3. Introduction
This is our final assignment for Mathematics. This assignment is designed to
provide us with experience on how to conducta survey, to organize, present the data
and we were assumed to work in a group to study the understanding level of female
and male students in Taylor’s University on the common chronic disease, Epilepsy
in Malaysia.
Epilepsy, also known as a chronic disorder where a condition that affects the
brain and causes repeated seizures. Nowadays, people can get Epilepsy in any age
and the most important thing to do when u saw a personduring seizure, you have to
put a cloth or anything soft for the patient to bite so that they won’t bite their own
tongue.
Thus, we chooseEpilepsy as our topic because we would like to find out how
well do adults between aged 18 – 30 know about it. There are 18 questions in our
survey form, through the survey form we can analyze the understanding level of
young adults on this common chronic disease in Malaysia.
4. Objectives
The main objective of this assignment is to study the understanding level of
female and male students in Taylors University on one of the common chronic
diseases in Malaysia. We chose epilepsy as our topic because people often
misunderstand or even do not know about this disease.
This task is to collect and organize the statistical data. Besides that, we can
apply the knowledge that we obtained to analyze the statistical data and draw
conclusion from the data. From there, we able to understand the information that is
being presented and to ask the right questions about any conclusions that are drawn
from it.
5. Methodology
Data for this report were gathered from 21 December 2015 to 8 January 2016.
A questionnaire survey about the disease “Epilepsy” was carried out from 28
December 2015 to 8 January 2016. The questionnaires were distributed to a total of
250 students, which consists of 125 male students and 125 female students. Each of
us were responsible to survey 50 students which consist of 25 male and 25 female.
All the 250 female and male students did the questionnaires on paper. The
questionnaires were distributed to students from Taylor’s University Lakeside
Campus in the library and outside of the Student Life Central. These questionnaires
were distributed equally to get the correct statistics that is needed for this project.
After finishing the questionnaires, we separated the questionnaires to male
and female. Each of us analyze our own 50 survey forms and then we gathered all
the information together to make our statistics analysis for this report. We created
tables and tally chart to count the data collected so that they are accurate. We also
double checked the tallies to confirm the accuracy of the data. We calculated the
mode for each questions to know that which category of students understand better
on this disease. After we have finished analyzing the data collected, we concluded
that the female students are more understands than the male students on the diseases,
Epilepsy.

19. Conclusion
After we finished the survey, we acquired enough information to compare
which group of students understand better on epilepsy. Overall, we found that the
mode of more understanding on this disease is female, because the percentage of
female selected the correct answer is more than male. The average percentage of
chose the correct answer of male in these 18 questions is 64.67%, while female is
68.17%.
The correct definition of epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain and
causes repeated seizures and as you can see from the analysis above, the majority of
male and female selected the correctanswer, but the percentage of female is higher
than male. This means that female has more understanding than male about what is
epilepsy. There is any age of people can get epilepsy and question 3 was to test the
understanding of the causes of epilepsy. Fromthe result as shown above, we can see
that male and female have a very close percentage of chose the correct answer in
these two question. Percentage of female is higher than male 2% in question 2 while
percentage of male is higher than female 1% in question 3. But there are more than
50% of male and female chosethe wrong answer in question 3.
This is a little bit trick question for question 4. It is asking about the causes of
the idiopathic partial epilepsy. We can see that the percentage is almost the same of
the male and female students. But the percentage of female is higher than male 2%.
Question 5 and 6 are the questions about epileptic seizures. That is more than 75%
of male and female selected the correct answer of question 5 and the mode is male.
The difference of percentage between male and female is 1% only. The mode of
chose the correct answer for question 6 is female and the majority of male do not
know the correctanswer.
There are 2 main types ofepilepsy seizures. The percentage ofboth gender by
choosing the correctanswer are less than 50% and the mode is female. The analysis
above shown that percentage of male knew the causes of physical changes in
seizures is higher than female 1%. From our analysis above, mode of understanding
the most of the common triggers of seizures for question 9 is female.
20. We tested the understanding of the students by asking the correct ways to
avoid epileptic seizures patient from biting their own tongue. Both gender have very
closepercentage but female is higher than male 1% only. Wealso asked the question
about how long do seizures usually last and the mode also is female. Question 12
tell us that we should not restrict the patient’s movement during seizures and the
mode for selected the correctanswer is female again.
Mode of question 13 is male. In question 14 to 15, we asked about the
medication and side effects after taking drugs. There is no mode for question 14
because male and female have the same percentage. From the analysis above, mode
of question 15 is female.
Fromthe question regarding to the can orcannot forthe epilepsy patient drive,
the mode of chosethe correct answer which is no is male. We founded that female
students have the knowledge of epilepsy is a life threatening disease compare to
male. Lastly, majority of the students knew that epilepsy is not cancerous. Despite
their percentage are closeto each other, but percentage of male is 86% while female
is 83%.
