F. Conclusion:
The x computed value of 10.556 is lesser than the x tabular value
of 16.919 at 0.05 level of significance with 9 degrees of freedom in which
h is accepted. This leads to the confirmation of the research hypothesis
which means there is no significant relationship that exist between the
number of sleep and body-mass index among young adults ages 19 -30.
It implies that short sleep duration is not associated with obesity and it
is necessary to identify other new approaches that might also affect the
development of; and could be used in prevention of obesity.
