4.3 Hypotheses Testing
The actual testing of hypothesis constitutes the second aspect of the presentation andanalysis of the collected data. To do this, the statistic of chi square shall be adopted to primarily determine the existence of non-existence of the relationship between the dependentand independent variables. The three hypotheses in this study are:
a. There is no significant relationship between family disintegration and involvement in drug use.
b. There is no significant relationship between family disintegration and involvement in alcoholism.
c. There is no significant relationship between family disintegration and truancy.
4.4 Decision Rule on Tested Hypotheses
The hypotheses are to be tested using items on the questionnaire. In addition, simplepercentage method is used to determine the frequency of the respondents were responses are cross tabulated. In this process, the null hypotheses {Ho} and the alternative hypotheses {Hi} are set with constant degree of freedom {df}.
The hypotheses in this study are tested at 0.05% level of significance, which implies that decision made in the acceptance or rejection of the either null or alternative hypothesesis 95% correct. In decision, if the c square tabulated (X2t) is greater than the chi square calculated (X2t), we reject the alternative hypothesis (HI) and accept the null hypothesis, but if the ciii square tabulated (X2t) is greater, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative (HI).
4.4.1 Hypothesis One
The following are the alternative and the null hypothesis
Ho: There is no significant relationship between family disintegration and drug abuse.
Hi: There is significant relationship between family disintegration and drug abuse.
