Appendix V

Data analysis
and interpretation of result
Objective IV
To find out possible solutions to environmental
degradation in Afiesere
Step I: State Hypothesis
Ho: There are no possible solutions to environmental
degradation in Afiesere
Ha: There are possible solutions to environmental
degradation in Afiesere

Step II: Choose Alpha (α) and Degree
of Freedom (df)
df = (R – 1) (C – 1)
    = (3 – 1) (2
– 1)
    = 2 x 1 = 2
df = 2
Where R = Row, While C = Column
α = 0.05 = 5.991

Step VI: Applying Decision Rule
Since X2
calculated value = 6.65 is greater than table value of 0.05 = 5.991 at 2 df,
the researcher concluded that there are possible solutions to environmental
degradation in Afiesere community.
