If you are considering a single ordinal variable, determining the mode or median would be meaningful, but the mean or SD would not. Many researchers do consider likert-scale data to possess only ordinal qualities. However, leading research studies, for example in the marketing area, obtain measures such as means and standard deviations from likert-scale data. Indeed leading textbooks also follow this approach. One concern has been that the 'distances' between points on a likert scale are not equal, for example the 'distance' or 'difference' between a strongly disagree and disagree is not the same as the difference between disagree and neutral. A recent study discusses these issues, as well as demonstrating that data obtained from 5-point, 7-point and 10-point likert scales are approximately comparable in terms of mean score (once re-scaled) and various measures of variation and data shape. The study reference is Dawes, John "Do Data Characteristics Change According to the Number of Scale Points Used ? An Experiment using 5-point, 7-point and 10-point Scales" International Journal of Market Research, Vol 50 2008.
Wt is the formula to convert cgpa to percentage in 10 point scale
To convert 0.000486 into scientific notation, move the decimal point 3 places to the right to make it a number between 1 and 10. Thus, 0.000486 becomes 4.86 x 10^-4 in scientific notation.
To convert 1000000 into scientific notation, move the decimal point to the left until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, the decimal point would be moved six places to the left. Thus, 1000000 in scientific notation is written as 1.0 x 10^6.
