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
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
3. Likert Scale
The following qualitative description was adapted to quantify the respondents’ answer to each item:
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.
( 5−1 )
=0.8
5
where 5 is the highest and 1 is the lowest number in the Likert Scale used in this study.
