CHAPTER ONE

1. INTRODUCTION

       This project work is about the statistical analysis of the consumption of cigarette and alcoholic drinks in tertiary institution (A case study of Federal Polytechnic Nekede). It consists of five chapters. Chapter one deals with the preliminary part, which includes needs for title study, aims and objectives, scope of the study, sources of data and problem encountered during data collection.

       Chapter two deals with review of related literature that is previous researches relating to the study.  Chapter three deals with  research methodology which includes sources of data, sampling frame, method of data collection, reason for stratification, pilot survey, method of distributing questionnaires for main survey, the general format for  Chi-square using contingency table among others.

       Chapter four deal with analysis involving frequency distribution bar and pie charts, estimation of the student average weekly expenditure on drinking and smoking, to determine whether the expenditure rate on drinking is due to age, to find out if the  student opinion on the effects of smoking is independent of drinking  habits and so on. Chapter five deals with summary, conclusion and recommendation.

1. NEEDS FOR TITLE STYDY

       Despite all the advertisement from the Federal Ministry of Health, television programmes and lectures from seminars about the dangers of alcoholism and cigarette smoking, a reasonable number of people in the society still indulge in this habit.

       This study will investigate the extent of student indulgence in smoking/drinking as well as examine the students’ expenditure on consumption of these consumer items.

       The out come of this investigation will serve as a deterrent factor to non-consumer students who have the intention of starting it.  It will also help the school authority to avoid setting up kiosks around the school premises where such items are being sold.
