Data Analysis

1) The two most commonly used quantitative data analysis methods are descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. 2) The most commonly used descriptive statistics are mean, median, mode, percentage, frequency, and range. 3) Descriptive analysis is often called univariate analysis. 4) Examples of inferential analysis include correlation, regression, and analysis of variance.

Objective
At the end of this module, the learners are expected to:
• analyze the data obtained from the investigation
Types of Research Data
Data comes in a variety of formats; these are the most common data types.

Qualitative data Quantitative data Categorical data


- If data presented has words and descriptions - any data expressed in numerical figures
- It is data presented in groups.
- observable data but it is subjective and harder to - can be classified, categorized, measured,
