Univariate Analysis using Excel

ECE 102: PROBABILITY, STATISTICS, AND RANDOM PROCESSES FOR ELECTRONICS

By:
Jevan M. Racaza
Course and Section: ECE 102 – MN1

Instructor: Engr. Alfred Dennis V. Balamad

Due Date: October 31, 2024


INTRODUCTION

Univariate analysis focuses on understanding the distribution and behavior of a single


variable. Through this lab, you will create a frequency distribution, explore the variable’s
distribution using histograms, and calculate skewness and kurtosis to understand the shape and
characteristics of the data.

OBJECTIVES

• To understand and calculate frequency distributions.


• To generate histograms and interpret the distribution shape.
• To calculate skewness and kurtosis for assessing distribution symmetry and peakedness

METHODOLOGY

The resources utilized by the students in this lab include MS Excel, a software that can
create frequency distribution tables, histograms for data visualization, and perform calculations
for skewness and kurtosis. The dataset for this lab consists of the results from laboratory 1, which
includes the test scores of 20 students who participated in a Mathematics Exam. This information
will be displayed using various types of charts, including bar graphs, histograms, and pie charts.
1. Dataset: Use your data from Laboratory 1 (e.g., product weights).

Table 1. Result for skewness and kurtosis

Skewness -0.334131572
Kurtosis -0.934322921

Skewness (-0.33): Skewness indicates the asymmetry of a data distribution. A skewness value of
-0.33 implies that the distribution of Math scores is somewhat left-skewed, signifying the
presence of a few higher scores that cause the distribution to lean slightly to the left.
Nevertheless, since this value is near zero, the skew is minor, suggesting a relatively symmetric
distribution of scores.
Kurtosis (-0.93): Kurtosis assesses the "tailedness" of a distribution. A kurtosis value of -0.93
signifies a somewhat platykurtic distribution, indicating that the distribution has lighter tails and
appears flatter compared to a normal distribution. This implies that extreme scores (whether very
high or very low) occur less frequently, with the majority of students scoring near the average.

SUMMARY

The histogram and statistical outcomes show that the Math scores are fairly symmetrically
distributed around the middle range, with a slight pull toward higher scores (left skew). The low
kurtosis value indicates a flatter distribution, signifying that scores are less clustered around the
mean and that there are fewer extreme values or outliers. In general, this implies a fairly balanced
and consistent level of performance among the students in Math.
