Step I: Formulate
hypothesis IV
hypothesis IV
Ho: There are no possible ways/methods of reducing the
environmental and health impact of soil erosion in Sapele metropolis.
environmental and health impact of soil erosion in Sapele metropolis.
Ha: There are possible ways/methods of reducing the
environmental and health impact of soil erosion in Sapele metropolis.
environmental and health impact of soil erosion in Sapele metropolis.
Step II: Choose
alpha and degree of freedom
alpha and degree of freedom
Let x = 0.05
df = (C – I) (R – I)
= (4 – I) (3 – I)
= 3 x 2 = 6.
Therefore X² = 0.05 at 6df = 12.59
Step VI: Apply decision rule
Since X2 calculated value = 12.332 is ≤
than table value of 0.05 = 12.59 at 6df, the researcher accept the null
hypothesis and concluded that there are no possible ways/methods of reducing
the environmental and health impact of soil erosion in Sapele metropolis.
than table value of 0.05 = 12.59 at 6df, the researcher accept the null
