s derived sumplh susrvey for six villages of Mand Diatndt in Himachal PradesR . Are the adoption Tate medern fedi l TABLE 1211121 TABLI! TABLE 33 Village-we Nalysis st Adoption 133 133 Source C Heuse 9tExplanation / Answer
Let x = living standard score; y = Increase in percentage adoption of fertilizer
z = Increase in percentage adoption of improved seed
The correlation coefficient between x and y = rxy = 0.99943
The correlation coefficient between x and z = rxz = 0.9552
Both correlation coefficients are very high.
So, there is evidence to suggest that the adoption rates of modern fertilizer and high yielding varieties related to the living standard of the villages. ANSWER
Values of x, y and z are given in the table below:
Village
Living Standard Score
Increase in percentage adoption of fertilizer
