DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
The data, after collection, has to be processed and
analysis in accordance with the outline laid down for the
purpose at the time of developing the research plan. This
is essential for a scientific study and for ensuring that we
have all relevant data for making contemplated
comparisons an analysis. Technically speaking, processing
implies editing, coding, classification and tabulation of
collected data so that they are amenable to analysis. The
term analysis refers to the computation of certain
measures along with searching for patterns of relationship
that exit among data-groups. Thus, “in the process of
analysis, relationships or differences supporting or
conflicting with original or new hypotheses should be
subjected to statistical tests of significance to determine
with what validity data can be said to indicate any
conclusions”. Analysis of data in a general way involves a
number of closely related operations which are
performed with the purpose of summarizing the collected
data and organizing these in such a manner that they
answer the research question(s).
Interpretation means an adequate exposition of
the true meaning of the material presented in terms of
the purpose of the study being reported and of the
chapter and section topic involved.
