The time period is the period in which the registration began from the month of March of 2015 and the data was collected during the period from 1/4/2017 to 5/5/2017. Analytical Methods and Statistical Processes Analysis Techniques: The researcher relied on both qualitative and quantitative analysis methods and according to the design of this study and in line with its objectives and questions and the corresponding hypotheses. Based on the scientific method used in the descriptive approach and the type and nature of field data, Collect, validate, encode, create a database, then unpack and analyze it by relying on the Statistical Package for Social Silences to access valuable indicators and indicators that support the study. Iterative tables simple and composite measures of central tendency, especially arithmetic means, and standard measures of dispersion Calanhrav, in addition to making some important analyzes that the researcher saw an image made for a total college or results of the measure, such as the relative strength.
