Interpretation

Descriptive and correlation analysis.Since value of 1 is for males and 2 for females so Gender mean of 1.3333 shows that around 67% of respondents are males and remaining 33% are females. Around 76% of respondents belong to age below 30. Respondents belong to different areas and approximately 98% of them are undergraduate or less qualified.

Just approximately under 2% are postgraduates; one reason could be because most of the people are aged under 30 (i.e. approx. 78%) and  approximately 41% are below age 21  so they are less qualified as expected. A large percentage (approx. 60%) of the data comprise of respondents with  mobility impairment while the other 40% are suffering from speech impairment, visual impairment and hearing impairment with almost equal percentage for all.

Interpretation

The value of mean of all barriers between 1 and 2 indicates that most of people agree to those barriers as they think that these barriers are causes of impairment. On this scale, 1 stands for strongly agree and 2 stands for agree.

While some people must have been neutral, disagreed or strongly disagreed as well but most of them are towards “agreement” of agree and strongly agree as indicated by the mean which is mostly between 1 and 2.
