t- Value Tabulate at level (α ≤ 0.05) (1.670)
t- Value Tabulate was calculated based on Assumption mean to item that (3).
Table (4-3) clarifies the importance level of brand elements, where the arithmetic means range between (2.85 – 3.07) compared with general arithmetic mean amount of (2.96). We observe that the highest mean for the item "I respect this brand” with arithmetic mean (3.07), standard deviation (1.183). The lowest arithmetic mean was for the item "This brand is very faithful” with Average (2.85) and Standard deviation (1.268). In general, it appears that the Importance level of Brand image in companies under study from the study sample viewpoint was Median.

t- Value Tabulate at level (α ≤ 0.05) (1.670)
t- Value Tabulate was calculated based on Assumption mean to item that (3).
Table (4-4) clarifies the importance level of Customer satisfaction, where the arithmetic means range between (2.71- 3.16) compared with General Arithmetic mean amount of (2.91). We observe that the highest mean for the item " I think I did a right thing that I selected my telecommunication company” with arithmetic mean (3.16), standard deviation (1.154). The lowest arithmetic mean was for the item "website/webpage Offers several services to choose from in a category” with Average (2.71) and Standard deviation (1.201). In general, it appears that the importance level of customer satisfaction in companies under study from the study sample viewpoint was high.
(4-3): Analysis adequacy of the data to test the study hypotheses Before testing the study hypotheses, the researcher conducts some important tests to ensure the data adequacy for the regression assumption analysis as follows:
Variance Inflation Factor (VIF), this test used to measure how the multicollinearity can inflate the variance of regression, the coefficient should not exceed a value of (10).
Tolerance used to test the multicollinearity between independent variables, tolerance value should be greater than (0.05).
Skewness conducted in order to test that the data follow normal distribution, Skewness value is less than (1.0). Sekara, (2003)

According to the result shown in table (4-8), there is no Multicollinearity between the independent variables, this is confirmed from the values of variance inflation factor (VIF) of the dimensions are (1.251) , respectively, less than (10) . As can be seen, this is an indication that there is no Multicollinearity between the independent variables While to make sure that the data follow a normal distribution the researcher calculates the Skewness coefficient and the values were less than (1)
(4-3-2): Dependability of Dependent Variable:
Multiple regressions assume that variables have normal distributions. This means that errors are normally distributed, and that a plot of the values of the residuals will approximate a normal curve.
(4-4) Hypotheses Testing
The researcher in this part tested the hypotheses, through Multiple and simple Linear Regression analyses with (F) test using ANOVA table and path analysis as follows:
(4-5): First Main Hypothesis
H1: Social media marketing has a positive direct impact on brand image in Jordanian telecommunication companies at the level (α ≤ 0.05).
To test this hypothesis, the researcher uses the simple regression analysis to ensure the direct effect of Social media marketing on brand image in Jordanian telecommunication companies at the level (α ≤ 0.05). As shown in Table (4-10).

*The impact is significant at level (α≤ 0.05) * (n-1 = 181) * (T tabulated = 1.96)
From table (4-10) the researcher observes that there is a positive direct effect of Social media marketing on brand image . The (R) was (0.542) at level (α≤ 0.05), whereas the (R²) was (0.294). This means the (0.294) of brand image in Jordanian
telecommunication companies results from the changeability in Social media marketing. As (Beta) was (0.542) this means the increase of Social media marketing will increase on brand image in Jordanian telecommunication companies (0.542). Confirms significant impact (F) Calculate was (73.232) and its significance at level (α
≤ 0.05), and accepted hypothesis:
