Objective I
To
find out the level of pesticide activities in Obiaruku community
find out the level of pesticide activities in Obiaruku community
Step I: Formulate Hypothesis
Ho:
There is low level of pesticide usage in Obiaruku community
There is low level of pesticide usage in Obiaruku community
Ha: There
is high level of pesticide usage in Obiaruku community
is high level of pesticide usage in Obiaruku community
Step II: Choose Alpha (a) and Degree of Freedom (DF).
DF =
(R – 1) (C – 1)
(R – 1) (C – 1)
= (3 – 1) (2 – 1)
Df = 2 x 1 = 2
Where
R = row, C = column
R = row, C = column
α =
0.05 at 2df = 5.991
0.05 at 2df = 5.991

Step VI: Apply Decision Rule
Since
x2 calculated 19.96 is greater than the table value of x2
0.05 = 5.991, the researcher therefore rejected the null hypothesis and
concluded that the people of Obiaruku are aware of pesticide usage.
