Pearson-Product Moment
Correlation
Solution:

Interpretation : Positive High Relationship

Coefficient of Determination
• It is the square of the correlated coefficient
multiplied by 100%.
• This will give us information regarding the
extent to which the independent variable x
influences the dependent variable y.
• It is denoted by the symbol CD.
Formula:

Where:
= square of correlated coefficient 
Coefficient of Determination
Since
the value of correlation coefficient is 0.77
Then

Solution:

Conclusion:
This implies that the score of the students in Math
and English is affected by their score.
The Significance Test for the
Coefficient of Correlation
Test the Ho:  = 0
against Ha:   0

Formula:

Level of Significance (α)

1%  5%  10%
The Significance Test for the
Coefficient of Correlation
rXY : 0.77
Interpretation : Positive High Rel. Coefficient of
Determination : 59.29%
Ho:  = 0
(There is no significant relationship
between the Mathematics and English.)
Ha:   0
(There is a significant relationship between
the Mathematics and English.)
: 0.01 or 1%
(Two-tailed Test)
The Significance Test for the
Coefficient of Correlation
Use 1% Degree of Freedom

Critical/Tabular Value
3.355
Decision:
Reject Ho and Accept Ha
Remarks:
Significant
The Significance Test for the
Coefficient of Correlation
Other:

Decision:
Since the computed value 3.41 is greater
than the critical or tabular value 3.355
therefore, Reject Null Hypothesis (Ho) and
Accept Alternative Hypothesis (Ha).
Conclusion:
There is a significant relationship between
the Mathematics and English at 0.01 level
of significance.
