Cross-Tabulation
Cross-Tabulation
A commonly used quantitative data analysis method that uses a basic tabular form to draw inferences between different data sets.
Nominal Scales
Nominal Scales
Scales that represent categories with no inherent order (e.g., gender, hair color).

Study Notes
- Quantitative data analysis methods involve cross-tabulation, a commonly used method for drawing inferences between dependent and independent variables using a basic tabular form.
Steps to Conduct Quantitative Data Analysis
- Relate measurement scales with variables by associating scales such as nominal, ordinal, and ratio with dependent and independent variables.
- Connect descriptive statistics with available data, though establishing a pattern in raw data can be difficult.
- Choose appropriate tables to represent, analyze collected data and decide on a measurement scale.
- Collect data and make it as readable as possible.
- Choose the type of data analysis to perform and think, reflect and apply qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques.
Commonly Used Descriptive Statistics:
- Mean: averages values for a specific variable.
- Median: describes a midpoint of the value scale for variable.
- Mode: identifies the most common value for a given variable.
- Frequency: the number of times a particular value occurs in a scale.
- Minimum and Maximum Values: refers to the lowest and highest values for the scale.
- Percentages: a way of expressing scores and sets of values for variables.
- Range: the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of values.
Measurement scales:
- Nominal scales: used for categories.
- Ordinal scales: used for ranking and ordering data.
- Interval scales: measure variables with equal intervals between values.
- Ratio scales: involve comparisons and computations such as ratios, percentages, and averages.
Example Data Interpretation
- In a study in El Salvador, nearly 45.33% of respondents were aged 21-30, whereas only 9.3% were 51-61 years old and above. 21.33% were in the 31-40 age range.
- This age profile reflects the current age demographic for Filipinos, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
- Indicate a younger age cohort is entering the workforce.
