The frequency distribution of the respondents’ highest degree shows high school attendants with the highest percentage (50% valid) fallowed by the bachelor degree holders. We can also see a total frequency of 2538 (N) to represent all the available subjects in the distribution. The range plays an important measure of variation, in that, it tells us the dissimilarity between the highest and the least data values. According to the frequency distribution, 4 stands as the range of the variation. Looking at the bar chart, I am disappointed to see how many respondents attended graduate schools as compared to the high number of high school graduates. Based on the results, this posed a threat to the implication for positive social change. Cumulative percentage, which is the percentage of the cumulative frequency within each interval, shows 88.9% for RS bachelor degree. The qualitative variable of RS highest degree is not so much of a variable data. This is because of the order in which it can be put into, and the data may not have some consistent order at all (Frankfort-Nachmias, & Leon-Guerrero, 2015)
