3. Introduction
In this assignment we were given the task to research on the students from Taylor’s
Lakeside University about their knowledge on a common chronic disease in Malaysia. We
were assigned into groups consisting of five members and were to assume that the Ministry
of Health approached us to conduct a survey. In this case, HIV was the chronic disease
chosen for this assignment. Our survey had to include at least 15 questions, excluding the
demographical questions. Each group member was to survey 50 students each, 25 of which
were males and the other 25 females. This meant that a total of 250 students, 125 males
and 125 females, were surveyed during this assignment. We then had to tabulate and
analyze the data into a report, as well as an A2-sized infographic poster.

4. Objective
The primary objective of this assignment was to allow us to collect and organize statistical
data and for us to apply the knowledge gained to analyze statistical data to draw a
conclusion of the data. One of the main objectives of this assignment was to identify the
understanding about Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) among female and male
students in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. Another objective was to find out which of
the genders, males or females, had a better understanding of a common chronic disease in
Malaysia, in this case, HIV. This assignment required 125 male and 125 female students in
Taylor’s University to fill up the survey forms prepared. This assignment aims to develop a
better understanding about the HIV virus. This assignment also aids us in our developments
of survey forms. In addition, analysis of data has sharpened our soft skills as we had to
organize the data into chart and tables. This assignment also aims to apply the knowledge
we learnt in class and decide the best statistical methods suitable for the analysis of our
data.

23. Conclusion
After gathering and tabulating the data gathered from all 250 survey forms, it
was concluded that, based off the students in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus,
male participants showed a greater understanding of Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV) as compared to female students. This was due to the fact that the male
participants scored an average mark of 8.2 out of the 15 questions, whereas female
participants scored an average of 8.0 of the 15 questions.
Of all the questions asked in the survey, it was found that question 10, which
was about the percentage possibility of the death of HIV patients from severe cough
or flue, and question 11, which was about whether HIV was first transmitted through
animals, proved to be questions that were the most common to be answered
incorrectly by majority of the participants. For question 10, only 28.8% of male
participants got it right, while only 36.8% of female participants got the correct
answer. As for question 11, the data showed that 48.8% of male participants got the
question right and only 36.8% of female participants got it right. This shows that
both male and female students from Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus were
lacking the knowledge in this sector.
Lastly, it would be recommended that the management of Taylors University
Lakeside Campus increase the awareness of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
towards their students as the overall results gained from both male and female
participants had been disappointing. The average results from both genders were
below average. For the future safety of students studying in the campus, it would be
recommended that the management in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus increase
HIV awareness through annual compulsory campaigns.
