task 4 answer to research questions

To answer the 5 questions:
1.     the most popular games console in the class and the top 5 games
2.     the radio station that people listen to and their favourite DJ
3.     the number of times people visit the cinema and what film they last saw
4.     how many people have a satellite televison and how many hours they watch in an average week
5.     which social networking site people use and how many contacts they have

I collected my data , by putting down  each question and underneath i put different boxes for them to tick, this is called quantitative data. For other questions which is classed as qualitative data , i gave them a box to put there answer in .

I collected my answers, by being given a ready made questionnaire from mr Raymond, the class then had to fill it out and then the class shared their data which is how I got mine.

 Afterwards I recorded my answers onto an excel spreadsheet. I put each question and possible answers in columns one after each other. Afterwards for each persons questionnaire, I put the data in by using a ‘y’ to represent a tick , and wrote there qualitative questions in longer columns.

I then collated this data by ordering it by using data sort, for specific information I needed to answer the five questions. The quantitative data, was easy to count up,  however the qualitative data took much longer
