Paper: Data Analysis

(Approx 4 pages) - In this paper, you will analyze the data collected in your survey.  Another name for this step is Data Reduction.  In other words, you will take the data you collected and “reduce” it to meaningful patterns or themes.  You may use Microsoft Excel for the basic Statistical (Spreadsheet) Analysis.

Also consider using pie charts or graphs to illustrate important trends in your data.

c. Statistical Analysis: (Discuss your analysis of survey trends and outcomes.)

d. Response Patterns and/or Themes.

E. Summary: (Give your thoughts on the data obtained and what it potentially means for the organization or population.)
