R = 0.715984185

R2 = 0.5126

P =0.00247

The Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.715984185, implies a moderately strong positive correlation. This corresponds to R2 of 51 percent of the variance between the variables.

Applying an alpha of 0.05, the results show that a p-value of 0.00247 < 0.05, Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted that there is a statistically significant link between the variables (Bugni & Canay, 2021).

Simple Regression: Hypothesis Testing

Ho2: There is a statistically significant relationship between the expenditure and the lost time

Ha2: There is no statistically significant relationship between the expenditure and the lost time

Annova f value = 522.6227

The Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.915447, implies a strong positive correlation. This corresponds to R2 of 83 percent of the variance between the variables.

Applying an alpha of 0.05, the results show a p-value of 0.00103 < 0.05, and ANOVA f value of 522. 6227. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted that there is a statistically significant link between the variables.

Annova f value = 270.4163

The Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.39071, implies a strong negative correlation. This corresponds to R2 of 15 percent of the variance between the variables.

Applying an alpha of 0.05, the results show that a p-value of 0.0027 < 0.05, a and Annova f value of 270.4163 (Nicholson et al, 2021). Therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted that there is a statistically significant link between the variables.
