 Question 1
a) Frequency table to represent the responses of 48 randomly selected respondents:-

very important important fairly important very important fairly important important
important slightly important not important fairly important important very important
fairly very important very important

fairly
important slightly important not important very important important important

not slightly fairly very

Responses (x) important Total
important important important important

Frequency (f) 4 6 12 16 10 48

Table 1: Number of responses in the survey

c) Bar chart for Distribution based on the frequency table in (b) as below :-

d) The bar chart show that the responses by 48 respondents in a survey on the
importance of introducing science and environmental education to early
childhood. The respondents were most of the time will answer that it is
“important” by 16 responses, 12 respondents on “fairly important”, 10
respondents on “very important”, 6 respondents on “slightly important” and only
4 respondents took the answer as “not important”.

e) This study use the 5-point Likert Scale as below:

(x)
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

Frequency (f) 4 6 12 16 10 48

Since the “4” occurs 16 times (the highest frequency), the mode is
“4”.

iii. Median

Median = ½ (n + 1)
Median = ½ (48 + 1)
Median = ½ (49)
Median = 24.5; Thus, the position of median is 24.5 which in 4

iv. Variance
Variance - σ2 = ∑ (x − x̅)2 / n
Sample Variance - s2 = ∑ (x − x̅) 2 / n − 1
Sample Mean = 9.6; as in i.
Variance, σ2 = ∑ (x − x̅)2 / n-1
Variance, σ2 = ∑ ((42 + 62 + 122 + 162 + 102) – (9.6)2 / n-1
Variance, σ2 = ∑ ((16 + 36 + 144 + 256 + 100) – (9.6)2 / n-1
Variance, σ2 = ∑ (552 – 92.16) / n-1
Variance, σ2 = 459.84 / 5-1
Variance, σ2 = (459.84 / 4)
Variance, σ2 = (114.96)

v. Standard Deviation

4
 Standard Deviation, s2 = ∑ (x − x̅) 2 / n − 1
Standard Deviation, s = √(459.84 / 4)
Standard Deviation, s = √(114.96)
Standard Deviation, s = 10.722

vi. Pearson's coefficient of skewness

Pearson's first coefficient of skewness, sk1 
= (Mean−Mode)/ Standard Deviation
= (9.6 – 4)/10.722
= 0.522
