Central tendency and dispersion Upon performing data analysis using descriptive statistics, skew values and central tendencies, as well as, dispersion of data was visual evident. Central tendency is basically the cluster of data values while dispersion deals with the range of data values and how they are spread out. Additionally, dispersion reflects the amount of variation in the data. In the category of education, the central tendency focused on range of 10 – 12 years at 51 percent and 12 – 18 years slightly below but still significant at 39 percent. These values make up 90 percent of the data for this category. Regarding salary, dispersion of data played a significant role as the data was widely distributed ranging from $10,000 to $83,000 annually. The central tendency revolved around the range of $15K - $36K, for a total of 63 percent while greater than $36K made up 24 percent and less than $15K comprised 13 percent. Another area which illustrates central tendency and dispersion of data is age with a range in years of 18 to 64. Forty-seven percent fell in the age range of 32 – 53 while those younger than 32 represented 33 percent and those older than 53 characterized the lowest percentage for this category. Other demographic criteria such as Hispanic versus Non-white, Female, Southern Resident, Union, Married, and type of Industry were skewed due to limited options of variability with the exception of the Female category which had a balanced outcome of 47 percent female to 53 percent male. The findings represent a significant showing for central tendency in categories that contained greater ranges such as Age, Salary, Wage, and Education while groupings that were defined by “yes or no” variables were more skewed in nature.
