QUESTION 4 -- RECODE NATCRIMY

In order to have a meaningful representation those "Inapplicable, Don't Know and No Answer" had been recode to 4 and 5. Because of this, now the observation dispersion is scattered among 5 conditions from 6 conditions.

a.

In term of levels of measurement, mode, standard deviation and range had shown a significant difference with Mode, measurement shows a significant change from 0.0 to 5. Since most of the "Inapplicable, Don't Know and No Answer" had been recoded to 4 and 5, the Range for variables before and after recode is represented by a difference of 5 (which explains why Mode is 5).

b.

In terms of frequency of distribution, since 50% of the results were recoded, frequency for each response also drops by 50%. This is evidence in term of cumulative percentage. For example Categories 1 for NATCRIMY before recode cumulative percentage is 74.5 but after recode 25.1.

c.

mode, median and mean had shown a significant difference after recode. Mode measurement showed a significance change from 0 to 5 as mentioned earlier. Mean for before recode is shown as 0.8 but after recode mean is 3.0. This indicates that categories 4 and 5 which had been recorded contributes toward 3 times the whole mean of population.

d.

Standard deviation recode is recorded at 1.2 but after recode close to 1. This indicates the dispersion of the finding had been spread further as a result of regrouping certain observation under new observation categories.
