The analysis was done on discrete variable which was praise notes given to students/day. Bi-
variate correlations was used  to check the relation between total praise notes given by 
teachers and ODRs received by students who already had good ODR and rest of student body 
separately- which is the right test for two discrete variables. But before this chi-sqaure 
independence test could be done to determine if two variables were independent or not. Here 
later z test was done to check difference between independent correlations.
