Abstract :
This study was conducted to compare the
results of the total number of the registered deaths in
2021 by both genders. The research was quantitative
research however it was classified as secondary type of
research since the data obtained already existed. The data
was gathered from the website of PSA in which the
number of deaths of both genders was already recorded.
After gathering the data, the researchers compared the
numbers of deaths and computed for the test of normality
using Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test. After the computation,
the result showed that the data obtained from the PSA
was not normally distributed. This is why the researchers
used the Mann-Whitney U Test to compare the data in
order to draw conclusions from both genders if which of
them could be healthier based on the recorded number of
deaths. Upon using the Mann-Whitney U test, results
showed that there was no significant difference on the
number of deaths between males and females in different
regions of the Philippines despite men having a higher
record of deaths compared to women in PSA in the year
of 2021. The computed level of significant was .053
therefore this study failed to reject the null hypothesis.
