Statistics Project Part One

Data statistics can be rather interesting that it can give a researcher the answers they are

looking for from the data that they have collected regarding a certain research they may be

doing (Jackson, 2017). With this research being conducted they are wanting to know about the

happiness in the workplace so the data was gathered regarding the gender, age, relationship with

coworkers, relationship with direct supervisor, telecommute schedule, workplace happiness

rating and, workplace engagement rating. By taking the variability and central tendency

measurements and breaking those down it will give you data statistics. For this particular set of

data when it has to do with the gender it is shown that there are more males then females, there

is a 15 year age range and that is from the age of 25-40. When you calculate the gender and age

range it can give you an idea that there were basically middle age males that participated. With

the relationship with direct supervisor this was shown as 4 being the happiest and 1 not happy at

all. From the data it shows that most of the people who were in this research have a positive

relationship with their supervisor. The data regarding telecommuting that was collected showed

that basically very few had access to this. The coworkers and their work relationship did not

show very good data as it is showing that they basically do not have work relationships with

their coworkers. The data collected regarding work happiness showed that most of the workers

are happy with the work place and the workplace engagement rating showed that most chose an

8 out of 1-10 so it would be interpreted that most are happy with the workplace.
