Question

What stats should I use? Are mean and standard deviation the proper ones. What do I place on the X axis and what on the Y axis. 245 respondents

QUES: You feel confident in your work.

ANS: completely agree, agree, mostly agree, neutral, mostly disagree, disagree and completely disagree

Answer 1
