    i. Weighted Average: Formula & Calculation

    Examples
    G R O U P 0 1
    Weighted Mean is an average computed by giving different weights to some of the
    individual values. If all the weights are equal, then the weighted mean is the same as the
    arithmetic mean. It represents the average of a given data.

    Weighted means are useful when we want to give more importance to certain values than
    others.
    W = weighted average
    n = number of terms to be averaged
    w_{i} = weights applied to x values
    X_{i} = data values to be averaged

    Q1 = (4.10) + (3.4) + (2.1) + (1.10)


    ----------------------------------------------------

    = 40 + 12 + 2 + 10 = 64/25 = 2.56

    Visual Interpretation = Agree (A)


    ii. MEAN
    G R O U P 0 1
    • The mean, which is also known as the average, is
    the total sum of values in a sample divided by the
    number of values in your sample.
    • It is also referred as the “arithmetic average”

    • Computation of Sample Mean

    x̄ = ( Σ xi ) / n

    • Computation of the Mean for Ungrouped Data

    x̄ = ( Σ xi ) / nx̄ = ( Σ fx ) / n
    How to find the mean?

    Example: 3). 6, 14, 8, 5, 3, 11, 9

    1). 12, 7, 14, 5, 7, 11, 9 6+14+8+5+3+11+9

    = 56/7
    Mean: 12+7+14+5+7+11+9/7= 65/7
    mean: 8
    = 9.29 is the Mean
    4). 6, 8, 5, 5, 9, 8, 10

    2). 95, 90, 97, 92 6+8+5+5+9+8+10

    = 51/7
    Mean: 95+90+97+92/4= 374/4
    mean: 7.29
    = 93.5 is the your grade
    ii. MEDIAN
    G R O U P 0 1
    Median is the middle value of the given list of data. It is found by arranging the set of data from lowest
    to highest or highest to lowest and getting the value of the middle observation.

    • If n is odd, the median is the middle-ranked.

    • If n is even, then the median is the average of the two middle-ranked values.
    iii. MODE
    G R O U P 0 1
    The mode is the most common element in the set or the value that happens
    the most often.

    • A collection of data can have one mode, multiple modes, or no mode at


    all.

    • Mode or Modal is classified as unimodal, bimodal, trimodal or


    multimodal. It can be used when the data are qualitative as well as
    quantitative.

    Example 1: Example 2:

    5, 2, 1, 4, 9, 2, 3, 7 2, 4, 4, 5, 5

    Mode: 2 Mode: 4 and 5


    iv. STANDARD DEVIATION
    G R O U P 0 1
    - A measure of how dispersed the data is in relation to the mean. Small standard deviation indicates
    data are clustered tightly around the mean, and large, standard deviation indicates data are more spread
    out.
    Standard Deviation provides an indication of how far the individual responses to a question may vary
    or deviate from the mean. It tells the researcher how spread out the responses are. Are they
    concentrated around the mean, or scattered far and wide?
    ● Standard Deviation can never be a negative number, due to the way it’s calculated and the fact that it
    measures a distance.

    ● The smallest possible value for standard deviation is 0.


    ● Standard Deviation is affected by outliers (extremely low or extremely high numbers in data set).

    ● The standard deviation has same units of measure as the original data.
    v. CHRONBACH'S ALPHA
    G R O U P 0 1
    Used to measure internal consistency/reliability

    Helps researchers evaluate the quality of the tool during the design phase before deploying it fully

    Expressed as a number between 0 and 1

    Where k = no. of items

    ∑s²i = sum of variances of each item

    s²y = variance of the TOTAL column


    0.03 = UNACCEPTABLE
