Quantitative Analysis and Interpretation Measures of Variability and Relative Position

This document discusses quantitative analysis and various statistical measures. It defines quantitative analysis as describing and interpreting objects with numbers and statistics. It also outlines four levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. The document then discusses measures of central tendency including mode, median, and mean. It defines measures of variability and formulas for calculating range, standard deviation, and variance. Finally, it discusses measures of relative position such as quartiles, deciles, and percentiles.

ANALYSIS AND
INTERPRETATION

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS

 Quantitative analysis is based on describing and interpreting objects


statistically and with numbers.
 Quantitative analysis aims to interpret the data collected for the
phenomenon through numeric variables and statistics.
 Quantitative analysis includes computational and statistical methods of
analysis.
Level of Measurement
There are four main levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.

 NOMINAL SCALE simply categorizes variables according to qualitative labels (or


names). These labels and groupings don’t have any order or hierarchy to them, nor do they
convey any numerical value.
 ORDINAL SCALE also categorizes variables into labeled groups, and these categories
have an order or hierarchy to them.
 INTERVAL SCALE is a numerical scale which labels and orders variables, with a
known, evenly spaced interval between each of the values.
 RATIO SCALE is exactly the same as the interval scale, with one key difference: The
ratio scale has what’s known as a “true zero.”
Measures of Central Tendency
- is a summary measure that attempts to describe a whole set of data with a single value that
represents the middle or centre of its distribution.

 MODE - The mode is the most commonly occurring value in a distribution.


 MEDIAN - The median is the middle value in distribution when the values
are arranged in ascending or descending order.
 MEAN - The mean is the sum of the value of each observation in a dataset
divided by the number of observations. This is also known as the arithmetic
average.

Assessment Learning
Lesson Objectives:
At the end of the discussion, the student may:
 Define Measures of Variability,
 Know the procedures in solving the measures of variability, and,
 Present a tabular presentation of data for variability.
Definition of Terms
 Measures of Variability – number that conveys the idea of spread
for the data sheet.
 Range – measures the distance between the highest score and the
lowest score and gives an idea of the spread of the data. It does not
use deviation.
 Standard Deviation - measure of how spread the numbers are.
 Variance – the square of the standard deviation of the data.
Procedures for finding the Standard Deviation

 Determine the mean (n) of the data.


 Calculate the deviation between the number and the mean of the
number.
 Calculate the square of each deviation and find the sum of these
squared deviation.
 If the data is a population, divide the sum by n, if the data is a
sample, divide the sum by n-1.
 Find the square root of quotient in step 4.

Definition of Terms

 Quartile – divides the data set into four equal division parts.
 Deciles – divides the data set into tenequal division.
 Percentiles – divides the data set into 100 equal parts.
