Tourism
Once the aforementioned research is collected and organized, the next step is to analyze the findings in order to reach founded conclusions. In order to do this, we must begin with an analysis of the collected data. In this research project, the data consists of the gathered customer response sheets pertaining to their tastes for Indian food and their reactions to eating similar food in a developing country, like India.
In analyzing these customer responses, the statistical analysis method will be utilized. The benefit of using the method of analysis is that it will effectively evaluate causal inferences made by the numerous cases collected in this study. By definition, statistical analysis method is the application of statistical techniques in order to analyze data and illustrate, condense, recap and evaluate data.
Thus, in the case at hand, the collected data will be broken down in order to discover inferences that answer the proposed hypotheses. For instance, the data will be divided between those who like and those who dislike Indian food. From the group that does like Indian food, the statistics will be broken down between those who would and those who would not eat from a restaurant similar to the case sample if placed in India. From each of these groups, the variables of familiar logos and other positive indicators will be reviewed to come to a conclusion of what prevents an individual who enjoys Indian food from eating Indian food when traveling in a developing nation.
In order to fully complete the data analysis portion of this research project, a timeframe of several weeks from the return of the trip will be required.
