Week 7 Mini Projet -FedScope
On week 7 I found myself on the fedscope website. The website allowed me to make statistics and have them easily formatted to be placed as graphs for presentations. I bet several entities use this website to pull statistics and do it quickly for presentions that are last minute. I found the interface rather simple but trying to get an exact idea on some of the stats because troublesome. The % of subtotal proved to be one of the options I wish I could fully understand because it was giving me off numbers . The percentages didn't add up to the sub total and sometimes were greater than %100. That confused me and made me steer clear of some search result.

The reasons for those discrepancies may be due to rounding error, blank records, or poor data entry. Perhap they need a better way of filtering out the "dirty" data. But I am glad you got some value from the exercise!
