Chapter 4 - Revision

The document reports the results of correlation analyses conducted between variables related to differences in scanned and estimated customer food preference values and the rate of changes in customer food preferences for two restaurants, Five Tummies and Don Trebor. For Five Tummies, the Spearman correlation was 0.231449 and Pearson correlation was 0.220019, indicating a positive yet weak relationship. For Don Trebor, the Spearman correlation was higher at 0.345897 but still weak, while the Pearson correlation was very low at 0.057138, indicating little correlation. The researcher was unsatisfied with the overall results which suggested only weak or insignificant connections between the variables for both restaurants.

The results obtained show that the Spearman correlation values for Five

Tummies and Don Trebor yielded 0.231449 and 0.345897 respectively. Five Tummies

only earned 0.231449 which could be interpreted as the relationship between the

absolute difference of scanned and estimated values equated to the rate of changes

towards a wiser food preference of the customers was slightly correlated. While on Don

Trebor, it generated a 0.345897 which implied a moderate interaction with the said

variables.

To further test the association of the variables which are the absolute difference

between the scanned and estimated values and the rate of changes on the food

preference of the customers, the researchers used Pearson’s test which could be an

alternative for Spearman in verifying relationships. The findings in this test in particular

were 0.220019 and 0.057138 for Five Tummies and Don Trebor. The results present

insignificant to slight correlation between the two variables. The researchers were not

satisfied with the given results due to the categorization of insignificant to weak

connections of the variables. Meaning, the interconnection of the variables has

relationships on both restaurants but these relationships were deliberated as not

significant.
In this result, the Spearman correlation between Five Tummies’ customer rate

and level of certainty is 0.231449, which stipulated a positive yet relationship between

the variables. On the other hand, Pearson’s correlation is 0.220019 which indicated that

one variable is weakly correlated with changes in the second variable.

The Spearman correlation between Don Trebor’s customer rate and level of

certainty is 0.345897, which stipulated a positive yet weak relationship between the

variables. Pearson’s correlation is 0.057138 which indicated that one variable is not

correlated with changes in the second variable.

In conclusion, Spearman method would be used as the main analysis of the data

because of its flexibility that could identify relationship with tie ranks. Don Trebor had a

closer relationship between the two variables compared to Five Tummies.

Unfortunately, the researcher was not satisfied enough with the results because it only

earned a positive yet weak correlation in general.
