Activity 3
Instructions: Study the problem carefully. Answer it in a systematically based on the
activity guide below. Feel free to annotate your answer showing you fully understand
step by step process. Be as detailed as possible.

Content Input
The weighted mean is a grand mean of means in which the contributions of
weighted by the number of respondents in each group. In computing the weighted
mean ( X ) for those data from a sample group, we shall have the formula below which
is known among many educators.

X=
∑ f i Xi where: X shall refer to the weighted mean
n
f is the frequency
x refers to the weight, and
n points to the number of cases

Example:
Find the weighted mean of the following results of tallies from one of the survey
items in a questionnaire, which sought to determine the 210 respondents’ opinion
regarding the plan of a businessman to put up or open an internet café 100 meters
away from the school. Let us say that the results of survey in the questionnaire are as
follows: Strongly Agree (SA) = 6 responses; Agree (A) = 12 responses; Undecided (U) =
16 responses; Disagree (D) = 105; Strongly Disagree (SD) = 71 responses.

Computation:

X=
∑ f i X i = f 1 X 1 +f 2 X 2 + f 3 X 3+ f 4 X 4 + f 5 X 5
n n

= 6 ( 5 ) +¿ ¿
30+48+ 48+210+71
=
210
407
=
210
= 1.94
With the hypothetical mean ranges of the weight from 1 to 5, we now can
calculate the interval of the ranges as follows:

the highest weight minus thelowest weight

Interval (i) =
number of options
 In our example, we have 5 -Strongly Agree (SA) as the highest while 1-Strongly
Disagree (SD) as the lowest weight. In fact, we have 5 options to consider from these
established weights. Now,
5−1 4
i= = = 0.80
5 5

Hence, the ranges with their corresponding descriptions are as follows:

Range Verbal Description

4.20 – 5.00 Strongly Agree (SA)
3.40 – 4.19 Agree (A)
2.60 – 3.39 Undecided (U)
1.80 – 2.59 Disagree (D)
1.00 – 1.79 Strongly Disagree (SD)

As can be gleaned above, the intervals,(i) between 4.20 &3.40, between 3.40
&2.60, between 2.60 & 1.80, between 1.80 &1.00 are all having the same differential
value of 0.80, respectively. Similarly, such patterns are likewise observed along the
other column. Somehow, the above exhibit of both range and verbal description shall
lead to the perceptive result from a computed weighted mean of the data set from a
sample group or a particular survey item.
Since the computed value of x = 1.94 fell within the range of 1.80 – 2.59, thus,
one can claim that the respondents to this survey item have expressly disagreed to the
plan of a businessman to put up or open an internet café 100 meters away from the
school.

Activity Proper:

With the foregoing, the task now shall be the following:

A. Utilize the data set from the attached MS Excel file
B. Calculate the weighted mean of the data set using the manual computation and
excel formulas.
C. Outputs for manual scheme can be submitted by using manual computation by
pasting it below. However, considering the bulk of data we recommend using
excel formulas. However, there are many ways to kill the cat. Use the method
you see is the most effective for you.
D. Provide analyses and interpretations of the scientific results generate graphs
and analysis of the results.

Presentation of Outputs Starts Here:

 Calculate the weighted mean of the data set using the manual
computation and excel formulas.

Hence, the ranges with their corresponding descriptions are as follows:

Range Verbal Description

4.20 – 5.00 Strongly Agree (SA)
3.40 – 4.19 Agree (A)
2.60 – 3.39 Undecided (U)
1.80 – 2.59 Disagree (D)
1.00 – 1.79 Strongly Disagree (SD)

Based on the ranges with their corresponding description, 4 out of 25 questions

the respondents are agree and 21 out of 25 questions the respondents are
disagree. So therefore, most of the respondents are disagree to the given data
set questions.
