Based on their responses the Satisfaction score obtained by each respondent was found out. Points or scores were allocated based on the response. For each of the factor three levels of satisfaction were assigned namely high, medium and low. For high satisfaction three points were given, for Medium two and for low satisfaction one point was given. The total scores secured by each respondent were thus arrived at. All the hundred respondents were classified based on their level of satisfaction. Those who have obtained up to 13 points were classified under low satisfaction category, Respondents with 14 – 20 points were classified under medium satisfaction category and those with more than 21 points were classified under high satisfaction category.

CHI-SQUARE TEST: Chi-square test is applied to test the goodness of fit, to verify the distribution of observed data with assumed theoretical distribution. Therefore it is a measure to study the divergence of actual and expected frequencies; Karl Pearson’s has developed a method to test the difference between the theoretical (hypothesis) & the observed value. Chi – square test (X2) = (O – E)2 / E Degrees Of Freedom = V = (R – 1) (C -1) Were, ‘O’ = Observed Frequency ‘E’ = Expected Frequency ‘R’ = Number of Rows ‘C’ = Number of Columns For all the chi-square test the table value has taken @ 5% level of significance.

CHI – SQUARE TEST IS CONDUCTED TO EXTENT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE AGE AND LEVEL OF SATISFACTION Hypothesis: Ho: There is no significant relationship between age and level of satisfaction. O
