Frequency Distribution is an organized tabulation/graphical representation of the

number of individuals in each category on the scale of measurement, and it presents
a picture of how the individual observations are distributed in the measurement
scale. Frequency Distribution is used to allows the researcher to have a glance at the
entire data conveniently, to shows whether the observations are high or low and
also whether they are concentrated in one area or spread out across the entire scale.
(According to Manikandan S., 2011)

Percentage is a relative frequency obtained by dividing the frequency in each

category by the total number of cases and multiplying by 100. In most statistical
reports, frequencies are presented as percentages rather than proportions.
Percentages express the size of the frequencies as if there were a total of 100 cases.
Percentage is used to compare one quantity against another, with the second
quantity rebased to 100. (According to SAGE., 2021)

Weighted Mean is a kind of average. Instead of each data point contributing equally

to the final mean, some data points contribute more “weight” than others. If all the
weights are equal, then the weighted mean equals the arithmetic mean (the regular
“average” you’re used to). Weighted means are very common in statistics, especially
when studying populations. The weighted mean is a type of mean that is calculated
by multiplying the weight (or probability) associated with a particular event or
outcome with its associated quantitative outcome and then summing all the
products together. It is very useful when calculating a theoretically expected
outcome where each outcome shows a different probability of occurring, which is
the key feature that distinguishes the weighted mean from the arithmetic mean

Weighted Mean may be used to evaluate trends in accounting, investing,

grading, population research or other fields in which large quantities of numbers are
gathered, and it allows the final average number to reflect the relative importance of
each number that is being averaged. (According to Mary Arlene C. Carbonera, Ed.D.,
