Data Gathering Procedure

The data used in this data interpretation was downloaded from the internet. Specifically,

the data was from https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/bahramjannesarr/nobel-prize-from-1901-till-

2020/versions/1?resource=download.

The dataset used was about the Nobel Prize winners from year 1901 to 2020. The data

obtained were then tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted.

Data Analysis Procedure

The total population of the obtained dataset were 923. The data obtained were tabulated,

viewed for completeness and accuracy, encoded, and then processed.

Center, position, and spread were calculated using the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 Software

based on the data collected. The data were then tabulated and interpreted. Graphs were also

constructed and interpreted after the analysis of data.

Table 1 shows the data obtained from the dataset containing the Nobel Prize winners

from 1901 to 2020. It was shown that the total population is 923.
 When the winners were grouped according to their sexuality, 869 or 94.15% were males

and 54 or 5.85% are females.

When classified according to their age, 375 or 40.62% were 55 years old and below, 371

or 40.20% were between 56 to 70 years old and 177 or 19.18% were in the ages 71 years old and

above.

When the winners were grouped according to the category of the Noble Prize they have

won, 184 or 19.93% won Chemistry, 84 or 9.10% won Economics, 116 or 12.57% won literature,

219 or 23.73% won Medicine, 107 or 11.59% won Peace, and 213 or 23.08% won Physics.

Table 2 shows the descriptive statistics of the gender of the Nobel prize winners from

year 1901 to 2020. The overall mean of the Nobel prize winners in terms of gender is 0.94, and a
standard deviation of 0.235 was calculated, with a variance of 0.055. This data has a small

standard deviation, which means that the data points are clustered closely around the mean.

The table also shows the class limit of the data. The minimum value is 0, and the

maximum value is 1, with the range of 1. Skewness was also showed with -3.768 data skewness,

and a standard error of 0.080. The data is skewed to the left and has a negative data skewness,

which indicates that the mean of the data is less than the median.

Table 3 shows the descriptive statistics of the year they won the Nobel prize from 1901 to

2020. The mean of the years is 1971.10, and the standard deviation is 33.606, with a variance of

1129.392. A large standard deviation appeared in the data, which indicates that the data points

spread far from the mean.

The table also shows the class limit of the data. The minimum value is 1901, and the

maximum value is 2019, with the range of 118. Skewness was also showed with -0.480 data

skewness, and a standard error of 0.080. The data is skewed to the left and has a negative data

skewness, which indicates that the mean of the data is less than the median.

Table 4 shows the descriptive statistics of the categories of the Nobel prize won from

1901 to 2020. The overall mean is 3.39, and the standard deviation is 1.924, with a variance of

3.701. The data shows a small standard deviation, which indicates that the data points are

clustered closely around the mean.

The table also shows the class limit of the data. The minimum value is 1, and the

maximum value is 6, with the range of 5. Skewness was also showed with 0.146 data skewness,

and a standard error of 0.080. The data is skewed to the right and has a positive data skewness,

which indicates that the mean of the data is greater than the median.

Table 5 shows the descriptive statistics of the Nobel prize winners from 1901 to 2020 in

terms of age. The overall mean is 59.82, and the standard deviation is 12.571, with a variance of

18.033. The data shows a large standard deviation, which specifies that the data points spread far

from the mean.

The table also shows the class limit of the data. The minimum value is 17, and the
