1. Find the coefficient of correlation between the weight (x) and the length (y) of milkfish
captured in the backyard fishpond. Construct the table then interpret it.

0.6 0.42
1.1 0.61
0.5 0.42
0.9 0.58
0.7 0.59

0.53 0.32

I- CORRELATION BETWEEN WEIGHT (kg) AND LENGTH (m)

Weight (kg) Length (m)

Weight (kg) 1 0.89

Length (m) 0.89 1

Null Hypothesis: There is no significant correlation between the Weight (x) and the Length (y)
of milkfish captured in the backyard fishpond.

Computed Degree of Level of Critical Decision Interpretation

value Freedom significance Value
0.89 13 0.05 .51 Reject the Null Significant
Hypothesis

Gleaned from the table is the result of the computation of the correlational test. It can be
seen that the Computed value of .89 is greater than critical value of .51 at 0.05 level of
significance. Hence, the null hypothesis was rejected. This implies that there is a significant
correlation between the Weight (x) and the Length (y) of milkfish captured in the backyard
fishpond. It implies that the weight of the milkfish has a correlation with its length.

2. Test if significant difference exists. If there is a difference, perform the Post Hoc test Using
Scheffe’s Test. Then, use the data to interpret the results by writing appropriate title of the table.

Gleaned from the table is the result of the computation of the Test of Difference of the
three different Groups. It can be seen that the Computed F Value of is 5.31 is greater than the F
critical of 3.59 at .05 level of significance. As seen in the table below of the Comparison of the
three different groups using the Scheffe’s Test, it shows that the difference between the Group
1 and Group 2 was found because of the Computed Fs of 10.42 is greater than the Critical value
of 7.18.
