MS EXCEL : GENERAL, DATABASE, GRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL DATA ANALYSIS FEATURES USING A CASE STUDY

Problem: The following is the data collected from a survey on a crop in a district with the following objectives:

  • To assess the performance of the particular crop at various locations
  • To suggest ways to improve crop productivity on sustainable basis
  • To suggest alternate crop or cropping system

The data is from five villages selected at random. Ten farmers from each village were again selected at random.(Data in Excel format)

Perform the following analysis
  1. Prepare the data for analysis
  2. Calculate crop productivity, convert the data of "Total land holding", "Soil depth " amenable to analysis
  3. Summarize the data with suitable statistical measures and frequency distribution
  4. Find the best relationship to explain the variations in crop yield through regression analysis
  5. View data in various ways using database features
  6. Represent the data through appropriate graphs and tables
  7. Prepare a report on your results
