Table 6

Summary of the statistical analysis of the proposed model at an alpha value of 0.05 which matches to 95% confidence level.

CaseComments

1t-Critical = 2.0t-Statistic = 14.59Since t-statistic > t-critical which implies that value of the correlation coefficient is not due to sampling error, the null hypothesis is rejected and it is concluded that there is a significant correlation between (MR)measured and CBR value in the population.
2r-Pearson = 0.9r-Critical = 0.27Since r-Pearson > r-critical which implies that the null hypothesis is rejected, it is quite realistic to accept the “alternative hypothesis,” that is the value of r that we have obtained from our sample represents a real relationship between (MR)measured and CBR value in the population.
3t-Critical = 2.0t-Statistic = 0.52Since t-statistic < t-critical which implies that the null hypothesis is accepted, it is concluded that there is an insignificant difference between (MR)measured and (MR)correlated values in the population.
