Table 9 summarizes these hypotheses. Table 10 lists the test<br />

specialties for which the F ratios would not ‘allow rejection of the<br />

null hypotheses. For these test specialt~~no differences were found<br />

between the SKT scores of OJT graduates and those of TTS graduates.<br />

Table 11 displays regression and correlation statistrcs for the test<br />

specialties for which one or more of the null hypothesis was technically<br />

rejected. Figures 1, 2, and 3 show the data of Table 11<br />

graphically, holding constant the dummy variables NEGRO, FEMALE,<br />

and TEST FORM.<br />

Figure 1 illustrates the results for SKT test specialty 63140,<br />

Fuels Specialist. Acceptance of the second hypothesis means that<br />

there was a statistically significant difference in the performance<br />

of QJT and TTS graduates on the 63140 SKT. Ability as measured<br />

by the Mechanical AI apparently has the same relationship with SKT<br />

scores for both OJT and TTS graduates in this specialty.<br />

The same results obtain for test specialty 64740, Materiel<br />

Facilities Specialist, escept the difference in mean scores as<br />

evidenced by the “OJT” coefficient is slightly larger. The diq>lay<br />

would be similar to Figure 1.<br />

Test specialty 79240, Administrative Specialist, is interesting<br />

in comparison because not only is the mean SKT score higher for<br />

V’OJT*’ graduates, but also ability may have a differentiZl%ii&t on<br />

OJT and TTS graduates. Figure 2 illustrates these results.
