RESEARCH ANALYSIS
LIST OF STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES
There are various sampling techniques available for market research, but we selected the following for our analysis:
1. Chi-square – It is useful in analysing cross tabulations of the survey data. Since it can tell us whether there is a statistical difference between the segments in how they answered the question
