Brief explanations of statistical terms in the report:

Mean is the average value of a set of numbers. It indicates where the central tendency of the answers to a particular question lies. The mean is calculated by simply adding the numeric answers for all participants and dividing them with the total number of participants.

Standard deviation indicates how much the answers to a particular question, on a continuous scale, are spread around its mean. If the standard deviation to a particular question is low it indicates that there are little differences in responses, if however the standard deviation is high, the differences in responses is greater.

Chi-square test is a significance test used to determine significant differences in background groups on a non-consecutive response scales.

ANOVA stands for Analysis of Variance. It assesses whether there are significant differences in answers among or between groups

Modern elements, such as being up-to-date, growing and forward-thinking, indicate how much the brand appeals to current generations. This means using the right ways to connect to its customers and not falling behind in an ever-changing environment.

Well over half of respondents, between 72% and 73%, strongly agree with the statement “Brand X is modern”. The mean is calculated on a five-point scale, where the option “strongly agree” gets the value 5, the option “strongly disagree” gets the value 1, and other answers range between the two. X’s mean is 4.67 and is well above the average of the best energy brands.

The answers will be analyzed by background criteria on the next page..
