This study examined the likelihood of students’ involvement in examination malpractice with respect to their class attendance rate, time of examination preparation and desperation to pass an examination. The study used the Delta State Polytechnic as case study with the use of structured questionnaires the necessary data were generated and analyzed using the odds ratio and relative risk methods. Results from the study indicated very high odds (9.387) of students using smuggled paper during examination with a relative risk of over 5.97 when they are desperate to pass the examination. In addition, the odds of using smuggled paper in the examination if students have average class attendance is 0.667 with a relative risk of 0.540 which are nearly uncertain to occur. It was also discovered that the possibility of students using smuggled paper in the examination if they prepare late for an examination is very likely to occur with odds ratio and relative risk of 1.397 and 1.084 respectively. It was therefore concluded that students have high risk of getting involved with examination due to their desperation to pass, their preparation before the examination as well as the rate of class attendance. The study recommended that if students start preparing from the beginning of the semester, the risk of smuggling paper, using of phones and spying in the examination will be reduced to minimum....Preview Download Preview +Other Mathematics and Statistics project topics and materials you might be interested in»Statistical Quality Control of Premier Soap in Soap Manufacturing Industry ( A Case Study of PZ Cusson PLC Aba Abia State)»Statistical analysis of students’ height and weight (case study of federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo state) »Statistical analysis of unemployment rate among age groups and geographical locations in Nigeria»Statistical analysis of the problems associated with skill acquisition in Nigeria (a case study of male tailors in Imo state)»Application of linear programming technique to profit maximization in the production of soap (a case study of Promotex industrial and chemical company limited, Nnewi, Anambra state) »Statistical analysis of foster care and adoption rate in Abia state (a case study of motherless babies home Ahiaeke, Umuahia)»Determination of nutritional status of children within the ages of four (4) to ten (10) years using their body mass index (BMI)»Time series analysis on marriage registration in Ilorin, Kwara state»Application of multiple queuing model in evaluating the efficiency of service in UBA bank»Statistical analysis on impact of parental hood on academic performance»Econometrics analysis of gross national income on consumption expenditure of federal republic of Nigeria between (2011)»Determinant of foreign direct investment in Nigeria and its effect on Nigerian economy: an empirical analysis»Statistical analysis of factors affecting crime in Imo state»Statistical study of the queuing pattern at the antinatal division of Federal Medical Center FMC Owerri Imo state»A statistical analysis of coal production in Nigeria - a case study of Nigeria coal corporation from 2000-2009
