    This document contains student data including name, gender, socioeconomic group, age, score, and difficulty level. It analyzes and summarizes the central tendency (mean, median, mode) for each variable. It determines that the most appropriate measures are: mode for gender, median for socioeconomic group, mean for age, mean or median for score, and median for difficulty level. The document concludes by stating which central tendency measure is best for each variable given its level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval/ratio).

    ACTIVITY 6
    DESCRIPTIVE MEASURES

    WE can do it!
    Refer to data file on page 8, answer the following
    GENDER
     How many female students? 17 Male students? 17
     Can you compute for the mean of gender? Yes
     If yes, what is it? 17
     If no, why?
     Can you compute for the median of the gender? Yes
     If yes, what is it?17
     If no, why?
     Can you compute for the mode of the gender? Yes
     If yes, what is it?17
     If no, why?
     What is the most appropriate central location (Mean, Median, Mode) in
    summarizing the gender?

    Mode is the most appropriate central location to summarize the gender


    because it is a qualitative data or a nominal-level of variable. Hence,
    gender is comprised of values that can be named but not ranked or
    quantified.

    SOCIOECONOMIC GROUP
     How many students belong to High class? 14 Average class? 9 Low
    class? 11
     Can you compute for the mean of socioeconomic group? Yes
    o If yes, what is it? 11.33
    o If no, why?
     Can you compute for the median of the socioeconomic group? Yes
    o If yes, what is it? 11
    o If no, why?
     Can you compute for the mode of the socioeconomic group? Yes
    o If yes, what is it? 14
    o If no, why?
     What is the most appropriate central location (Mean, Median, Mode)
    in summarizing the socioeconomic group?
    Unlike gender, median is the most appropriate central location to
    summarize the socioeconomic group because it is an ordinal-level variable
    and is comprised of values that can be ranked but not quantified. However,
    mode can also be used in an ordinal scale.
    AGE
    1. Can you compute for the mean of age? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 16.97058824
    If no, why?
    2. Can you compute for the median of the age? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 17
    If no, why?
    3. Can you compute for the mode of the age? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 17
    4. What is the most appropriate central location (Mean, Median, Mode) in summarizing
    the age?
    The proper measure of central location to be reported for age is mean and is generally
    considered the best measure of it.

    SCORE
    5. Can you compute for the mean of score? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 75.02941176
    If no, why?
    6. Can you compute for the median of the score? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 77.5
    If no, why?
    7. Can you compute for the mode of the score? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 80
    If no, why?
    8. What is the most appropriate central location (Mean, Median, Mode) in summarizing
    the age?
    Mean, median, and mode are all applicable if the variable is score because its values
    can be ranked and quantified. However, mean is the most frequently used measure of
    central location and generally considered the best measure of it.

    DIFFICULTY
    1. Can you compute for the mean of score? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 3.088235294
    If no, why?
    2. Can you compute for the median of the score? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 3
    If no, why?
    3. Can you compute for the mode of the score? Yes
    If yes, what is it? 3
    If no, why?
    4. What is the most appropriate central location (Mean, Median, Mode) in summarizing
    the age?
    Median is the most appropriate central location to summarize the difficulty because it is
    an ordinal-level variable and is comprised of values that can be ranked.
