Includes those techniques and tools used for the collection, display, and analysis of data for the purpose of making decisions or constructing mathematical models. For example, the relative effectiveness of two different drugs in treating a certain disease could be decided by analysis of data resulting from testing the treatments on different ground. It is the science of collecting, organizing, summarizing, analyzing, and making inferences from data. The subject of statistics is divided into two broad areas descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
1.2.1 Qualitative Data Qualitative data is a categorical measurement expressed not in terms of numbers, but rather by means of a natural language description. Example: the eye color of female basketball players. When the categories may be ordered, these are called ordinal variables. 1.2.2 Quantitative Data Quantitative data is a numerical measurement expressed not by means of a natural language description, but rather in terms of numbers. Example: the heights of female basketball players Not all numbers are continuous and measurable. Quantitative data always are associated with a scale measure.
Qualitative Data The reason why we chose this topic to be used for our qualitative survey is because birth months are only describes the type of month and not involving any numbers rather than our survey based on frequency calling your parents in a month that involving numbers of calling. We can apply this kind of survey in our daily live because in an organization we need to have the birth month information for our workers or employee so that we will know who the one is just passed the birthday.
1.3 Why chose survey title
Quantitative Data The reason that we chose the topic for our quantitative data is because it is really suits the need in the quantitative data which involving the numbers rather than language descriptive. In our data we only used numbers of calling and not using the type of call for the survey. That is what meant by quantitative data. We want to know how much time that they spent of calling their parent. This will lead to a data which might be useful as a data for counseling session for the students in this campus.

Number of Calls Frequency of Calling Parents in A Month 4.0 Central Tendencies The Mean The mean of a variable is computed by the sum of all of the values of the variable in the data set divided by the number of observations. The population mean is denoted (and is a parameter). The sample mean is denoted x (and is a statistic).
Example: Data:100, 78, 65, 43, 94, 58 Mean: The sum of a collection of data divided by the number of data 43 + 58 + 65 + 78 + 94 + 100 = 438 438 6 = 73 Mean is 73 The Median The median of a variable is the value that lies in the middle of the data when arranged in ascending order. Half the data are below the median and half are above the median. The median is denoted M. How to Find the Median Arrange the data in ascending order. Determine the number of observations and call it n. If n is odd, the median is the observation in the position. If n is even, the median is the mean of the two middle observations. Example: Data : 100, 78, 65, 43, 94, 58
Example: Data : 100, 78, 65, 43, 94, 58 Median: The middle number of the set of data. If the data has an even number of data, you add the 2 middle numbers and divide by 2. 65 + 78 = 143 143 2 = 71.5 Median is 71.5
The Mode The mode of a variable is the most frequent observation that occurs in the data set. To find the mode, tally the number of observations for each value of the variable. If no observation occurs more than once, the data have no mode. There can be more than one mode. Example: Data:100, 78, 65, 78, 43, 94, 58 Mode is 78
Pros and Cons of the Mean, Median, and Mode The most appropriate measure of central tendency will depend on the data. The mode can be used for both qualitative and quantitative data. For small data sets (relatively few observations) the mean is influenced by extreme values, but the median is resistant. For large data sets (many observations) the mean and median tend to be close to each other. The mean is easier to calculate than the median since we do not have to sort the data. Mode - Qualitative Data Calculate the mode from the data.
By following the table, the highest frequency is 11, so the answer is February. Mode = February

By using the formula of mean that is:

Number of Calls Frequency of Calling Parents in A Month Median = 7.25 2. Using Graph 5.0 INTERPRETATION OF DATA Qualitative Survey/ Data From our survey on 70 students of PPISMP Sem 3 IPG Kampus Perlis, we found and decided that most of them were borned on the month of February which is 11/70 students. This also can be state as 15% of the students were borned on February based from the pie chart. Followed by September and April there are both 9/70 which is 13% of the students were borned on this month respecticely. The third population is 7/ 70 students were borned on November which leads to a percentage of 10% students. Then in decreasing order, we have 6 students borned on January, 5 students on both June and August, and 4 students on May, July, October and December. Lastly we have 3% which is 2/70 students that borned on March.
Quantitative Survey/ Data From our survey over 68 students PPISMP Sem 3 IPG Kampus Perlis, we found and decided that most of them calling their parents 3 times in a month. This is because there are 27/68 or 40% of the students calling their parents at this rate per month based from the survey we had done. This is then followed by 20 students that made the call 8 times in a month, 29% students made the call 13 times in a month, 5/68 students made the call 18 times a month and 4 students call their parents 23 times per month. For 28 times per month we had 2 students who made the call and lastly we had 1 student for both making the calls 33 and 38 times in a month. These data were obtained from the frequency of the midpoint of class interval for this survey based on 68 students.
