DATA ANALYSIS AND
INTERPRETATION
ANALYSIS
 Summarizing of trends and patterns
observed in the data
 Review of major differentials
 Computation of indexes which are used in
determining relationships among variables
in a study
Analysis or write-up should be
presented before the table or graph.

Do not begin a sentence with a number.

Analyze the data in the total column

first, mentioning the highest mention
(percent), the next two or three and
then the lowest percent.

Use the figures in the percent column,

not the frequencies (numbers).
 ANALYSIS

INTERPRETATION

Analyze the columns for male and

female, y stating if there are significant
differences (more than 7%) in the
responses of the male and female
respondents

If there are no significant differences in

the responses of the male and female
respondents, you can say there are no
significant differences in the responses of
the male and female respondents on
(variables).
INTERPRETATION

inferences relevant to the research
questions
 To draw conclusions about these questions
 Seeks a broader meaning of the research
relations obtained as well as their
implications
 Thus linking to other relevant available
knowledge

1. Perhaps this is due to the fact that…

2. This is probably so because…
