TEST OF HYPOTHESES
To test the hypothesis we choose chi square test.

H1 : There is a significant relationship between

safety and security at work place and women. a) Calculated chi square value is 11.11 which is greater than the tabulated value 3.84 at 5% level of significance. b) Therefore the null hypothesis is rejected and hence there is a relationship between security and safety and women.

 H2: there is a significant relationship between

stress free environment and women. a) Calculated chi square value is 11.16, which is greater than the tabulated value of 5.99 at 5% level of significance. b) Therefore the null hypothesis is rejected and hence there is relationship between women and stress free environment at work place.
