Statistical Treatment Data

Data

summarized

and

tabulated.

These

were

categorized and described by computing descriptive statistics. These

statistics are given to the analysis of data that helps describe, show or
summarize data in a meaningful way such that, patterns might emerge from
the data.

These statistics included the frequency counts and descriptors

which are very important because if it simply presented raw data it would be
hard to visualize what the data was showing. It therefore, enabled to present
the data in a meaningful way, and which allows simpler interpretation of the
data.
