		+
		+	Here is some data analysis I did (Explanation Below):
		+	[[Image:Data.png]]
		+
		+	This looks at the Computer Use questions (see chart below to convert numbers into questions).
		+	The data was anonymized and answers were first converted into numbers so Not Interested = 0 Want to Learn =1*, Not Very Important = 2 Important =3 Very Important = 4, and then added up.
		+
		+	(*This was a bit of a kludge: I treated it as having a little bit of interest but enough to have actually learned how to do it).
		+
		+	The results from this are shown in the top graph. This shows two different axis of information.
		+
		+	The left had scale and the black bars show the average score for each question showing the relative importance (the exact numbers don't matter as much as how they compare to each other).
		+
		+	The right hand scale shows total answers. The coloured bars are totals for each answer (Not interested (yellow) is at the bottom, Very important (red) at the top.
		+
		+	The bottom chart shows the [[http://www.experiment-resources.com/pearson-product-moment-correlation.html\| Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficients] for the different questions. This is basically show if there is a significant linear relationship between the two. We can use this to get some idea if peoples
		+	answers are related e.g. people who like a also like b (very roughly speaking). The higher the number the more significant the correlation. I have tied the colour to the score so the score fade out as they get less significant.
		+
		+	Caveat:I know very little about statistics. The math is good but there but there is a high chance I abusing it. I did my best to use the correct method to determine correlation for values of best that involve typing stuff in a search engine and trying to make sense of the pages that come up. However I did subsequently find a copy of Kenneth Bailey ,Methods of Social Research', New York, 1994 in the free pile and it says Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient is what is commonly used to measure correlation (which is what I was trying to measure) so hey!
