The hypothesis tested was Ho1: There is no significant difference in the academic performance of pupils in private and public primary schools of Gasabo district.» Considering the results in table 4.5, the P value is 1.4966E-24 or 1.4966x10-24 Since the P. value is below 0.05, there is a significant difference between the two distributions. This leads to the rejection of the H0, implying that there is a significant difference in academic performance between pupils in private primary schools and public primary schools of Gasabo district. This is also confirmed by the value of t. t-cal. 2.290 >t-critical 1.645.
