? Coefficient & Hypothesis Testing: On the basis of above table 3 we can see that examination cause 36 % positive variation on the performance so we can say that H3 i.e. there is relationship between performance and examination stress, financial stress cause 5% , law and order situation cause 60 % and political situation cause 24 % on the study of the students.
