The type of descriptive statistics was used to summarize and describe the data on central tendency. The central tendency used in this part was mean Mn. Mean Mn is the average of all points in a distribution. The following pattern is the pattern to calculate the mean Mn: Σx x = N N : Total participants x : Mean Σx : The sum of the score
