2) Identify the factor which affects the expenditure pattern of the student.
Research Methodology
Research Design:
I am conducting research on the expenditure pattern of the LPU student in which problem and objectives are defined so this is a descriptive research
in which we to find out the relationship between the variables.
POPULATION:
The purpose of the research is to identify the expenditure pattern of the student and identify the factor which affects the expenditure of the students.
Because I am conducting research on expenditure patter of LPU students so the population of my research is the student of LPU.
SAMPLING METHOD
In this research, we will use the convenient sampling. The convenient sampling is one in which the researcher according to his convenience collects
the data regarding to his research from various respondent.
SAMPLING ELEMENT
The sampling elements are those who are the respondents of my research.
SAMPLE SIZE
Sampling size refers to the number of respondent to be selected from the population to constitute a sample. This is the major problem before the
researcher. The size of the sample should neither be excessively large nor too small; it should be and must be the true representatives of the
population. That’s why I take 100 respondents for my research.
AREA OF STUDY:
My research is regarding to the expenditure of the LPU student to the area of my study is whole campus of lovely Professional University.
Sources of data: - In this research I study the primary and secondary data.
Primary data:
• Questionnaire
Secondary data:
• Books
• Journals/articles
• Newspapers
• Internet websites
Hypothesis: - In this technique we take the two assumptions null and alternative on following.
H0: µ - Factor does not affect the expenditure of student.
H1: µ - Factor is affecting the expenditure of student.
Data analysis technique: -
Factor analysis
df 325
Sig. .000
Interpretation: - These item shows that the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's test. The KMO measures the sampling adequacy which
should be greater than 0.5 for a satisfactory factor analysis to proceed. Looking at the table below, the KMO measure is 0.702 From the same table,
we can see that the Bartlett's test of sphericity is significant is 775.487. That is, its associated probability is 0.00. In fact, it is actually 325. This means
that the correlation matrix is not an identity matrix.

Interpretation: - this item shows from the output is a table of communalities which shows how much of the variance in the variables has been
accounted for by the extracted factors. For instance over 82.0% of the variance in expenditure of the student is accounted for while 76.0% of the
variance in availability of the money is accounted for.

Interpretation: - The these item shows all the factors extractable from the analysis along with their eigenvalues, the percent of variance
attributable to each factor, and the cumulative variance of the factor and the previous factors. Notice that the first factor accounts for 67.004of the
variance, the second 67.004and the third 67.004 All the remaining factors are not significant.
Interpretation: - The scree plot is a graph of the given values against all the factors. The graph is useful for determining how many factors to retain.
The point of interest is where the curve starts to flatten. It can be seen that the curve begins to flatten due to change in the factor regularly. Note also
that factor has an given value value of less than 1, so all factors have been retained.

a. 9 components extracted.
Interpretation: - The table below shows the loadings of the eight variables on the three factors extracted. The higher the absolute value of the
loading, the more the factor contributes to the variable. The gap on the table represent loadings that are less because of changing the value of the
factor which affect the expenditure of the student this makes reading the table easier.
Rotated Component Matrixa

Interpretation: - The idea of rotation is to reduce the number factors on which the variables under investigation have high loadings. Rotation
does not actually change anything but makes the interpretation of the analysis easier. Looking at the table below, we can see that availability of the
money for expenditure of the student, are substantially loaded on Factor (Component) All the remaining variables are substantially loaded on Factor
1. These factors can be used as variables for further analysis.

Conclusion: - You should now be able to perform a factor analysis and interpret the result. Many other items are produce in the output, for the
purpose of this illustration they have been ignored. Note that the correlation matrix can used as input to factor analysis. In this case you have to use
SPSS command syntax which is outside the scope of this document.
