Following the data collection, the researchers will analyze the data using the statistical

treatment of the dependent sample T-test and Pearson’s R. According to the Academic Success
Center (ASC), Dependent sample T-test is used to compare sample means or averages from two
similar groups. This statement means that the scores for both groups were acquired from the
same individuals. In this investigation, the researchers will first test the air quality of the smoke
emitted by the vehicle without the product in terms of carbon dioxide (CO ) amount, 2

formaldehyde (CH O) amount, and total volatile organic compound (TVOC). Following that, the
2

researchers will then install the prototype with 100 grams of water hyacinth activated charcoal,
then 150 grams, and lastly, 200 grams. After gathering the data, they will compute the mean of
both the two groups and then apply the dependent sample T-test to see if there is a significant
difference between the two means or the data being measured. In this case, the researchers will
use alpha at 0.05 and the formula for dependent sample T-test below:

After that process, the researchers will then proceed to the next statistical treatment,
Pearson’s R. According to an article created by Statistics Solutions, this is a test statistic for
determining the statistical relationship, or association, between two continuous variables.
Because it is based on the concept of covariance, it is recognized as the best approach for
quantifying the correlation between variables of interest. In this case, the researchers will utilize
this method in order to know and pinpoint the relationship between the amount of water hyacinth
activated charcoal (WHAC) in the container and the number of air pollutants present in the
vehicle’s fumes. In this case, the researchers will use alpha at 0.05 and the formula for Pearson’s
R below:

n ∑ xy −( ∑ x )( ∑ y )
r=

The researchers will also examine the vehicle owner's opinion on the prototype's
functionality, quality, and durability and overall satisfaction using a rating scale. They will then
calculate and evaluate the overall average of the responses to see if the device satisfied the
vehicle owners in Cabuyao City. In this case, the researchers will use the formula:
