Data Analysis is the process of systematically applyingstatistical and/or logical techniques to describe and
illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data.According to Shamoo and Resnik (2003) various analyticprocedures provide a way of drawing inductive inferencesfrom data and distinguishing the signal (the phenomenon ofinterest) from the noise (statistical fluctuations) present in
the data.

TYPES OF INTERVIEWS
1. Informal, conversational interview - no predetermined questions are
asked, in order to remain as open and adaptable as possible to theinterviewees nature and priorities; during the interview the interviewergoes with the flow.
2. General interview guide approach - the guide approach is intended toensure that the same general areas of information are collected from each
interviewee; this provides more focus than the conversational approach,but still allows a degree of freedom and adaptability in getting theinformation from the interviewee.
3. Standardized, open-ended interview - the same open-ended questionsare asked to all interviewees; this approach facilitates faster interviews
that can be more easily analyzed and compared.
4. Closed, fixed-response interview - where all interviewees are asked thesame questions and asked to choose answers from among the same setof alternatives. This format is useful for those not practiced in interview inn and adaptable as possible to the
