RESEARCH TOPIC

Our research topic is “Browser War”. It talks about the browser using by people in India. It talks about the browser widely used by the public. The topic which we were given was an article named ‘Browser War: It’s Chrome vs. Internet Explorer in India’ by Mr. Viraj Desai in Economic Times dated July 22, 2010.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is the search engine giant in the Indian internet space, according to a leading web statistics tracker.

The Indian market share of IE, the world leader in browsers, has fallen down from 58.5% to 47.7% - a loss of almost 10%.

IE is losing its hold on the browser market to other browsers especially to Google’s Chrome.

POPULATION &SAMPLE DESCRIPTIONNameAge GroupOccupationInternet Usage

DATA COLLECTIONMETHODOLOGYSurvey.Convenient Sampling.

HYPOTHESISNull Hypothesis:

◦H0 : Internet Explorer’s market share is constant.

Alternative Hypothesis:◦H1: Internet Explorer’s market share

is decreasing.

FINDINGSThe Hypothesis has been tested

using two different questions asked in the questionnaire.

In both the cases Z-Test Of Hypothesis – Single Population using Sample Proportion is used.

The findings of both the tests have been described below.

Row LabelsCount of Which Internet browser

you use?

Google Chrome 61.11%Internet Explorer 6.94%

Mozilla Firefox 27.78%

Other 4.17%

Grand Total 100.00%

TEST OF HYPOTHESISFor 1ST Question’s Data

The data was collected on the basis of the Browser used by the respondents from the sample.

Observed Hypothesized

0.069 0.53 p (as

decimal)

5/72 38/72 p (as

fraction)

4.968 38.16 X

72 72 n

• H0 (NH): Internet Explorer is losing its users.

• H1 (AH): Internet Explorer is not losing its

users.

Using ‘Test of Hypothesis for Single

Population’

with Sample Proportion we get the

following results.

• Std. Error () : 0.588

• Z = 7.84

• p-value = 2.33

As the p-value is greater than the 0.05,

We Accept H0.

Conclusion:

We can say that Internet Explorer is losing

the number of users.

Row Labels Count of In future, if you are willing to change which browser do you prefer?

Google Chrome 54.17%

Internet Explorer 9 11.11%

Mozilla Firefox 27.78%

TEST OF HYPOTHESISFor 5th Question’s Data

The data was collected on the basis of the Browser the respondents wants to switch to.

Observed Hypothesized

0.11 0.48 p (as decimal)

8/72 35/72 p (as fraction)

7.92 34.56 X

72 72 n

• H0 (NH): People will switch to Other Browser.

• H1 (AH): People will not switch to Other Browser.

Using ‘Test of Hypothesis for Single Population’

with Sample Proportion we get the following

results.

• Std. Error () : 0.589

• Z = 6.28

• p-value = 1.65

As the p-value is greater than the 0.05,

We Accept H0.

Conclusion:

We can say that people may switch to any

other browser than Internet Explorer.

FINAL CONCLUSIONFrom the conclusion of both the

tests we can say that Internet Explorer is loosing its market share to other Browsers, mainly to Google Chrome which is currently the most widely used browser in India.
