The Google form was framed with linear option one as strongly disagree and five is strongly agree for each question. The google form was personally shared with our classmates, colleagues in confidence after serving 100 persons responses were downloaded in excel sheet. For each question mean, Standard Deviation, Standard Error and Z (T- Stat) were Calculated<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Data Analysis: <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Completing the survey, the collection data was subjected to financial planning awareness. The mean, Standard Deviation (SD), and Standard Error (SE) were calculated for\u00a0each survey question (Q.1 \u2013 Q.5). The mean Represents the average response on the Likert Scale, While the standard deviation provides a measure of the Variability in the responses. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
