1. Correlation Analysis (Pearson’s r) is a statistical method used to estimate the strength of relationship between two
quantitative variables.
n ∑ xy−( ∑ x ∑ y )
r=
√ [ n ∑ x −( ∑ x ) ] ¿ ¿ ¿
2 2
Where:
n= number of pairs of scores
∑ x = sum of x scores
∑ y= sum of y scores
∑ x 2= sum of squared x scores
∑ y = sum of squared y scores

Example:
Here’s a data of five students with their corresponding grade in Math (Independent Variable) and grade in English
(Dependent Variable). Is there a significant relationship between the grade in Math and the grade in English?
r =0.77
Step 4: Select Input Range and Output Range > Tick the labels in first row> OK
For this example, I want the results to appear below the table.
Step 5: Results
Rule of thumb
0.0=r :no correlation 0.0=r :no correlation
−0.0< r ←0.2: very weak negative correlation 0.0< r< 0.2: very weak positive correlation
−0.2 ≤ r ←0.4 :weak negative correlation 0.2 ≤ r< 0.4 :weak positivecorrelation
−0.4 ≤ r ←0.6 :moderately strong negative correlation0.4 ≤ r <0.6 : moderately strong positive correlation
−0.6 ≤ r ←0.8 :strong negative correlation 0.6 ≤ r <0.8 : strong positive correlation
−0.8 ≤ r ←1.0: very strong negative correlation 0.8 ≤ r <1.0 :very strong positive correlation
−1.0=r : perfect correlation 1.0=r : perfect correlation
Interpretation: From the table of values, there is a strong positive correlation between the grade in Math and the grade in
English.
A hypothesis test helps you determine some quantity under a given assumption. The outcome of the test tells you
whether the assumption holds or whether the assumption has been violated. The basic format for hypothesis
testing:
I. State the hypotheses and identify them.
II. State the alpha.
III. Compute the test value.
IV. Make the decision.
V. Summarize the result.
2. Regression Analysis is can be used to explain the relationship between dependent and independent variables.
Three major uses:
a. Causal analysis -shows you the possible causation of changes in Y by changes X.
b. Forecasting an Effect- allows you estimate and predict the value of Y given the value of X.
c. Linear Trend Forecasting- helps you trace the line best fit to tine series
Characteristics Regression Line
1. When m>0, y increases as x increases. (Positive Linear Relationship)
2. When m<0, y decreases as x increases. (Negative Linear Relationship)
3. When m=0, y constant and is equal to y-intercept b. (No Relationship)
y=mx+b
( ∑ y ) ( ∑ x 2 ) −( ∑ x )( ∑ xy )
b= 2
n ( ∑ x ) −( ∑ x )

n( ∑ xy )−( ∑ x )( ∑ y )
m= 2
n ( ∑ x )−( ∑ x )

Regression Table
III. Compute the test value.
P-value=0.130218
IV. Make the decision.
P-value>0.05
Since this P-value is not less than the chosen alpha level of 0.05, we can’t reject the null hypothesis.
V. Summarize the result.
The table presents the relationship of the dependent and independent variables. The computed P-value which is
0.130218 is greater than the Alpha which is 0.05. The numerical data shows that there is no significant relationship between
Mathematics Grade and English Grade of the students, r (3) = 0.766, p > 0.05.
Step 4:
P-value=0.006342
P-value¿0.10
Since this P-value less than the chosen alpha level of 0.10, we reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: Bread diet causes more gain compared to fruit diet.
4. ANOVA. One way analysis of variance is used when you want to compare the means of more than two groups. This test can
be used only if the background assumptions are satisfied such that it has independent random samples, population are normal
population variance are equal.
Example: A teacher is concerned about the level of knowledge possessed by PUP students regarding Philippine history.
Academic major of the students was also recorded. Data in terms of percent correct is recorded below for 24 students. Is there
a significant difference between the levels of knowledge possessed by PUP students regarding Philippine history when
grouped according to their academic major? Compute for the appropriate test for the data provided below and use 0.05 level
of significance.

Step 4: Results
P-value=0.59284
P-value¿0.05
Since this P-value greater than the chosen alpha level of 0.05, we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the levels of knowledge possessed by PUP students
regarding Philippine history when grouped according to their academic major.
