The chi-square test is a use the measure of comparing experimentally obtained result with those expect. The oriented and based on the Hypothesis. It is as test static provides a set of theoretical frequencies are compared. Chi-Square test is a non-parametric test used most frequently by marketing researcher to test the hypothesis. A hypothesis is a statement about the population parameter. It is a conclusion tentatively drawn on logical basis. Testing a hypothesis a procedure that helps us to ascertain the likely of hypothesized population parameter being correct by making use of sample statistic.

The chi-square is computer on the basis of frequented in a sample and thus the value of chisquare so obtained is a statistic.

The objective of chi-square test is to determine if real or signification difference exist among various groups it is applied to test the models between the attributed when the sample data is presented in the from of a contingency table with any number of rows and columns.

Chi-square can be defined by a formula as

X2 = (Oi Ei)2/Ei Where Oi Ei = Observed frequency of the event = Expected frequency of the event

STEPS INVOLVED

Set up the null hypothesis models between the attributed alternate hypothesis. STEP 1 Calculate all expected frequencies i.e. for all values of I = 1,2,3, n.

STEP 2 Take the difference between each observed frequency Oi and the corresponding expected frequencies Ei for each value.

STEP 3 Square each difference for each value of I, i.e. calculate (Oi-Ei) for all values of I = 1,2,3, n.

STEP 4 Divide each square difference by the corresponding expected frequency i.e. calculate X2 = (Oi Ei)2/Ei

STEP 5 Concluding the hypothesis this accepted or rejecting Ho.

It is calculated value of X2 < tabulated value X2 then accept null hypothesis. It is calculated value of X2 > tabulated value X2 then reject null hypothesis.

2.5 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Due to time constraints the researcher taken only limited sample 07-75 respondents. The sample were taken only in scattered localities and not from the throughout city. Absence of the respondents at home may have resulted in another member of the family giving
