% = F/N X 100
% = Percentage
F = Frequency
N = Number of respondents
100 = Constant Value
% = 12/30 X 100
% = 30
The formula above was used to determine the percentage. The
frequency was divided by the number of respondents and multiplied the
answer to 100.
The following is the formula to get the Weighted Mean:
Step 1. Number of Respondents who answered multiplied to the Rate of the
Likert Scale.
Step 2. Add all the result of all the Rate of the Likert Scale.
Step 3. The result of the sum of Rate of the Likert Scale divided by the Total

Computation of the Weighted Mean:
Step 1. (Always) 13 x 5 = 65
(Often) 6 x 4 = 24
(Sometimes) 3 x 3 = 9
(Rarely) 5 x 2 = 10
(Never) 3 x 1 = 3
Step 2. Add the result of Step 1.
65 + 24 + 9 + 10 + 3 = 111
Step 3. The result of Step 2 will be divided by the Total Number of
Respondents (30 respondents).
111 /30 = 3.7 (Weighted Mean)
Then, repeat the same computation to all questions. Since the
Weighted Mean is 3.7, the result will fall under (Sometimes) in the
Likert Scale. Analyze the data and interpret it.
