Context


The goal of the analysis and interpretation phase of a study is to take the data that was collected and turn it into useful and usable information. There may be several different ways to interpret the data. This will require you to make fair and careful judgments. When interpreting the information you collected, look for the lessons that you learned. What did you learn about the participants? What surprised you? Did you expect any of the results? Are there issues that arose that you did not understand? These may require further, more in-depth research. Another part of analysis and interpretation will be to identify and discuss the limitations of your study.
The method chosen to present your findings should be based on the audience and purpose of your study. Graphical representations may be appropriate as well as an explanation of descriptive and inferential measures. Only make claims that the data you collected can support.

· Assessment Instructions 

For this assessment, develop a written analysis integrating your findings from the previous assessment components. Write your paper from the viewpoint that you are presenting the information to an audience that is interested in your results. Include graphical representations as well as explanation of descriptive and inferential measures, relating these components to the context of your survey. Only make claims that the data you collected can support.
The goal of your analysis and interpretation is to take the data that was collected and turn it into useful and usable information. Look for lessons that you learned from your data collection and results. What did you learn about the participants? What surprised you? Did you expect any of the results? Are there issues that arose that you did not understand? These may require further, more in-depth research. Discuss any limitations of the study.
In your paper:

1 Interpret and communicate your results to your target audience.

2 Include a brief summary of your population, sampling techniques, and survey.

3 Communicate results, interpretation, and analysis of all assessments, including graphs (circle, bar, histogram), measures of central tendency, measures of variation, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests.

· The focus should be on interpretation and analysis, rather than a summary of results. Every survey question should be addressed in your interpretation. You will not be able to comment on every little finding, so you will have to make some judgments about what might be the most interesting or revealing results.
