Correlation and regression

Objective
To identify the relationship between preference and nutrition, preference and taste,preference
and preservation quality.
Justification
All the variable are on interval scale(quantitative), so we will use correlation.
Hypothesis
H0:There is no significant relationship between preference and nutrition, preference and taste,
preference and preservation quality.(r=0)
There is a significant relationship(r≠0)

** Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

Interpretation
Here p<a/2, for all the combinations i.e. preference and preservation quality, so we reject the null
hypothesis. Thereafter we conclude that there is a significant relationship between all the
variables.
Here the correlation between preference and
To identify the impact of independent variable i.e. nutrition value, taste and preservation quality
on dependent variable i.e. preference.
All the variable are on interval scale so we can use regression analysis.
