Q

the culmination of the long process of formulating a hypothesis, constructing the instrument, and collecting data. It is used to properly test the hypothesis, answer the research questions, and presents the results of the study in a clear and understandable manner. In quantitative research, it deals with numerical data, as in most surveys and experiments, it is logical to use statistical treatment.

26
Q

It is the total frequency divided by the number of cases in each category. It can be derived from the frequency distribution

A

Proportion

27
Q

It is the proportion expressed in percentage (proportion × 100)

Example:
The data below show some of the personal information of 20 respondents in a study.
*For Gender: M = Male, F = Female
*For Civil Status: S = Single, M= Married, W = Widowed, WR = Widower
*For Highest Educational Attainment: N = did not graduate in elementary, E = Elementary, H = High School, C = College, G = Post Graduate

A

Percentage

28
Q

It indicated whether the center of the distribution tends to be located. It refers to the typical average score in a distribution

A

Measures of Central Tendency

29
Q

It is the exact mathematical center of a distribution. It is equal to the sum of all scores divided by the number of cases.

A

Mean

30
Q

It is the middlemost value in a distribution below or above which is exactly 50% cases that are found.

A

Median

31
Q

It refers to the most frequently occurring score in a distribution

A

Mode

32
Q

It refers to the extent and manner in which the scores in a distribution differ from each other.

A

Variability or Dispersion

33
Q

It is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value in the given distribution.

A

Range

34
Q

It is the measure of variation that takes into consideration the deviations of the individual scores from the mean.

A

Average Deviation.

35
Q

It is the square of the standard deviation.

A

Variance.

36
Q

It is the square root of the quotient of the total squared deviation of the mean and total number of cases.

A

Standard Deviation.

37
Q

Enumerate the common statistical tools in inferential statistics

A
  1. Variables
  2. Data
  3. Purpose
38
Q

To determine the statistical to be used in variables, what should be noted?

A

“How many variables?”

39
Q

To determine the statistical to be used in data, what should be noted?

A

What level of measurement?

40
Q

To determine the statistical to be used in Purpose, what should be noted?

A

What type of question?

41
Q

Enumerate the levels of measurement of variables

A
  1. Nominal Data
  2. Ordinal Data
  3. Interval Data
  4. Ratio Data
42
Q

These are attributes that only name variable. These data are considered at the simplest level or categorical level.

A

Nominal Data

43
Q

It does not only classify items, but also give the order or ranks of classes, items, or objects. It is still a weak form of measurement, because the ordering implies to which category is “greater” or “lesser” – not how much “greater” or “lesser”

A

Ordinal Data

44
Q

It is used to classify order and differentiate between classes or categories in terms of degrees of differences. It has no true zero point.

A

Interval Data

45
Q

It differs from interval scale only in one aspect: it has a true zero point (complete absence of the property being measured).

A

Ratio Data

46
Q

What are the types of test?

A

-Parametric Test
-Non-Parametric Test

47
Q

The kind of test that measures the level of either the data possess an interval or ratio

A

Parametric Test

48
Q

The type of test when the data are nominal or ordinal

A

Non-Parametric Test

49
Q

Enumerate the types of research question

A

-Descriptive Questions
-Relationship Questions
-Comparison Questions

50
Q

To identify participant’s responses to a single variable or question

A

Descriptive Questions

Q

A

Relationship Questions.

52
Q

To find out how two or more groups on an independent variable differ in terms of one or more outcome variables

A

Comparison Questions.

53

56
Q

This is used to show relationship with given three or more independent variables

A

Multiple Regression Analysis.

  2. How significantly different are the three instructional methods of teaching research to four groups of students?
58
Q

This is used for at least 30 respondents in research and to compare two independent samples

A

t-test.

59
Q

This is used to compare the sample mean and the perceived population mean of more than 30 samples

A

z-test.

60
Q

This is used when comparing the means of two or more independent groups ; it is also a set of difference between the observed and the expected frequencies in a study
