- For the following line graph, State at least one type of conclusion that could be made from the data provided for the KPI. Suggest one other data source that would provide more information to make data-driven decisions. Explain what information that source would supply. (I used the clustered bar chart) Examples: 1) The completion KPI measures the percentage of South Texas College students who finished their degree or certificate program within six years. From the line graph, it can be seen that the completion rates have remained nearly constant through the years. Data from the THECB was used in this case. 2) Information about the percentage of students who receive credit for attempted courses is available on the South Texas College KPI webpage. According to the data, over the past five years, an increasing number of students have been receiving credit for courses they have attempted.

Suggest one other data source that would provide more information to make data-driven decisions. Explain what information that source would supply. I used the line graph btw. Examples: 1)The KPI webpage for South Texas College provides information on the proportion of graduates who find employment. According to the data, over the past five years, the proportion of graduates who find work has risen annually. Data on the percentage of students who are employed in their field of study after graduation, the percentage of students who are employed full-time after graduation, and the percentage of students who are satisfied with their job after graduation would also be useful in making decisions about post-graduation success. This information would shed light on the factors that are causing the rise in the proportion of graduates who find employment. 2)The…arrow_forwardUse the data and develop a model to predict Overall Satisfaction.
