5.1INTRODUCTION
The reason of the data analysis and interpretation phase is to transmute the
data collected into reliable evidence. In this research the data was collected
from the research and development department of automotive companies,
both component manufacturer and the Automobile manufacturer. Data
analysis can be qualitative as well as quantitative but in this research effort
has been made to use only the quantitative data.

Levenes test indicate show that p =0.003 which is less than the assumed level
of significance of 0.005 therefore we go with the equal variances not assumed
for Request for Proposal impact.
An independent sample t test revealed that conversions of RPF does not have an
effect on generating new business opportunities (t(4.208) = 1.048, p = 0.351).
We can be 95% confident that the true difference between these means is CI = [0.8651, 1.947]

significance of 0.05 therefore we go with the equal variances assumed for Business
Cycle time impact.
An independent sample t test revealed that Business Cycle time has an effect on

The histogram of the regression analysis indicates that the Mean = 0.00 with a
SD=0.952 and falls well within the range of 3 Sigma deviation.
Hence the derived regression equation for the dependent variable brand loyalty
is as follows;
