Normalizing data #33
Description
Are we planning to normalize data for questions with open answers?
For example, 5. About how much money do you expect to earn per year at your first developer job (in US Dollars)?
Avg.$ = $53K per year, but some answers have $800K and more.
If set the upper bound to
Also some answers with "K" ($70K), and some are with full numbers ($70000)
And some answers are too small to be annually, but good enough to be monthly. In many countries people never use annual salaries, but monthly. So lots of people was probably confused and wrote their monthly expectations.
I did some normalizing, but in the end the average expectation didn't change a lot.
Original avg.$ = $53K/year VS $52K/year for normalized data.
Normalizing is a good practice, but it didn't change much in this example, so are we planning to do it? If yes, then we need to agree on conditions.
