Data Processing and Statistical Treatment

The document outlines the key steps in data processing and statistical treatment which include categorizing data based on study objectives, coding data numerically or alphabetically, tabulating data using a master sheet, and analyzing using appropriate statistical tools. It also distinguishes between descriptive statistics like frequencies, averages, and spreads from inferential statistics used to make inferences about populations from samples. Normal distribution and normal curve are discussed as the most important probability distribution. Frequency, counts, and percentages are used to present results in frequency tables and answer questions involving counting.

Statistical Treatment

Statistics is the servant , not


the master, of logic; it is a
means rather than an end of
research

- Best and Kahn


(1998)
Descriptive versus Inferential
Statistics
Descriptive statistics include:
frequency counts and
percentages, averages, and
spreads.

Inferential statistics are used


to make inferences about a
population based on finding
from a sample.
The Normal Distribution
- considered as the most
important probability
distribution.
- its graph is called normal
curve.
Normal Curve (Gaussian
Distribution)
Frequency, Counts and
Percentages
- are statistical tools which are usually used to
answer profile questions and those that
involve mere counting.
- results are presented using a frequency
table.
