Statistical Analysis Of Letter Frequency In Swahili Language

ABSTRACT The sudy of a language is very important for the cryptanalysis of substitution and/ or permutation ciphers. In that type of ciphers one letter is substituted by another one, or its order is changed with the order of another letter also from the text. In either case the ―personality‖of the alphabets remains intact, hidden inside a different vest, but intact anyway. If it is true that the morden block ciphers hide those characteristics, given the fact that they operate at bit leve...

A Survey Of Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp)

ABSTRACT The purpose of this dissertation is to survey Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as the tool used in decision making. The decision making process involves evaluating alternatives or criterion by selecting the best option.

The Effectiveness Of Multiple Choice Questions In Mathematics

ABSTRACT Multiple choice examinations are commonly used to assess student learning. However, instructors often find it challenging to write good items that ask students to do more than memorize facts and details. Multiple choice test items are generally more complex and time-consuming to create than other types of tests. It requires a certain amount of skill. However, this skill may be increases through study, practice and experience. This dissertation discusses a number of issues related to...

The Contribution Of Teaching Aids (Counting Objects) In Numeracy Skills Performance For Standard Two Pupils: A Case Of Kiteto District

ABSTRACT This study aimed at investigating the contribution of teaching aids (counting objects) in numeracy skills performance for standard two pupils. The main objective of this study was to introduce an effective intervention for enhancing pupils‟ achievement levels in numeracy. The study revealed that there is a low numeracy skill which is caused by many reasons such as unsuitable teaching and learning environment, few teaching methods, negative attitude of pupils and parents towards nu...
