How do I Analyze my research data?

I did an experiment and now I have data on a behavior. What is the method do I have to use to to break down by percent, and per hour?

How do I Analyze my research data?
How you analyze the data has a lot to do with what you are trying to determine. For example, if you are trying to show a chronological pattern, then you can graph the behavior as a function of the passage of time. If, on the other hand, you are trying to show differing behavior as a result of temperature changes, then you would graph your results against the range of temperature. In both of those cases, you would be comparing a single set of results to a single variable, so a simple XY graph works well.
