Reporting
There is an art in reporting survey results.
Surveys can provide lots of information in a vast number of tables. The data analyst needs to sift through the various tabulations that can be done and select those that provide the most valuable information.
Then he/she needs to decide whether to present results in tabular or graphical form. Graphical presentations are useful when the author wishes to demonstrate trends, but they do not give precise information on mean values nor, when included, also their standard errors. A good report will use both methods of presentation.
