The four null hypotheses formulated for this study were tested using t-test and ANOVA statistical measures. All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance.
Hypothesis One: There is no significant difference in the expression of secondary school students on the influence of guidance and counselling on career choices on the basis of sex.
Table 3 shows that the calculated t-value is 1.98. While critical t-value is 1.96. Since the calculated t-value is more than the critical t-value, the null hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference in the expression of secondary school students on the influence of guidance and counselling on career choices on the basis of gender is rejected. This shows that there is a significance difference in the expression of secondary school students on the influence of guidance and counselling on career choices on the basis of gender.
