STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA
The data gathered had been tallied and were analyzed and interpreted
using the following statistical tools:
1. Weighted Mean
The weighted mean was computed to get the average or central
value of the responses in every statement using this formula:
( x1 * 5)  ( x2 * 4)  ( x3 * 3)  ( x4 * 2)  ( x5 *1)
n
WM=
Where: WM= Weighted Mean
X1=no. of respondents in strongly agree
X2=no. of respondents in agree
X3=no. of respondents in neutral
X4=no. of respondents in disagreed
X5=no. of respondents in strongly disagree
n= total no. of respondents
The General Weighted Mean was computed using this formula:
x
GWM=
8
Where: GWM= General Weighted Mean
 x = summation of the weighted mean
2. Likert Scale
The weighted mean of every statement were interpreted using the
5-point likert scale system referring to the table:
