As a Human Resource Manager I am one of many chosen to conduct a global research for American Intellectual Union. This research is covering one of most important areas in our business world today, “Job Satisfaction”. Job satisfaction implies doing a job one enjoys, doing well, and being suitably rewarded one’s efforts. It is directly link to productivity as well as to person well bell being (George, Jones 2009). In my research I choose the qualititative data gender and the qualitative data age. This research was done with 25 employee’s age ranging from 16 to 65.

1.My qualitative data is age, using age only the mode formula can be used from the central tendencies. The mode is the value that occurs the most in the sequence of numbers. (Bluman, 2008)

Formula: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2

Since the number one occurs more often, the number one is the mode.

2.The quantitative data I used from the data sheet is age. The age was broken down into three categories 16-21, 22-49, 50-65. With the qualitative data being age I’ll use all three central tendencies.

a.Means is found by adding values of the data and dividing by the total number of values (Bluman, 2008).

Formula: X=3+1+3+2+1+1+2+1+2+2+2+3+2+2+1+3+1+2+1+3+2+2+3+1+3=48

48/25=1.92

b.Mode is the value that occurs the most in the sequence of numbers. (Bluman, 2008) Here there are eight employee in the age range 16-21, eleven employees 22-49 and six between 50 -65.

Formula: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3

The number two (age 21-29) shows up more frequently, which makes it the mode.

3.Median is the number that is in the middle, which is the number (2).

4.Standard Deviation is a four step process.
