 One of the ways in which usability professionals collect data, and for that matter academic professionals, is the use of a survey instrument. In this assignment, you’ll create a paper-based survey instrument evaluating a mobile application or Website. In the assignment, you are expected to include: 

• Participant Demographic Data (Name, Age, Gender, Location, Education etc.)
• Participation Consent
• 8 – 10 Measurable Quantitative Questions (Using a scale to support measurement, i.e., Likert)
• 2 – 4 Qualitative Questions

Leverage the literature and textbook examples in your instrument creation. This survey is a PAPER PROTOTYPE not to be completed using a survey instrument such as Survey Monkey.

 YO19_IntegratedProject_1_LaundryProposal 1.1

Project Description:

As a student at the university, you have an entrepreneurial spirit and have dreamed of starting your own business. You have noticed that the coin laundry in your dorm is always full and crowded. You saw an opportunity to start a business that picks up laundry at the dorms, launders the clothes, folds the clothes, and returns the laundry in a single day. The first step to starting this business is to create a proposal for the university to approve the service to have some operations within the dorms. You started by conducting a survey of your fellow students. The next step is to process the survey results and create a proposal for the university.

Spelling mistakes are   unprofessional as they make the author appear to be unable to spell properly.   
 

  Check the spelling to correct all spelling errors. LaundryU is the name of the business and is spelled correctly.

Styles help you format even if   you are not very good with design.
 

  Set the style for the first three lines in the document to Heading 1.
  On the sixth line down change the salutation of Dear Director, to a style of Heading 2. Change the line that   reads We did a survey of 100 students   in the dorm and found: style to be Heading 2.

A name should look like a   signature.
 

  On the next to last line, change the font of Matthew Thomas to Lucida Handwriting.

Open the downloaded LaundryUSurvey.xlsx file. On the Q1   worksheet, in cell E2, enter a function that calculates how many students   answered yes to the survey using the data in cell B2:B101.

  Display LaundryUSurvey.xlsx. On the   Q2 worksheet using the data in cells B2:B40, calculate the following:
  In cell F2 calculate the average price students were willing to pay.
  In cell F3 calculate the standard deviation of the sample.
  In cell F4 calculate the sample size.
  In cell H3 calculate the minimum price students were willing to pay.
  In cell H4 calculate the maximum price students were willing to pay.
  Hint:
  For Standard Deviation, use the STDEV.S Function
  For the Sample Size, use the COUNTA Function
