III
To find out the implication of poor
refuse management on the environment in Uguno Orogun Community
Step
I: Formulated hypothesis
Ho: There are no environmental
implication of poor refuse management in Uguno Orogun Community
Ha: There are environmental implication
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

Step VI: Applying
decision rule
Since X2 calculated 69.22 is
≥ table value at 0.05 at 2df = 5.991. therefore, the researcher rejected the
null hypothesis and concluded that there are environmental implication of poor
refuse management in Uguno Orogun Community.
