1. Dr. X, President of Y University, gathered data from the journal “Academe” regarding the

professor level, were low compared with those other universities. The raw data were presented
in Table 1. Summarize the result and explain the meaning of these measures. Include in your
report the various measures of central tendency and dispersion.
