    Statical report - what details are important

    Hi all,

    I want to create a statical report on the following instance.

    Say there is a question with 5 options. A user can mark only one answer at a time, and I've 100 of users answers with me. Now I want to generate a statical report on that? What should be the major details I've to include? Comments are really appreciate.

    Thanks a lot.

    Is the question like a scale from 1 to 5, as in "rate how warm it was today", or is it a smattering of things, like "which reason from the five below causes you to hate badgers the most". In either case you'll likely use the mean, variance, and skewness. Median and mode might also be popular; the analysis really hinges on the type of question.

    And one more thing, can you explain how can I calculate the mean here?

    ...only when you answer my previous question...?
