Explanation / Answer
Let's assume the level of significance for testing the results be 0.05.
Then from Figure 1, p-value of Math and Geometry (0.021 and 0.014 respectively) are less than level of significance then.On rest of the 4 subjects p-values are greater than 0.05.
So we can say from Figure 1, Math and Geometry scores of obese students are significantly less than Math and Geometry scores of average students while the scores in other 4 streams are not significantly less.
Hence the overall score of obese students will be less than average students at 5% level of significance..
From Figure 2 also, Math and Geometry scores of obese students are significantly less than Math and Geometry scores of average students while the scores in other 4 streams are not significantly less.
