Getting data ready for analysis
Editing data – incompleteness is edited to avoid
confusions in the later stage
Handling blank responses - if minimum number of
responses are missing
 Assign the midpoint in the scale
 Ignore the blank responses
 Assign the mean value of other responses
 Assign the mean value based on his other replies
 Assign a random number in the rating scale
 Coding data
 Categorizing data
 Creating data file
 Programming
Feel for data
To get a good idea of how the respondents
have reacted to the items in the
questionnaire
Biases could be found out
It will provide credibility to all subsequent
analyses and findings
Mean
 Standard Dev.
 Correlation
 Frequency distribution
Goodness of data
Reliability – Cronbach’s alpha
 validity – eg., Factor analysis will confirm the
validity of different variables
Hypothesis Testing
Frame Null hypothesis
Alternate hypothesis
Apply appropriate statistical tools based on
‘DA & SPSS Lab’ input
Based on the results, prove or disprove the
hypothesis
Interpretation and Inference
Based on the obtained results of the
statistical tools, interpretation need to be
done
Based on the interpretation, inference has
to derived
Inference will facilitate in making decisions
