Write a short survey (8 to 10 questions) that is related to careers in general, careers in IT, or another occupational topic. Remember, this survey should somehow relate to your final project . Distribute this survey to at least four relatives and/or friends who are at least 18 years of age. Include a disclaimer in the survey that indicates it is for a school project, no name is needed from the individual, and the results are confidential. (See the Survey Example below.)
When you receive your surveys back, analyze the data in both summary and graphical form. Your summary should be 500 to 1,000 words. Put the original survey, summary, and graph into one document and post it to your Assignments forum.

How can I help you with this assignment?
I am confused about the analyzing and Data
Do you have any data to analyze yet? Have you finished distributing the survey yet?
no I am not quite done with that, could you give me an example and I will go from there?
It sounds as if you haven't circulated your survey yet -- or maybe haven't even written it.
Once you write up your 8-10 questions, you can repost if you want people's input.
If you have the survey but haven't circulated it, please do so and get responses before you post again.
Thanks.

I have not received all of my surveys back yet, I am just confused on how to analyze this and make the data?
You can't analyze it until you get all the surveys back. Let us know when you do.
Be sure to tell us all the questions you asked, as well as the survey results. No one will be able to help you without that information.
