The Relationship of the Weight of Bags of the College Students in kilograms and their

Academic Performance in terms of Grades

CARD MRI Development Institute Inc.

I. Overview

Most people seem to form some stereotype on certain things before knowing the facts
beyond. In a school setting, when someone is wearing a school bag that is full loaded, many
would think that the student is an intelligent one or maybe the top of the class. Therefore, many
would conclude that those students have absolutely good grades.

This study allows us to discover the relationship that exist between the College Student’s
weight of bags in kilograms to their academic performance in terms of grades.

II. Methodology

This Chapter entails the sub-parts of the methodology like Sampling and Population,Study
locale, Study Instrument,Data Collection, and statistical instrument.

Sampling and Population

Random sampling will be utilized in selecting respondents. There will be a total of 54
respondents which randomly selected in the study.

Study Locale
This study will be conducted in CARD MRI Development Institute Inc.

Study Instrument
The researcher-made simple questionnaire in the collection of data.

Data Collection
The data collected in the questionnaire will be tabulated, analyzed and interpreted

Statistical Instrument
The Pearson Correlation Analysis and statistical formula such as Central Tendency
will be employed to determine the relations of the weight of the bags to the academic
performance of the College students.

 Table 1
This table represents the data needed in computing the Central Tendency. Apparently, the
highest Value in Grades is 2.88 carrying a 3.1 kg of bag and the lowest value of grade is 1.13
carrying a 4.75 kg of bag. As the results review that the difference of their weight of bag is too
small while the difference of their grades is too far. (See the second table for the value of
Grades)
