Introduction
North South University or NSU is the first private university of Bangladesh. NSU has huge cafeteria
area. NSU cafeteria serves Bangle, Chinese and fast food. There are around 20,000 students in this
university taking food service from the cafeteria of this university. As there different types of foods
with students’ different types of choice, they have their own satisfaction level on this cafeteria. Here
students get satisfaction though some factors like price, hygiene and quality. For research purpose
we have taken only two snacks (sandwich and burger) to find out whether students are satisfied by
the price of snacks.

Objectives
1. Identification of the preference price for the snacks.
2. Identify the factors influence students to buy the snacks.
3. Identification of the factors which influence the price of the snacks.

Methodology
We selected independent variable (Price preference) and dependent variable (satisfaction level) for
our research. Primary data has been used in this study. Survey has been conducted among 50
respondents using survey questionnaire.

Sample size
Our sample size is large .We have taken n=50 i.e. 50 respondent’s for our research purpose.mpling
technique.

Sampling location
NSU cafeteria and study hall

Ethical consideration
1. No harm to the person who will participate in the study.
2. Inform verbal consent from the participant will be collected.

Data Analysis
The data will be analyzed using both descriptive and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
(SPSS).

2
Limitations
1. Sample size was not estimated according to the sampling technique due to less amount of
time.
2. The questions was incomplete in such a way there is no demography data which will indicate
the participant staying area.
3. There is no data about the parent’s monthly income which is one of the influencing factor to
buy snacks.

Tests used for analysis

 Regression Analysis
 One-way ANOVA
 Correlation Analysis

Regression Analysis
We are using linear regression model equation for our research. The linear regression equation is as
follows:

Y (preference of price) =β+βX (satisfaction level) +ε

Where, Y=dependent variable (preference of price)

X=independent variable (satisfaction level)

ε =error term

Hypothesis Development
We developed a hypothesis to test the effect of price preference over satisfaction level of students.

H0: β1=0 (there is no linear relationship)

H1: β1≠0 (there is linear relationship)

ANOVA Analysis

Here, value of calculative F ratio=0.887

Numerator=1

Denominator=48

Critical value of F ratio=4.08 at 5% significance level.

Therefore, we do not reject null hypothesis at 5% significance level. There is linear relationship
between price preference and satisfaction level of respondents.

Since P value is greater than alpha we do not reject null hypothesis in excess of 35.1% significance
level.

The required equation of regression analysis is Y (preference of price) =-0.363X+3.046

Correlation Analysis

Hypothesis Development:

H0 : Ρ =0 (there is no linear relationship)

H1 : Ρ ≠0 (there is linear relationship)

Correlation analysis is the study of the relationship between variables. The chart that is used to show the

relationship between two variables graphically is called a scatter diagram. This scatter diagram shows

that there is close relationship between price preferences of respondents and satisfaction level of

respondents

For population sample rho value of correlation is very much less i.e. -0.135.It means that there is no
relation between price preference and satisfaction level of respondents.

As the P is not equal to 0, we do reject the null hypothesis at the level of 5% significant level, but
the correlation of satisfaction level and price preference are negatively related and less significant.
