Overview

Descrip�ve sta�s�cs describes a data set. It is used to summarize and organize the data into something more manageable, ac�onable, and ready for presenta�on. It can also help

organize data and present a business problem in an understandable manner. You can use descrip�ve sta�s�cs to understand and analyze the data for your organiza�on.

The employees in your company report struggling with burnout (being overworked). You have been asked to analyze the situa�on and recommend solu�ons to reduce employee

burnout. You have access to an employee survey with employee responses related to the situa�on.

This week you will analyze the employee survey data and create bar graphs to represent the data visually. Based on your analysis, you will then create an execu�ve summary targeted

to a non-technical audience unfamiliar with sta�s�cs. See the document Module Four Survey Response Key for the responses that were available on the survey.
