  1. Interpretation: correlation coefficient r = 0.419166 p-value < 0.05, r = 0.568597 p-value < 0.05, r = 0.601639 p-value < 0.05. r> 0.3 shows a moderate association and r> 0.5 shows a strong association between Dengue Fever vs No of Aedes Mosquito, Humidity, and Rainfall respectively while r= -0.46593 p-value < 0.05 shows a negative association between Dengue Fever vs temperature
  2. These results suggest that as the number of Aedes Mosquito, humidity, and rainfall increase, the incidence of Dengue Fever also tends to increase. In contrast, as temperature increases, the incidence of Dengue Fever tends to decrease
