INTRODUCTION
In present research study data related to those who receive CBT treatment is analysed by
using varied tools. Main aim of the study is to identify whether changes that are observed due to
CBT in patient behaviour remain same one month and 6 months after competition of CBT or
better results are seen after 6 months of receipt of CBT. Focus is also on identifying whether
socio economic factors and gender lead to intake of more alcohol and drug. Excessive
consumption of these two may also lead to development of habit of gambling among individuals.
Hypothesis was that CBT results vary after receiving treatment in first and sixth month.
Hypothesis was that socio economic and gender factor promote intake of drug and alcohol.
Relevant techniques are applied to test this hypothesis. In this way, entire research is carried out.
Methods
There are number of statistical methods that are used for analysing business data. In the
present research study, multiple techniques are used like regression and independent sample t
test. Regression is the one of the most important approach used to find out dependent and
independent relationship between variables (Little. and Rubin., 2019). This tool reflect extent to
which dependent variable is affected by the independent variable. Whether independent variable
affect dependent variable to great extent or moderately. Independent sample T test are used in
case where there are multiple independent variables. In this tool specific number of variables are
tested against the specific categorical variable. Thus, it can be said that by using most relevant
tool data analysis can be done in better way.
Results
Gender and gambling disorder after diagnosis
H0: There is no significant difference between male and female in respect to level of gambling
disorder found among them after diagnosis.
H1: There is significant difference between male and female in respect to level of gambling
disorder found among them after diagnosis.

Independent sample T test is used to identify whether there is significant difference
between variables namely gender and level of gambling disorder after diagnosis. From the above
