Data Visualization Assignment -
Instructions: Given a dataset and the corresponding questionnaire. Task is to comb through the dataset and decide how will present some of the data. Need help to decide what is important or exciting or unique and present that information in some meaningful visual way.
The goal of this assignment is to be able to present data in a meaningful way. If you were to be working for a company and you were given this data, could you present it in a room filled with people in such a way that they completely understand it? You are free to choose what you present but you must present something that is calculated. In other words, not just the answers that are there, but something you had to get at from manipulating the data you were given. In other words, your recently acquired Excel skills need to be used!
