The researcher can understand the students' experience and satisfaction about UKCBC, in
this way they need to conduct a survey. While conducting the survey primary data collection
techniques are used so that by the rehearser can understand different type of point view. While
using the sampling techniques for collecting the information the sampling styles of such as
random sampling (Barrick and et.al., 2015). By taking a sampling techniques an information is
taken as sample and tested or examined by putting them into the sample group so that as per the
sample judgement can be made. In this research report, data or informations are collected for the
student satisfaction and there experience. Moreover, at the present study total 20 students are
taken as a sample among whom the questionnaire are distributed and responses are gathered
properly. So that the UKCBC can identify their choice and preferences.
In this research primary and secondary data both are used, in primary data the researcher
use questioner method because with this can have a close contact with the students of UKCBC.
which will be help the researcher in getting different factors of integration of their experience
and satisfaction. Questioners are also used for collecting information in different campuses of
UKCBC so it is easy to get data (Yan and et.al., 2015).
In Secondary data scholar will use books, journal article, and websites describing the
basic concept about the students experience and satisfaction.

TASK 2
2.1 and 2.2 Summarising the information collected and analyse with the help of mean, mode and
median
In order to analyse the experience as well as level of satisfaction,n data are required as a
raw material and on the basis of that effective analysis can be done. In the current study, data
collected from the students who are taking education from the college of UKCBC. The question
which is taken out at the current study is regards to the teaching facilities. The reason is that, if
such services and facilities of the college will higher, then satisfaction level of customers can be
measure and evaluate in proper manner (Cashmore and et.al., 2010). Moreover, data which are
taken are structured in the ungrouped form which are given as below:

The above mentioned data are taken out from the total 20 students which are taken as a
sample size to carry out the research in effectual manner. In this, rank is given on the college
facility like teaching offered by the lecturers or tutors. Rank is given out of 100 by different 20
pupils who are studied in the UKCBC college. On the basis of data collected from such students'
analysis is done with the help of applying statistical tools and techniques. Further, explanation
and analysis of the outcome is given as below:
Interpretation and analysis Mean: The tool of statistical in which average if the overall available data set is
generated is known as mean value. It helps to the analyst in order to summarise
information and on the basis of that effective conclusion is to be drawn (Chow and
Teicher, 2012). At the present scenario, outcome of mean determined is 70.25 which is
the rank given by UKCBC's students. It can be analysed that, company gives better
teaching facility to the students and due to which rank is given at 70.25th out of 100.
Moreover, experience of the pupils along with satisfaction is also better which is sign of
having high rank. Median: On the basis of the tool like median, the overall gathered information break
down into total 2 parts which are equal. At the time of very huge and more number of
data then scholar cannot analyse them which lead to impact on analysis. In order to
resolving this respective condition, the median is the most supportive by which data
become short and summarise accurately. From the present data set of ranking it can be
assessed that, middle value is 73.5 which shows that UKCBC provides better teaching
services.
 Mode: Statistical tool which shows that particular data and value which often arise in the
gathered data set is called as mode value. The mentioned technique is helpful for the
researcher of UKCBC in terms of determine frequently occur rank in the collected
information. From the higher number of huge data it is not possible to look at every value
and derive repeated (Gaile and Willmott, 2013). For reducing and making solution of this
kind of obstacles, mode tool is one of the most supportive and easy. In the current
information, 81st rank is repeated which is often given by the students on the teaching
7

facilities. By assessing this particular rank, it can be said that, UKCBC college provides
attractive services to its pupils in terms of teaching.
2.3 Calculation of range as well as standard deviation
Apart from the above stated SPSS techniques, there is range and standard deviation are
also supportive in order to analyse the information collected and make effective business
decisions. By such providing tools, management of UKCBC able to know difference of the
highest and lowest value of data set. Further, computation of the range and SD values are along
with the interpretation such as follows:
Table 3: Computation of range and standard deviation
Particulars Values
Range 68 (93-25)
standard deviation 18.04
Interpretation and analysis Range: The method of statistics in which difference value is derived of only two data
which are like the highest and the lowest is known as range. If value is comes at the
higher, then it can be said that, company has better performance in the industry (Gal,
Stewart and Hanne, 2013). In the current research of UKCBC ranking of teaching
facilities is measured where value derives is 68th. The highest value from the overall data
set determined is like 93 and lowest is 25. Further, range of the college is 68th which is
better and indicates that its teaching facilities are attractive.
 Standard deviation: From the respective tool distance between standard and average
value is determined which shows business performance and helpful to take adequate
decisions. Rank of teaching facilities assessed under the SD method is 18.04th which is
highly lower in comparison to mean value. Hence, it can be said that, performance of
college is the fruitful and effective in terms of provide education and teaching.
2.4 Computing measure of dispersion like quartile, percentile as well as correlation

Level of quartile Outcomes
Lower (Q3) 62.25
Middle (Q2) 73.5
Upper (Q1) 81.5
Inter quartile range (Q1-Q3) 19.25 (81.5-62.25)
Percentile
Level of percentile Outcomes
25th percentile 62.25
50th percentile 73.5
75th percentile 81.5
Interpretation and analysis Quartile: The tool under which data set is broken in equally four portions and then
analysis as well as conclusion is made by the scholar is identified as quartile. Further,
median and quartile both having high degree of similarity where one difference is that
median divide information in 2 and other tool in 4 parts equally. It has basically three
levels which are like upper, middle and lower and denotes by Q1, Q2 and Q3 respectively
(Hahn and Doganaksoy, 2011). Values of the Q1, Q2 and Q3 quartiles are such as 62.25,
73.5 and 81.5 respectively which has the increasing trend. Moreover, inter quartile range
value from the data set derived is like 19.25 which is difference of upper and lower
quartile.
 Percentile: It is also represents information after dividing in total four parts but way of
present is different from the quartile. At this tool, levels reflect in form of percentile
which are like 25th, 50th, and 75th where values or outcomes are such as 62.25, 73.5 and
81.5 respectively.
