EXAMPLE : QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS
You can choose to present the qualitative data using a pie chart or bar chart/multiple bar chart,
together with a frequency table. Comment on the graph presented.

Figure 1: Purposes for which students would most likely purchase a new device

When respondents were asked about the purposes for which they would purchase a new
device, the largest number (799, 39.3%) indicated that they would be most likely to purchase a
new device for education (see Figure 1). Only slightly fewer (722, 35.5%) indicated they would
most likely purchase a new device for their job or work. A smaller number (298, 14.6%) would
be most likely to purchase a new device for games/entertainment, and 99 (4.9%) would most
likely purchase a new device for communication purposes. The remaining 73 respondents
(3.6%) chose other purposes
EXAMPLE : QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS (Your project report should consist at least
one quantitative data report)

Student learning time (SLT). SLT is the effective learning time or student effort of learning in order
to achieve the specified learning outcomes. SLT inclusive all learning time activities (formal and
in-formal).
SLT is the total time required by student to learn a particular component of curriculum = Official
Contact Time + Guided Learning Time + Self Study Time (independent learning) + Assessment
Time.
The summary of descriptive statistics was summarized in the following table:

Table 2 : Student learning time (SLT) per day (in minutes)

1. State the mean, median and mode values and explain its meaning.

Eg: Students spent an average of 495.86 minutes which is equivalent to 8.25

hours per day, studying.

The median value is 9 hours.

2. State the value of the standard deviation, maximum value, minimum value

3. state the skewness value and explain its meaning

 Table 3 : Student learning time (SLT) per day (in minutes)

The graph gives the histogram for the distribution of the student learning time (SLT) per day. As we can
observe from the graph, 8 students included in the survey said that the spend between 451-500 minutes
of studying per day (or 53 – 58 hours per week) This is the largest amount spent by students…explain
