Winter Survey class results

  I thought it would be easier to visualize my results if I actually presented them in a tangible manner. I recently conducted a survey comparing the results of how my individual classmates feel about the Winter Season. I asked a series of eight different questions and had them give their answers on a scale from 1-5 (1 being very poor and 5 being excellent). As is clearly displayed on the chart above, a total of thirteen of my classmates completed the survey with varying results. After I calculated the number of responses for each question and its multiple degrees on the number scale I proceeded to tally the votes and compute their averages. 1=23%, 2=7%, 3=21%, 4=24%, and 5=26%. After doing this I realized that the information I was seeking was not readily available in the way I completed it. So, I therefore took the totals of all the ones and twos combined which equaled 30 or 30%. In doing this I was able to see that 30% of my class detests Winter. I then decided to do the same thing for the result of all the fours and fives. After computing the sum I came up with 50 or 50%. Half of my technology class enjoys the winter months and the characteristics that accompany it.
