IV. Procedures:
1. Presenting the new lesson
Before we begin our first topic for this quarter, let us have an activity. This activity is
called “Check-In”. I will group you into 4. In your group, assign one secretary to list the average
time each of you need travelled from your home to go school in minutes. The group will by then
write the information on board. (10 minutes)
What do these numbers represent?
Based on the information presented by each group what can you infer a general
conclusion?
What should we do to help anyone make a meaningful description about these
numbers?
(Follow-up activity)
Sort out the raw data and present it in a way you think would be a good presentation.
2. Establishing the purpose of the lesson
In this age of information technology, it is important to know how raw data are processed
and translated into useful information. As us such, education on students should develop
understanding on the concepts and processes of statistics.
Statistics is employed to find measurements, make estimation, prediction and solve
problems in real life.
What is Statistics?
Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation of data.
It deals with all aspects of this, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of
surveys and experiments.
There are two major areas of statistics and these are descriptive statistics and inferential
statistics.
Descriptive statistics is a method which describes the properties and characteristics of a
set data.
Inferential statistics, on the other hand, is a statistical method concerned with analysing
the sample data to make a prediction, inferences, interpretation, or conclusion about the entire
population.
For example: Identify whether the situation will make use of descriptive or inferential
statistics.
a. A teacher computes the mean score of her class in a mathematics test to determine if
the class mean is significantly related to their scores in science test. (Inferential)
b. A sari-sari store owner records the frequency of sales of the five leading detergent
soaps. (Descriptive)
A 39 143 19.1
B 42 145 20.0
C 47 158 18.8
D 50 163 18.8
E 53 166 19.2
Scale of Measurements
1. Nominal – This type of statistical data depicts the presence or absence of a certain
attributes. This usually involves the random assignment of number to represent the
attribute.
Examples: religion, color classification, gender
2. Ordinal – This provides the degree of the presence of an attribute. Usually, data is
classified according to orders or ranks.
Examples: Academic ranking, position in a group of siblings
3. Interval – the measurement where data are arranged in some order and the differences
between data are meaningful. Data at this level may lack inherent zero starting point.
Example: Test results
4. Ratio – this measurement is an interval modified to include the inherent zero starting
point.
Examples: Physical quantities, allowance
