related variables of the respondents.Formula:

𝑓
Formula: % = 𝑛 × 100

% is the percentage

F is the Frequency

N is the total number of respondents

100 is a constant value

2. Average Weighted Mean

This will be use to determine the assessment of the respondents with regards to their personal

profiles.

∑ Ϝ×𝓃
Formula: 𝑥̅ = 𝒩

𝑥̅ is the weighted mean

F is the frequency

n is the weight

N is the number of respondents
