From the above table it is concluded that the “r” value 0.99 indicates a strong positive relationship between salary attribute andteam spirit. T=r√(█(n-2)/(1-r^2 ))

T = 12.15

Degree of freedom= n-2

d.f=3

∴The table value at 5% level of significance is 2.353

The calculated value of t is 12.15

12.15 > 2.353

Hence,

H1 → accept

H0 → reject

INFERENCE:

There is a significant relationship betweensalary attribute and team spirit.
