Table 1 shows the descriptive statistics for key variables (demographic and assistance needs)
of immigrants in the city suburb on a sample size of 82. Median and mode are preferred over the
mean in situations where the data is categorical, ordinal, or skewed, as is often the case with assistance
needs variables. In this context, the mean might not be meaningful or interpretable. "For the 'Gender'
variable, the median and mode were both 2.00, denoting a predominant representation of females in
the dataset. Similarly, the 'Current Age' variable, with a median and mode of 2.00, shows a
concentration within the 18-64 years old age group. 'Marital Status' has a median of 1.00, suggesting
a central tendency towards individuals who have never been married, and this is reinforced by the
mode also being 1.00. 'Type of Dwelling' and 'English Proficiency' variables shows the same pattern,
with modes and medians both at 1.00, highlighting a predominant category for separate house
dwelling and very well English proficiency, respectively.
Table 2 presents the distribution of gender within the sample of 82 respondents. Out of
the total sample, 40 respondents (48.8%) identified as Male, while 42 respondents (51.2%)

identified as Female. There are no missing or invalid entries for the 'Gender' variable, as shown
by the ‘Valid Percent’ column.
Table 3 shows the age distribution within the sample of 82 respondents. It reveals that
32.9% of respondents are in the '0-17 YEARS' category, 59.8% fall into the '18-64 YEARS'
category, and 7.3% are in the '65+' category. There are no missing or invalid entries for the
'Current Age' variable, as all age categories have the same valid percent values.
Table 4 provides the marital status distribution within the sample of 82 respondents. The
majority of respondents (86.6%) are 'NEVER MARRIED,' followed by 'WIDOWED' (7.3%),
'DIVORCED' and 'MARRIED' (each at 1.2%), and 'SEPARATED BUT NOT DIVORCED'
(3.7%). The 'Valid Percent' column confirms that there are no missing or invalid entries for the
'Current Marital Status' variable.
Table 5 offers insights into the living arrangements of the 82 respondents. Among the
dwelling categories, 'Separate House' emerges as the predominant choice, representing 63.4% of
the respondents. Other dwelling types include 'Apartment/Unit/Flat' (31.7%), 'Improvised
home/tent' (2.4%), 'Semi-detached/townhouse' (1.2%), and 'Caravan/Cabin/Houseboat' (1.2%).
There are no missing or invalid entries for the 'Type of Dwelling' variable, as assured by the
‘Valid Percent’ column.
Table 6 pertains the distribution of data in English proficiency. The table indicates that a
significant majority of respondents (96.3%) self-report a high proficiency level, specifically
denoting proficiency as 'very well.' A smaller, yet notable, percentage (3.7%) signifies
proficiency at the 'well' level. Noteworthy is the absence of respondents indicating lesser
proficiency levels such as 'not well' or 'not at all.' At the same time, there are no missing or
invalid entries.
Table 8 shows the need for assistance with body movement activities to the preferences
of the 82 respondents. A small percentage (3.7%) always requires assistance, another subset
(2.4%) sometimes needs assistance, and the majority (93.9%) states no need for assistance.
Importantly, there are no missing or invalid entries for this variable, ensuring a complete
representation of responses.

Figure 2 illustrates the distribution of assistance needs with body movement activities
among participants based on their gender. For males, 38 out of 40 reported no need for assistance,
while one participant always requires assistance, and another needs assistance sometimes.
Among females, 39 out of 42 also reported no need for assistance, two always require assistance,
and one needs assistance sometimes. Both males and females predominantly report no need for
assistance, and the differences in the distribution of assistance needs between the two genders

Figure 4 illustrates the distribution of assistance needs with self-care activities across
different age groups. In the "Need for assistance always" category, there is one (1) participant in
the 0-17 years age group and two (2) participants in the 65+ age group. The "Need for assistance
sometimes" category had no participants in the 0-17- and 18-64-years age groups, while two (2)
participants in the 65+ age group reported needing assistance sometimes. The majority of
participants in all age groups (26 in 0-17 years, 49 in 18-64 years, and 2 in 65+) indicated "No
need for assistance" with self-care activities. Overall, the graph suggests that the need for
assistance with self-care activities varies across age groups, with a higher proportion of
participants reporting no need for assistance, particularly in the 18-64 years age group. However,
among those aged 65 and above, there is a notable presence of individuals requiring assistance,
either always or sometimes.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
A government worker has been tasked with gathering data on the well-being of
immigrants residing in a city suburb. The study aims to gather information crucial for
determining the specific types of assistance required by distinct groups within the immigrant
community. With a significance level of 0.05, the study explores the significance of relationships
between demographics (such as gender, age, and English proficiency) and the types of assistance
needed (including self-care activities, body movement activities, and communication activities).
The following is a summary of results using the chi-square test with a significance level
of 0.05:

activities
Along with these are the two questions that seeks to be answered:
1. What kind of assistance do the immigrants need the most? Discuss.
2. Which demographic (age, gender or English proficiency) needs the most assistance?
Explain.
For the first question, as shown by Tables 8,9, and 10, the kind of assistance that
immigrants need the most is the communication activities. Based on the frequency table, we
can see that the majority of immigrants do not need assistance in any of the three categories. The
highest percentage of respondents (93.9%) indicated that they have no need for assistance in self-
care activities, body movement activities, and communication activities. However, if we
compare the percentages of those who indicated a need for assistance, we can see that the highest
percentage is in the category of communication activities. 4.9% of respondents indicated that
they sometimes need assistance in communication activities. This suggests that immigrants may
need the most assistance in communication activities. Communication is a crucial aspect of daily

is drawn from the observation that, among the three demographics analyzed, age and English
proficiency exhibit significant associations with all aspects in the crosstabulations and chi-square

assistance in self-care, body movement, and communication activities. Similarly, English
proficiency emerges as a crucial factor affecting assistance needs across these domains.
Overall, this report will be useful in deciding the type of assistance needed by the specific
groups in the immigrant community.
