Answer the problem carefully. Computerize your answers and provide clear pictures when tabulating
and graphing your data.

Problem:
A group of researchers are interested to investigate the relationship between number of minutes doing
morning laundry and life satisfaction among 35-year-old single mothers who currently have two
children in their care and are also college returnees in Southwestern University PHINMA. Twenty 35-
year-old single mothers were chosen to participate, and after an extensive amount of data gathering,
below are their data:

Do not round off because the nature of your variable (# of minutes doing laundry) is supposed to be
continuous and not discrete.

*Tabulate all raw scores, their z-scores and new standard scores.

Part 6: Frequency distribution

Plot in the distribution the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 20th scores. Compare them using the following
distributions:
a. Raw distribution of the # of minutes doing laundry
b. Z-score distribution

c. New standard score distribution
