... is to describe a set of data. They are used to provide manageable summaries of data sets. They are the simplest and most widely used set of statistics and in many data analysis projects they will provide all the information required. There are many techniques available for describing a set of data. In this course we will look at three groups of univariate statistics, namely i) Frequency Distributions (ii) Measures of Central Tendency (iii) Measures of Dispersion We will also examine three bivariate techniques i) Crosstabs (ii) Tables of Means (iii) Correlation 2.1 Frequency Distributions - The frequency of a variable value is the number of times that value occurs in a set of data - A frequency distribution is simply a table of frequencies for all possible values of the variable. - They are relatively simple to construct and interpret; yet they still provide a very powerful tool for examining data. Example 2.1 2.1 Frequency Distribution of the number of cars owned by 500 households |Number of Cars |Frequency | |0 |70 | |1 |210 | |2 |120 | |3 |70 | |4 |30 | |Total |500 ...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction “Stress is not what happens to us. It is our response to what happens. And response is something we can choose.” This sagacious saying was quoted by Dr. Maureen Killoran, a certified universalist and an advocate on health and wellness. The quotation imparts to us that stress is not altogether negative as what most people would think at first. It still depends on how an individual sees and copes with the stress placed upon him. If you perceive potentially stressful events as a challenge instead of a threat, less stress will most likely result. Stress does not have to control your life because it can be managed. (http://krystalk.wrytestuff.com/swa560692-Stress-Management-Managing-Stress-Before-Its-Manages-You.htm) However, stress, it seems, knows no age, race, gender, religion, nationality, or socio-economic class. For this reason, it is called “the equal opportunity destroyer,” for when left unresolved, stress can undermine all aspects of your life. (Seaward, 2006) Although it may seem that stress becomes a critical mass in your life once you leave home and get to college, the truth is that manifestations associated with stress started much earlier than college years. It is just that, the peak of the most stressful events in your life happens in college. College students, especially freshmen, are a group particularly prone to stress due to the transitional nature of college life. (Ross, 1999) As one shifts from...

In order to receive full credit on calculated answers, please show your work. (Use Word's equation editors, etc., and/or provide a short written description as to how you obtained the final result.) Exercise 11 (4 points per question) 1. What demographic variables were measured at least at the interval level of measurement? Age, Income, Length of labor, Return to work, and Number of hours working per week. 2. What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in this study? Were these appropriate? Sample size, Median and Standard Deviation were used to describe the length of labor in the experimental group and Population, Median, and Standard Deviation were used to describe length of labor in the control group. Because length of labor is considered an interval level of measurement, using these statistics were appropriate. 3. What other statistic could have been used to describe the length of labor? Provide a rationale for your answer. I believe mean could have been used to describe length of labor. By calculating the mean, you can figure out the average length of labor of the population. 4. Were the distributions of scores similar for the experimental and control groups for the length of labor...

...Date:11/16/2014______________________________________________ EXERCISE-11 1) What demographic variables were measured at least at the interval level of measurement Education is measured at the interval scales because the data is measured on specific intervals, and grades of education. 2) What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in this study? Were these appropriate? Length of Labor is measured in hours. It is s an appropriate measurement because the time measured is less than a 24 hours. 3) What other statistic could have been used to describe the length of labor? Provide a rationale for your answer Length of Labor could have been measure in minutes for more accurate measurement. 4) Were the distributions of scores similar for the experimental and control groups for the length of labor? Provide a rationale for your answer. Both groups showed similar scores, well inside the first standard deviation. 5 ) Were the experimental and control groups similar in their type of feeding? Provide a rationale for your answer. The percentages of both the groups were similar in the type of feeding. The differences in the scores are a result of difference in the number of subjects. 6) What was the marital status mode for the subjects in the experimental and control groups?

What demographics variables were measured at least at interval level measurement? The demographics variables measured at least on the interval level measurement were the number of hours per week and length of labor hours. 2. What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in this study? Where these appropriate? The mean and standard deviation were used to describe the length of labor of for both group the control and experimental group. I agree these were appropriate measures of statistics. 3. What other statistics could have been used to describe the length of labor? Provide rationale for your answer. In my opinion in addition to the mean and standard deviation, the mode could be used in this study to also describe the length of labor. It will give us and idea of how long the common length of labor was. The median could also been used, but in my opinion will not be more beneficial to knowing the average and the most common length of hours on the control and experimental groups. 4. Were the distributions of scores similar for the experimental and control groups for the length of labor? Provide rationale for your answer. The standard deviation for the experimental group was 7.78(length of hours) and for the control group was 7.2(length of hours).By looking at the scores of the standard deviation my opinion...

What demographic variables were measured at least at the interval level of measurement? The Demographic Variable measured at the least level of measurement in this study was the participants’ age, income, length of labor, and hours of work per week. According to this week reading the interval level of measurement are from lowest to highest and have numerical order that are ranked. The differences are noted to be equal between the two return to work/number of hours working per week (8). And the annual income/length of labor (30). (Grove, S.). 2. What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in this study? Were these appropriate? The Statistics that were used to describe the length of labor in this study was Mean and Standard Deviation. This is appropriate to use with the interval/ration data collection. Most of the time Mean Median and Mode are use and seems to make the most since when grouping and defining the different values. Standard Deviation provides us the valid output and tells us how distant and dispersed out data is. (Lane,M). 3. What other statistic could have been used to describe the length of labor? Provide a rationale for your answer. Another measurement that could have been used is range to measure the length of labor from lowest to highest value. “Range also gives us the measurement of the spread...

...THE ROLES OF COLLEGE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS IN CALABARZON: IMPLICATIONS TO GUIDANCE PROGRAM AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION M. H. A. SEMIRA Batangas State University Gov. Pablo Borbon Campus I, Rizal Avenue, Batangas City ABSTRACT The study was undertaken to identify and assess the roles of college guidance counselors in CALABARZON and its implications to the schools guidance program and school administration. According to Erford (2003), the transformative roles of school counselors were leaders, advocates, collaborators, counselors and coordinators and data utilizers. Likewise, Kuhn (2004) explained that better understanding of the roles of guidance counselors diminished some of the misconceptions and confusions of the counselors’ roles. The above-mentioned roles were reflective of the American culture that is why the present study utilized the guidance counselors’ roles presented by De Jesus (2006) which was based on Philippine context. Findings revealed that the guidance counselors highly recognized their roles as counselor, coordinator, consultant, conductor of activities, and change agent. Thus, they were contributory to the effective implementation of the guidance programs in every college or university in the region under study. INTRODUCTION The roles of school counselors have changed dramatically over time. As the 20th century began, school counselors did not exist. Instead teachers were using few minutes of their day to provide students with vocational...
