CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Reliability Reliability is the consistency, accuracy, stability and trustworthiness of a measuring instrument or scores obtained (Raji, 2009). The reliability of the instrument is concerned with how far the same test would give the same result when used for the same respondents at different occasions or with different set of equivalent items under the same conditions (Oladele, 1987). To establish the reliability of the instrument for this study, the test-re-test method was a ... Continue reading---

Table 4 shows that the calculated t-value is 1.25 while critical t-value is 1.96. Since the calculated t-value is less than the critical t-value, the null hypothesis, which states that there is no significant difference in the factors influencing juvenile delinquencies by respondents on the basis of age, is accepted. This shows that there is no significant diffe ... Continue reading---
