Reading Means

• Most surveys use a five point scale to measure
  satisfaction. When all the responses are
  calculated you might have a mean of 3.25.
  Overall the respondents were not quite satisfied
  enough to be satisfied. Give it an orange in a
  traffic light report.

Reading Correlations

• The logic of correlations is if everyone who
  answered yes to Q1, also answered yes to Q2 then
  the correlation would be perfect.
• Correlation are measured from 0 to 1 so 1 is a
  perfect correlation and 0 is no correlation at
  all
• 0.2 weak, 0.4 moderate, 0.6 strong, and 0.8
  very strong
