As a student, you are constantly balancing our anxiety levels and those can levels can build as we are preparing for test, because we anticipate what question may or may not be asked, om the test so it quiet normal to feel some anxiety sometimes during your academic career. Anxiety may even help motivate you and increase your performance or it could affect your academic performance.

In statistic when we want to determine the relationship between the dependent and independent variable we are looking for a correlations according to Argosy (2014) correlation strictly determines whether a relationship exists between the two variables under investigation relationship exist. According to Argosy (2014) the use of correlation coefficient process is to be able to make predictions based on existing positive and negative relations. However, if we know the value of one variable, that we should be able to predict the value of the other variable. It’s also important thing to remember about correlations is that whether they are negative or positive, is that they do not determine causation. In this study the variables being measured are or should be quantitative in this example, both student anxiety scores and study hours are quantitative variables meaning both anxiety and hours are represented by numerical values.
In this study we must do hypothesis testing which
