Table 7 shows that; this was indicated by the P-value that the evaluation
on the inventory management group by their age to be significant for it was lower
the significance level 0.05 and with the F value that is lower than the critical
value. Hence we reject the null hypothesis, and there is a significant difference in
the assessment of the respondents on the factors affecting the effectiveness of
Inventory management according to their age.
