on
sex. The data were obtained from the West African Examinations Council-for this
research.
Preliminary analysis was conducted on the data using frequency tables,
percentages and multiple bar charts.
In order to establish concrete statistical evidence, the chi-square (X2) test for
independence was used and the results revealed that for the five-year period in all the
four subjects, the males performed better than the females.
