In this section of this work, the research hypothesis which has earlier been formulated in chapter one are now being tested accordingly so as to achieve the objective of the study. The hypothesis was tested using an appropriate statistical tool ( yamani ) and the finding will be sue to determine whether or nor the null hypothesis to be accepted or rejected

The data for testing that hypothesis was based upon a sample size of (174) which comprises kai motors staff, both management and officers.



TEST OF HYPOTHESIS
Null hypothesis: The level of awareness of total quality management is very low
Alternative hypothesis:The level of the aware of total quality management is not very low.
Test data: The data used in testing the above hypothesis were responses to question (Nul) of the questionnaire.
Level of significance: The hypothesis was tested at the 5% level of significance.
Test statistics: test statistic employed is the yamani distribution
    N
1+N(e)2
Degree of freedom
DF       = (r-1)
            = (4-1)
            = 3

COMPUTATION OF THE CRITICAL VALUE
X2        =30.08=         7.815(table of X2)
Decision Rule
Reject hi if X2 (calculate) ≥ 7.815
Accepted Hi, if X2 (calculated) ≤ 7.815

DECISION

From the above calculation, the value is 1,776 while the value X2 at the 5% level of significance is 3.841. Therefore, we accept the alternative hypothesis Hi and reject the null hypothesis Ho. We conclude by saying that the extent of application of total quality management on Kia motors are high.
