Assignment:
Descriptive Statistics: Discuss some issues and problems in your individual team members' work settings that could be addressed in a quantitative research project. Apply one type of descriptive statistics to an actual set of data that could be used for documentation in a research plan. Choose a chart, a graph, line graph, or a frequency distribution that would best show the data and explain why this was the best method to illustrate the data's characteristics. You may calculate the correlation coefficient, if appropriate to the issue you are exploring. Discuss the selected issue or problem and explain the rationale for your team's choice.
