Hello, i have been asked to expand my statistics coverage. I am not sure what that would entail, whether it would be further descriptive statistics or regression, applied, etc... I have added what I've done. Can you help me to expand this? Please note that I do not have a detailed data set/just the basic groupings in the document provided. The dataset can be 'manipulated' if needed.

The implications of the findings are then considered within the context of this research. 5.2.1Sample analysis Figure 5 Pie chart of distribution of respondents by age Table 1 Frequency distribution of respondents by age Age Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent Valid 25-35 years 58 21.5 21.5 21.5 35-45 years 123 45.6 45.6 67.0 45-55 years 65 24.1 24.1 91.1 Above 55 24 8.9 8.9 100.0 Total 270 100.0 100.0 There was sufficient representation of individuals from all age groups except the above 55 age group. People in this age group are generally involved in managerial roles or may even move to other public sector departments as there may be insufficient number of senior positions to accommodate a high number of individuals. It is a common practice in UAE to move senior level individuals from one public service division to another. Figure 6 Pie chart of distribution of respondents by tenure with police Table 2 Frequency distribution of respondents by tenure with police Work Experience in Police Department Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent Valid 15-20 years 119 44.1 44.1 44.1 21-30 years 63 23.3 23.3 67.4 Over 30 years 37 13.7 13.7 81.1 under 15 years 51 18.9 18.9 100.0 Total 270 100.0 100.0 In line with the age, the largest number of respondents reported between 15 and 20 years of experience followed by those between 21-30 years of experience working in the police department. Comparably, 13.7% of individuals reported over 30 years of experience. These individuals predominantly tended to hold senior executive roles. Figure 7 Pie chart of distribution of respondents by academic qualifications Table 3 Frequency distribution of respondents by academic qualifications Academic Qualifications Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent Valid Bachelors 75 27.8 27.8 27.8 Higher Diploma 37 13.7 13.7 41.5 Masters 129 47.8 47.8 89.3 PhD 29 10.7 10.7 100.0 Total 270 100.0 100.0 Almost half of the respondents reported having a Master’s level qualification while over a quarter reported Bachelor’s level qualification. By comparison, only 10.7% of the respondents held PhD degrees. Interestingly, 13.7% percent of the respondents reported having higher diploma level qualifications. It is possible that these individuals were individuals who pursued police as career immediately after finishing schooling unlike many others who decided upon their careers after finishing college education. 5.2.2Descriptive statistics Table 4 Descriptive statistics of questionnaire survey responses Descriptive Statistics Mean Std.
