Percentage Formula %=f/nx100 Where:%=percentageF=frequencyn=total number of respondents 2.CHI SQUARECHI SQUARE- a statistical calculation used to test how well the distribution of a set of observed data matches a theoretical probability distribution.The calculated value is equal to the sum of the squares of the differences divided by the expected values. WHERE:= =Chi square Fo=observed frequency Fe=expected frequency This is the formula for chi square: == 32. The computation for the degree of freedom is necessary in order to obtain the critical value (P). The formula is: df= (r-1)(k-1) Where:r = number of rows k = number of columns df= degree of freedom Hypothesis Ho = there is no significant variation between the obtain/actual and expected frequencies Ha = There is a significant variation between the obtain/actual and expected frequencies Where: Ho = Stands for Null Hypothesis Ha = Stands for Alternative Hypothesis 33. 3.WEIGHTED MEANAnother statistical technique used by the researchers was the weighted mean. It was used to determine the averages responses of the different options provided in the various parts of the survey questionnaire used. The method is used in conjunctions with the likert scale. It was solved by the formula X= fx/n where;X= weighted mean fx/n= the sum of all the products of f and x ,being frequency of each weight of each operationN= total number of respondents4.RANKING This is a descriptive measure to describe numerical data in addition to percentage. Ranking was used in the study for the comparative purpose and for shrink the importance of items analyzed.
