B. Importance of Quantitative Analysis
-PURPOSE
The purpose of quantitative analysis is that to make visible the difficult test by the use of
statistical data. Some test may determine if it is unclear so that the test became reliable
and easy to understand.
-GETTING STARTED
During the development phase of the development process, a sample group of at least 20
representative end-users is gathered to the whom the test is administered and solved using
a statistical program.
The Test is taken by 20 participants and administered using a statistical treatment. When it
is done, the statistical of descriptive, correlations and the item reliability are analyze.
-DESCRIPTIVE
Descriptive statistics are brief descriptive coefficients that summarize a given data set, which
can be either a representation of the entire population or a sample of a population.
Descriptive statistics are broken down into measures of central tendency and measures of
variability (spread).
Population
N= Tarlac City
n= Matatalaib
N= 150,000
n= 15,000
Example: The big letter N is the total population of Tarlac City and the small letter n
is the representative of Tarlc City.
A. N – This is the number of valid observations for the variable. The total number of
observations is the sum of N and the number of missing values.
The mean, or the average, is calculated by adding all the figures within the data set and
then dividing by the number of figures within the set.
Example, the sum of the following data set is 20: (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The mean is 4 (20/5).
C. Standard deviation is the square root of the variance. It measures the spread of a set of
observations. The larger the standard deviation is, the more spread out the observations
are.
-CORRELATION
Correlation are illustrated by scatter plots which are similar to line graphs in that they use
horizontal and vertical axes to plot data points; serving a very specific purpose.
POSITIVE
A positive correlation exists when two variables move in the same direction as one another.
NEGATIVE
Negative correlation is a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases
as the other decreases, and vice versa.
Example: Height above sea level and temperature. As you climb the mountain (increase in
height) it gets colder (decrease in temperature)
-ITEAM RELIABILITY
Item reliability is the consistency of a set of items (variables); that is to what extent they
measure the same thing.
For example, if a test is designed to measure a trait (such as introversion), then each time
the test is administered to a subject, the results should be approximately the same.
SUMMARRY:
To sum it up. Quantitative analysis (QA) is an approach for understanding behaviour that
involves mathematical and statistical modelling, measurement, and study. Quantitative
analysts quantify a situation by assigning a numerical value to it. Quantitative analysis is
used to assess, evaluate, and value a financial instrument, as well as forecast real-world
events like changes in a country's gross domestic product (GDP).
While when we say Descriptive statistics these are a series of short descriptive coefficients
that summarize a data set, which might be a representation of the complete population or a
sample of the population. Measures of central tendency and measures of variability are two
types of descriptive statistics (spread).
Then, Correlation which is a statistical measure that expresses how closely two variables are
related linearly (meaning they change together at a constant rate). It's a typical way of
describing simple relationships without stating a cause and effect relationship.
The constancy of a group of things is referred to as item reliability (variables).
