Step I: Formulate
hypothesis II
hypothesis II
Ho: There are no factors responsible for soil erosion
in Sapele metropolis.
in Sapele metropolis.
Ha: There are factors responsible for soil erosion in
Sapele metropolis.
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 = 29.713 is ≥
than table value of 0.05 = 12.59 at 6df, the researcher rejected the null
hypothesis and concluded that there are factor responsible for soil erosion in
Sapele metropolis.
than table value of 0.05 = 12.59 at 6df, the researcher rejected the null
