STATISTICS AND RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

1. The hypothesis to be tested :

H0: =1=2=3=4 H1: 1234

2. Sector selected :
I have selected FMCG sector as this is a competitive and most commonly used products making sector in INDIA.

3. Companies selected :
I have selected the 5 countries in FMCG sector which has major contribution in this sector in India. The companies are 1.ITC, 2. HUL, 3. COLGATE, 4.P & G., 5.Emani.

4. Time period for data collection :

As I have taken the Net Profits of these 5 companies for consecutive 5 years for the month of March starting from 07 to March, 11. The profit figures are in Crores.

7.Conclusion :
We have calculated values from ANOVA for F critical and F calculated at 5 % significance level. As the value of F calculated is less than the value of F critical. So, the null hypothesis we have used for analysis of profits of 5 companies is accepted. Through which we came to know Companies from the same sector perform in a similar way.
