research because they allow the researchers to analyze empirical data needed to interpret the findings and draw conclusions based on the results of the research. According to Portney and Watkins (2009)‚ all studies require a description of subjects and responses that are obtained through measuring central tendency‚ so all studies use descriptive statistics to present an appropriate use of statistical tests and the validity of data interpretation. Although descriptive statistics do not allow general

Data Representation Data and instructions that are presented in a written or typed format can only be understood by the user. If the data is not in the user’s language‚ s/he will not be able to understand it. It is the same way with the computer; the computer’s language is binary 0s and 1s. The computer cannot understand typed or written instructions or data. Whenever data or instructions or input to the computer it is first converted to 0s and 1s‚ these are called binary digits (bits).

Using the Standard Deviation You made a number of observations about the data sets for the school activities. You used mean and median to measure the center of the data‚ and you used the interquartile range (IQR) to measure the spread. When outliers are present‚ the median and IQR are used to measure center and spread because they are unaffected by extreme values. When the data appears to be symmetric and there are no known outliers‚ the mean and standard deviation (another measure of spread)
