Abstract

The research entitled “Analyzing the Influence of Calculator Statistical Features on Grade 11 Students’ Statistics
Performance”. The different scientific calculators were used in the control group which are commonly used in 
every class statistics. The statistical features of the graphing calculator were used in the control group. This study 
aims to determine the effects of statistical features of calculators on students’ performance in grade 11 statistics. 
Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions: Is there a significant difference between the pretest of the Control and Experimental groups? Is there a significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the 
Control and Experimental groups? Is there a significant difference between the gain score of the control group and 
the experimental group? And, give a general observation of the study. The result of the study shows that there is a 
significant difference between the use of the different statistical functions of calculators. The experimental group 
showed better performance and easily used the statistical features of graphing calculators. In the Control group, 
students had difficulties in solving the z-test, and p-value. The statistical feature of graphing calculators is useful 
in higher topics in statistics.
