Quiz no.6
Just illustrate the specified problem on inferential statistics below. In illustration use the
stepwise method in presenting the procedure.
Problem:
A study is conducted on the relationship of the number of absences (x) and the grades
(y) of 15 students in English. Using r at .05 level of significance and the hypothesis that
there is no significant relationship between absences and grades of the students in
English, determine the relationship using the following data.

ANSWER:

SOLOVING BY STEPWISE METHOD

I. PROBLEM: The significant relationship between absences and grades of

the students in English.

II. HYPOTHESIS
HO: There is no significant relationship between absences
and grades of 15 students in English?
H1: There is a significant relationship between absences
and grades of 15 students in English?

III. Level of Significance

α = 0.05
degree of freedom = 2
critical value (r at 0.05) = 0.950

IV. Decision Rule:

If r – computed value is greater than or beyond the r –
tabular/critical value, reject Ho or the null
hypothesis.
If r – computed value is less than the r – tabular/critical
value, accept Ho or the null hypothesis.

V. Conclusion
(State the conclusion after having the results of the computation)
