may be used in decision making.
There are three main assumptions in quantitative research:
observing and explaining an occurrence, collecting information
and analyzing the information. The combination of these three
parts will result to well-defined and well-researched finding.

÷ 5 = 0.80). Ultimately, we get the following result:

From 1 to 1.80 represents (strongly disagree).

From 1.81 to 2.60 represents (do not agree).

Example:
From 2.61 to 3.40 represents (true to some extent).
Using the same data from Table 3, answer the following
From 3:41 to 4:20 represents (agree). From 4:21 to questions:
5:00 represents (strongly agree).
a. What linear equation best predicts the grade in English
The other way is to treat the selection as the range themselves, given the grade in Math?
and so we get these results:
Step 1: Compute the 𝑏 and 𝑚.
From 0.01 to 1.00 is (strongly disagree);

From 1.01 to 2.00 is (disagree);

From 2.01 to 3.00 is (neutral);

From 3.01 to 4:00 is (agree);

From 4.01 to 5.00 is (strongly agree) Step 2: Substitute the value of m and b to the regression
formula. The regression equation for predicting the grade in
English given the grade in Math is 𝑌 = 𝑋 + 1.

b. If a student made a grade of 91 in Math, what grade would

you expect the student to obtain in English?

Using the obtain equation 𝑌 = 𝑋 + 1, substitute 91 in X. 𝑌 = 91

c. How well does the regression equation fit the data?

Example:

Here’s a data of five students with their corresponding grade

(Dependent Variable). Is there a significant relationship
between the grade in Math and the grade in English?
