Case Study 4.0

1.      [Chiara] How could Mussie and Ellie find out whether old people do more for charity than younger people?
They could look at some information on the internet and make a graph about them on the Microsoft Excel series.

2.      [Hansel] Why does Mussie think that these data prove him right? Why might Ellie think that these data do not prove him right?
I guess because maybe the majority of website gives the same prices or almost same, I think they picked the best ones. Cause most likely they will find surveys.

3.      [Shaun] What questions should they ask?
They should ask how much they are donating, how much time they will spend on charity work and they should ask how many times they have donated in their whole life.
    
4.      [Hansel] How many questionnaires should they hand out? Who do you think should fill in their questionnaire?
I think they should hand out the questionnaires to all the people who donate, as much as they can to get the total amount of money they get, instead of counting it manually, since this is estimation and It will be very hard to find the donations for every single section. In fact, it is just estimation and this is just donation, you wouldn’t want the exact one, as long as you know how much they earn. I think it won’t be different.
   
5.      [Chiara] Which software could Mussie and Ellie use to put the computer? How can they check that the data are correct? How could they reduce the number of errors in the data? What problems might there be if the data were typed in incorrectly?
They could use the Microsoft Office “Excel” series. They should check the data before they submit it, if any errors are found in the data, people would not understand the situation going on.

     
6.      [Shaun] What is the best way for Ellie and Mussie to present their results?
They can use the pie chart because it can be seen easily.
