- Kolson, a Pakistani snacks company, wanted to introduce a new biscuit brand called "Bravo!" in the growing cookie market. - The study aimed to determine what factors could affect market acceptance of the new Bravo! brand. These factors included product quality, familiarity, branding, pricing, and marketing communications. - A hypothesis was made that higher product quality would lead to greater market acceptability. Surveys were conducted and data analysis found a strong positive correlation between product quality and market acceptance. Therefore, the hypothesis that product quality impacts acceptance was supported.

HYPOTHESES TESTING - 1 In the hypothesis testing we are just taking one variable and trying to prove it that is the variable of the product quality. Product Quality (X) Market Acceptance (Y) XY X 2 Y 2 42 27 19 25 06 10 07 06 09 03 420 189 114 225 18 1764 729 361 625 36 100 49 36 81 09 X = 119 Y = 35 XY = 966 X 2 = 3515 Y 2 = 275
HYPOTHESES TESTING - 2 r = n XY (X)( Y) {nX 2 ( x) 2 }{n Y 2 - ( Y) 2 } r = 5 (966) (119)(35) {5(3515)-(119) 2 }{5 (275)-(35) 2 } r = 0.93 Hypothesis Testing of Population Co-Relation .
HYPOTHESES TESTING - 3 Step 1: Null hypothesis and alternative Ho: There is no relation between, the higher product quality and the market acceptance. H1: Higher the product quality; the more effective will be the product acceptability in the market. Step 2: Level of Significance Level of Significance = 5%
HYPOTHESES TESTING 4 Step 3: Test Statistics As, n < 30 t = 1 r 2 n - 2 r t = 1 (0.93) 2 5 - 2 0.93 t = 4.3827
HYPOTHESES TESTING 5 Step 4: Critical Region level of significance 5% / 2 = 0.025 degree of freedom = d f = 5 2 = 3 t (0.025, 3) t crit = 3.182 (from table) Step 5: Conclusion 4.3827 > 3.182 t cal > t crit Whenever t cal value is greater than t - table value we reject H o . H 1 is accepted so it means that there is positive relationship between Product Quality and its Acceptance in the Market.
RECOMMENDATIONS Kolsons Bravo! customer is satisfied with its quality; there is no problem in this regard. These are my recommendations to Kolsons management: Retain the quality of the product. Keep working on new ways to enhance product quality. Diagnose some other variable incase of product failure in the market.
THANKYOU
