Appendix II

Objective
I

To determine the causes of poor refuse
management

Step
I:

Ho: There are no causes of poor refuse
management in Uguno Orogun Community

Ha: There are causes of poor refuse
management in Uguno Orogun Community

Step
II: Choose alpha (α) and degree of freedom (d.f)

df = (R-1) (C-1)

(3-1)
(2-1)

2 x 1
= 2

df = 2

Where R = Row

C = Column

α = 0.05 = 5.991

S/N	QUESTION	YES	NO	TOTAL
1. 1	Does lack of funds result to poor refuse management?	261	39	300
2. 2	Does lack of equipment result to poor refuse management?	280	20	300
3. 3	Does lack of dumping site result to poor refuse management?	245	55	300
TOTAL		786	114	900

O	E	O – E	(O – E)	(O – E)2/E
261	262	-1	1	3.82
280	262	18	324	1.24
245	262	-17	289	1.10
39	38	1	1	0.03
20	38	-18	324	8.53
55	38	17	289	7.61
Total				22.33

Step VI: Applying
decision rule

Since X2 calculated value is
22.33 ≥ table value 0.05 at 2df = 5.991, the researcher therefore rejected the
null hypothesis (Ho) and concluded that there are causes of poor refuse
management in Orogun Community.
