Table 1.1
The line graph showcasing the average scores by respondents provides insights into the
performance trends across respondents. Each line on the graph likely represents an individual
respondent, tracking their average scores across different evaluations or criteria. The x-axis likely
represents the respondents, while the y-axis displays the average scores achieved. Observing the lines,
variations in the trends of scores for each respondent become apparent. Fluctuations, trends, or
consistency in performance across different assessments or over time might be observable. The graph
helps identify patterns, trends, and potential outliers among respondents' performance. Some
respondents may exhibit consistent high or low average scores, while others might display
fluctuations or variations in their performance across the assessments. Analyzing the graph enables
the identification of trends in respondent performance, potentially indicating areas of strengths,
weaknesses, or changes in performance over the evaluated criteria or time periods.

Table 1.2
The bar graph depicting the average scores of Q1, Q2, and Q3 by gender likely presents a
comparison between the average scores of different assessment categories (Q1, Q2, and Q3) across
genders. The x-axis probably represents the assessment categories (Q1, Q2, Q3), while the y-axis
displays the average scores attained. There might be separate bars for each assessment category, with
different colors or patterns indicating the gender-specific averages. Interpreting the graph offers
insights into the performance variations between genders across these specific assessments.
Comparison between the bar heights within each assessment category illustrates how males and
females scored on average in Q1, Q2, and Q3. The graph facilitates the identification of potential
disparities or similarities in average scores between genders across different assessment categories. It
helps in understanding whether one gender tends to perform consistently higher or lower across these
specific assessments. Analyzing the bar heights for each assessment category allows for observations
on performance patterns, showcasing potential strengths or weaknesses between genders in those
specific evaluation areas.

The bar graph illustrating the average scores of Q1, Q2, and Q3 by course likely presents a
comparison of average scores across different courses for each assessment category. The x-axis most
likely represents the assessment categories (Q1, Q2, Q3), while the y-axis displays the average scores
achieved. Each assessment category might have separate bars representing different courses, possibly
distinguished by various colors or patterns. Interpreting the graph provides insights into the
performance variations among different courses across these specific assessments. Comparing the bar
heights within each assessment category demonstrates how each course's average scores compare in
Q1, Q2, and Q3. The graph facilitates the identification of potential disparities or similarities in
average scores among various courses across these specific assessments. It helps in understanding
whether certain courses tend to perform consistently higher or lower across these assessment
categories. Analyzing the bar heights for each assessment category allows observations on

Laboratory Activity 2 – Descriptive Statistics
Kurtosis 0.672221
Table 1.5
Covariance between Respondent No. and Respondent No. is not used in analyses as it's a
variable correlated with itself.
Covariance between Respondent No. and Ass_1 is about 74.92.
Covariance between Respondent No. and Ass_2 is around 3385.83.
Covariance between Ass_1 and Ass_2 is approximately 4913349.
Covariance measures the tendency for two variables to change together. A positive covariance
suggests that when one variable increases, the other tends to increase, while a negative
covariance implies the opposite relationship.
However, interpreting covariance alone can be challenging due to its dependency on variable
scales. To gain a more standardized insight into their relationship, it's better to use the correlation
coefficient. This normalized measure provides a standardized assessment of the variables'
relationship, independent of their scales.

Table 1.6
Respondent No. and Respondent No.: Perfect correlation (1) as it's a variable correlated with
itself.
Respondent No. and Ass_1: Very weak positive correlation at approximately 0.1899.
Respondent No. and Ass_2: Similar to Ass_1, a very weak positive correlation at
approximately 0.1765.
Ass_1 and Ass_2: Demonstrates a moderately strong positive correlation around 0.7432.

Correlation near 1 indicates a strong positive linear relationship.
Correlation near 1 indicates a strong positive linear relationship.
Correlation close to -1 signifies a strong negative linear relationship.
Correlation close to 0 implies a weak or no linear relationship between variables.

The regression model is statistically significant (p < 0.05) as indicated by a small p-value
(2.54932E-06) in the F-test.
The model explains a significant amount of variance in the dependent variable, supported by
the F-value of 34.54.
