Using the data above

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Compute for the mean, median and mode for each subject. Compute for the range, standard deviation and variance. Which of the two scores is more dispersed? Compute for the P50, D7 and Q3. Using Microsoft Excel, construct a graph for the scores. What conclusion can be made from the given data?

1. Mean, Median, Mode Psychology Mean 10 Median 10 Mode 10

Political Science Mean 9 Median 10 Mode- 10

3. Which of the two scores is more dispersed? The scores of the Political Science students.

6. Conclusion: Out of the given data, it appears that the scores of the Political Science students are more dispersed than the Psychology student. Also, 50 percent of the all the scores are lower than 10, 70 percent of all the scores are lower than 11 and 75 percent of all the scores are below 12.
