correlation strength.
The table above shows the amount of “r” (correlation coefficient) and
of r.
Table 1 (VISUAL)
r = 0.2637973568246393
The correlation plot above shows the strength of the correlation is for
the visual learning style and the academic performance. The “r” value shown
below the plot clearly shows that the visual learning style and the academic

a low negative correlation, because as shown the data points are scattered
and its “r” clearly belongs to the low correlation, which means the
correlation of the Aural learning style and academic performance has a low
negative correlation.

r = 0.10951463596343734
In the read/write category of the Learning styles, its correlation strength is
still a low correlation, but now it’s not a negative correlation. It is a low
positive correlation. Because as shown again, the data points are scattered
which means the correlation of the read/write learning style and academic

Dear Ma’am,
Good Day!
We are researchers from Grade 12 deparment under HUMSS Strand, and we would like to
ask for permission to conduct a survey on the Grade 11 students of our school. It will not
take too long for the answers are already provided and it is convenient for them also. It will
be a big factor in the accomplishment of this research, since our research involves them as
our respondents.
I am hoping for your kind consideration.
Respecfully,
