Descriptive statistics for college major were calculated. Of the total 132 students who provided information about their college major, 102 (or 77.3%) indicated that psychology was their major and 30 (or 22.7%) indicated a major other than psychology. Looking at the bar graph, it appears thatthe number of students who indicated that psychology was their major was far greater than the number of students who had a major other than psychology.

Summary Example 2 (numerical variable): Students enrolled in PSYC 295: Statistical Methods completed an exam at the end of one of four course modules. Descriptive statistics for test scores for 135 students were calculated. The average test score was 77.89 (M = 77.89), and the standard deviation was 11.06 (SD = 11.06). This indicates that 68% of the students had a score that was between 66.83 and 88.98. The middle score was 71.63 (Mdn. - 71.63), indicating that half of the scores were above 71.63 and half were below. The test score of 69.25 was the most frequently occurring score. The range was 60.75, with the lowest score of 38.00 and the highest score of 98.75. Looking at the histogram, it appears that the test score data were negatively skewed, with more students achieving higher test scores. Due to the skewness of the data, the median of 71.63 is likely a moreaccurate measure of central tendency than the mean.
