Print out a copy of “WEEK 4 Assign 3 Survey.”
Assume that you developed this survey instrument in the folder called
“WEEK 4 Assign 3 Survey” and sent it to a sample of ASU employees—
both faculty and staff. (You actually have two copies of the survey: 1. The
survey as it looked when you sent it out; and 2. Your summary of the
frequencies for each of the 206 responses that came back.) The return
response is noted on the form (206 people returned the survey). Your
assignment is to analyze the data from the survey instrument by computing
weighted mean scores for each of the responses on Nos. 1 and 2. Then
compute percentages for items listed in No. 3. The lecture and Power Point
presentation give detailed information on weighted means in case you have
a question.
Example: For the first set of responses under “Auto Insurance” you would
compute as follows:
74 x 4 = 296
118 x 3 = 354
12 x 2 = 24
2 x 1 = 2 TOTAL 676 / 206 = 3.28
Your Mean Score for the first item is 3.28.
Since “unfamiliar” was assigned a weight of 3, you can readily see that 3.28
falls closest to this area. In other words, most employees were unfamiliar
with the Auto Insurance benefit.
Now, compute all the rest in No. 1; then, compute all in No. 2.
For No. 3 you take each number and divide by 206 to get the percentage.
Note that 206 is the number of persons who filled out and returned the
survey. When you add all the percentages together for No. 3, they should
equal 100%. If your figures are off by 1%, round off one of the number to
make it equal 100%
