INTERPRETATION: By correlation tool we found that is a close approach between occupation of the respondents and price of MRF tyres. Conclusion:

Since the calculated value is less than table value and hypothesis is proved. So there is significant difference between occupation and mode purchase. All groups of people are not satisfied regarding occupation and mode purchase.
