Summarizing and Presenting Data

In week two, Team B evaluated the surveyed data collected by Ballard Intergraded Managed Services, Inc. employee’s to determine the reasons for low morale and high employee turnover rate. In week three, Team B will summarize the data collected by using descriptive statistics in the form of charts and graphs.

Using different graphs and charts, such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and proportion to explain the data collected helps explain the results to upper management.

Finding the mean for the survey scores involves discovering the average of the results from the accumulated employees’ responses from questions one through ten.

In addition, the employees rank in the negative potion of enjoying the assigned shifts and do not have fulfillment of the request with hours.
