Statistical Treatment of Data Analysis

The researchers will use percentage, weighted mean, and Likert scale to interpret the data. Percentage will be used to determine response frequencies and demographic profiles. Weighted mean will be used to analyze tabulated data using frequency distribution and percentage. The Likert scale will quantify respondents' answers on a scale of 1 to 5 to determine opinions, with ranges defined to interpret the weighted mean results.

Statistical Treatment

To interpret the data effectively, the researchers will make use of the following statistical
treatment. The percentage, Weighted Mean and Likert Scale are the tools that will use to interpret the
data.

1. Percentage

The frequency of each response will be determined on the number of the respondents who will
check in the particular item. The Demographic profile of the respondents will be determined using the
formula of the percentage.

F
Formula: %= X 100
N
Where: % is the percentage

F is the frequency

N is the total number of respondents

100 is a constant value

2. Average Weighted Mean

The mean is the most often used in central tendency calculation since it is prone to fewer errors.
The tabulated data will be treated with the use of frequency distribution, percentage and weighted
mean.

Σfx
Formula: X=
f
Where: X is the weighted mean

Σfx is the sum of all products


f is the sum of all the respondents

3. Likert Scale

The following qualitative description was adapted to quantify the respondents’ answer to each item:

Scale Equivalent Descriptive Rating


1 Strongly Disagree
2 Disagree
3 Neutral
4 Agree
5 Strongly Agree

Likert Scale is a rating scale used to measure opinions, perceptions, and behaviors. This scale is
used to understand respondent ratings to a series of statements about a topic to determine the
cognitive and affective components of attitudes.

To interpret the weighted mean, the following scale is used.


Range Descriptive Rating
1.00 – 1.80 Strongly Disagree
1.81 – 2.60 Disagree
2.61 – 3.40 Neutral
3.41 – 4.20 Agree
4.21 – 5.00 Strongly Agree

The interval in this scale is computed


as:

( 5−1 )
=0.8
5
where 5 is the highest and 1 is the lowest number in the Likert Scale used in this study.
