Unit VII Mini Project
Using the
survey that you developed in Unit III, choose 10 people in your organization to
respond to the survey. If you donot have personnel in your organization to
respond or you do not get a favorable response, then you may create
fictitiouspeople to conduct the survey. Before disseminating the surveys,
please pre-code the data (refer to Chapter 19, pp. 470-471 or follow the example
provided in the lecture).
Perform the
following:
1. Create a data file using an
Excel worksheet.
2. Compute descriptive
statistics for the variable(s), and explain the measures of central tendency
and measures ofdispersion that are most appropriate for your study. Refer to
the procedure for computing description statistics inChapter 17, p. 410 of your
textbook.
3. Create a pie chart with
percentages. Click here to view a tutorial from the Success Center on
descriptive statisticsdata and creating a histogram chart, pie chart, and other
simple graphs.
4. Compute a frequency table
and histogram for each variable. Examples are shown in Chapter 17.
5. Decide which measures of
central tendency, spread, and graphical display would be most appropriate for
thestudy.
Using the
information above, write a one- to two-page paper explaining how the data will
be analyzed. This section shouldbegin with a brief introduction to the section
and a description of the problem. You must also explain how the data will
becoded and edited. Provide justification for the descriptive statistics that
will be employed in the study. You will only need tosubmit the paper for this
assignment. Please do not include data, results, or graphical displays.
The above
activities are designed to help you explain the type of analysis that will be
performed. Remember that theproposal is futuristic.
You must
use correct APA formatting when writing your paper. All references used,
including the textbook, must be cited.
NOTE: This
assignment is part of the Unit VIII Research Proposal. This assignment must be
submitted in sequence (i.e.,Unit VII must be submitted and graded by the
professor, who will provide feedback to the student before he or she
canprogress to the Unit VIII assignment). The student assignment will be graded
according to the assigned rubric. Theprofessor will grade and annotate items
that need to be corrected by the student. This feedback from the professor
willhelp the student correct any discrepancies before compiling this assignment
to the Research Proposal. This will help the student achieve a better
review/grading for the Research Proposal.
