After reviewing the results, consider how you would interpret the data you have gathered. What conclusions might you draw from this data? What additional resources or questions would you want to explore, having looked at this data? What new connections or possibilities are revealed by these results?
Consider the survey design process. As you looked at the surveys created by the other groups, what differences did you notice? Would you have made any changes to your own survey based on what you saw in the other surveys? Prepare a one-page report to the head of the marketing department of XYZ Vending Company stating your survey results, your conclusions, further areas of research, and any changes to the questionnaire you would recommend before distributing it to the larger student population.
