Since the significant value is less than 0.5 and

the correlation cofficient is negative so the null

hypothesis is accepted. Hence we can say that there is no

correlation between quality and price.

Recommendations

•The company should improve quality of the product as they should make the edge of the sheets strong so that the retailers could fully replace Local Plywood by MDF.

•The company should launch its exterior product so that they can maximize their market share.

•The company should promote MDF more because the retailers are not aware of the quality and features of MDF.
