Internet Survey Data

The following data are to be used to create charts suitable for presentations. Suppose that you were given these data and asked to create charts from them. First, decide what data require what kinds of charts. Second, using Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, or another suitable application, create useable charts. Be sure to make the print as large as possible. This means that you should use Print Setup to set the output to "landscape" and that you should eliminate headers and footers from the output. You must use at least 18 point type.This document is also available as a Microsoft Word document via FTP.
