1 INTRODUCTON
The process of gathering and analyzing accurate data from various sources to find
answers to research problems, trends and probabilities, etc., to evaluate possible
outcomes is Known as Data Collection
The data collection methods used in educational research have originated from
a variety of disciplines (anthropology, history, psychology, sociology), which
has resulted in a variety of research frameworks to draw upon
The Objective of this individual student project is to collect data of A-level/
intermediate/ HSSC second-year students pre-engineering majors, analyze their
future plans, and apply statistical techniques to display the results in graphs and
charts. Based on the findings, students will be able to comment on the future plans
of students and understand the trends in their career choices.
Type of Data:
There are two types of data:
Qualitative Data
Quantitative Data
Whether the research design is qualitative, quantitative or mixed-methods, it will
determine the methods or ways you use to collect data. Qualitative research designs
focus on collecting data that is relational, interpretive, subjective, and inductive; whereas
a typical quantitative study, collects data that are deductive, statistical, and objective.
In contrast, qualitative data is often in the form of language, while quantitative data
typically involves numbers. Quantitative researchers require large numbers of
participants for validity, while qualitative researchers use a smaller number of
participants.

2 Methodology:
Before doing anything first of all we collect the data of different A-level/
intermediate/ HSSC second-year students pre-engineering majors using the help of
google form in which we ask students about their different thing:
Name, Age, Email, Mobile Number, Field of Interest (What field they are studying
after college),
Future Plans (What is their future plans /jobs/field or they want to be in future), Reasons
(Why they want to choose particular field).
After collecting data we assemble the data in the excel sheet and with the help of the data
we do our statistics outcomes like mean, mode, median, range, mid-range, variance and
standard deviation.
After that we analyze the data and create graphs and charts which includes (Pie or Bar
graph, Histogram, Scatter Diagram, Line chart) accordingly.

3 CALCULATION
We used various statistical techniques to analyze/ calculate the data. These are:
Mean of sample:
Mean = Sum of all values (Age) / Number of Age
x = ∑x / n
x = 400/ 20
= 20
Mode of sample:
Mode according to this project is 20 (mode is most repeated value in project)
Median of sample:
Median = Number of Ages + 1 / 2
x͂ = (n + 1)/ 2
= (20 + 1)/2
= 10.5 = 11th Value which is (22)
Range:
Range: Highest + lowest
Range = H - L
= 22 - 18
=4
Mid-Range:
Mid-Range = (Highest – Lowest)/ 2
= (H + L)/ 2
= (22 + 18)/ 2
= 20
Sample Variance:
Sample Variance =
S2 = ((8065) – ((400)2/20))/ 20 - 1
S2 = 3.421
8
Standard Deviation:
S = √S2
= √ (3.421)
= 1.849
Cumulative Frequency:
