From the table above, the total number of
respondents that say “yes” is equal to 511 (85.2%) while the total number of
respondent that say “no” is equal to 89 (14.8%). The calculated chi-square X2
value is 19.96 while the table value of x2 at 0.05, 2df = 5.991.
Since the calculated chi-square value of 19.96 is greater than the table value,
the researcher rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that there is high
level of awareness on the use of pesticide in Obiaruku community

The
table above shows that out of 600 respondents, 455 (75.8%) persons said “yes”
while that that said no is equal to 145 (24.2%). Since the calculated
chi-square value is 16.83 while the table value of x2 at 0.05 at 2df
= 5.991, the null hypothesis was rejected which implies that there are possible
measures to reduce the implication of pesticides on man and its environment.
