Every level relates to a specific amount of money to cover the costs of those sports activities. The article is based on the scientific research using the statistical methods.

In the following construction of the probability density curve used the multitudes of the values in the interval. Determining correlation between the monthly family income [Euro] and monthly family costs devoted to the sports activities [Euro], using Pearson’s correlation coefficient proved that monthly family income does not correlate with costs devoted to the sports activities.
