Discussion

In this frequency distribution table, I used convenience sampling. I chose 30

respondents from my classmates in Bachelor of Science in Mechanical

Engineering (BSME) 4th year level and gave an empty sheet of paper to write

down the names and ages of their mothers.

 Objective of the Exercise

To be able to know the age range of the mothers of BSME students 4th

year level

To be able to analyze the data gathered, determine what age range has

the most and least number of respondents

To be able to know how to make a frequency table, calculate the

measures of central tendencies, and calculate the measures of variability

Methodology

The respondents for this exercise were the mothers of the 30 students enrolled

in the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program 4th year

level at the University of Southeastern Philippines. The data is gathered by

using convenience sampling technique. The goal of this statistic study is to

gather the age of the respondents and create a frequency table. In data

gathering, my first step is to choose my 30 respondents. I chose 30 out of my

67 classmates in BSME. After they list down the names, ages and birthdays of

their mothers, I put it in the frequency table, sorted the ages ranging from 38-

65 years old. To determine the interval, solve for the range and class interval of

the given data to obtain the interval size. Solve for the increment of the class

intervals to find the class boundaries and find the relative frequency. After

completing the frequency distribution table, solve for the measures of central

tendencies, the mean, median, and the mode. Quota sampling is also used in

this exercise because we only need to choose 30 out of 67 respondents.

 Introduction

Statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis,

interpretation, presentation, and organization of data. Its mathematical

foundations were laid in the 17th century with the development of probability

theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Femat. Mathematical probability theory

arose from the study of games of chances, although the concept of probability

was already examined in medieval law and some other philosophers such as

Juan Caramel.

Today, statistics is widely employed in government, business, and natural and

social sciences. Statistical methods are applied in all fields that involve decision

making, for making accurate inferences from a collated body of data for making

decisions in the face of uncertainty based on statistical methodology. Statistics

continues to be an area of active research, for example on the problem of how

to analyze big data.

Result

In the data gathered, the ages of the respondents are ranging from 35-68. In

the table, the age with the highest frequencies are the ages ranging 43-47 and

48-52 which both range got 10 frequencies each. While the age ranges with the

least frequency are the ages ranging from 58-62 and 63-67 with only 1

frequency.
Here are the names and ages of the mothers of 30 respondents from BSME 4th

year level:
