B. Establishing a purpose As motivational activity, ask learners to write on 1/4 sheet of
for the lesson paper the following:
1. His/her “best” guess of teacher’s age by giving a single number.
2. The same as in Number 1, but this time he/she should give a
range of values wherein teacher’s age would most likely fall.
3. Ask the student to rate his/her confidence from 0% (not
confident) to 100% (very confident) in his/her educated guess of
the range of values in Number 2.
Teacher will then use the data collected in the motivational activity.
Teacher will prepare a graph similar to the one shown below. Each line
segment represents an interval estimate of the true value of age. Then,
assume that such estimates are all 95% confidence interval estimates.
D. Discussing new concepts and Discuss how to compute the Interval Estimate when population variance
practicing new skills #1 is known.
(Use Stat Calculator in solving the following problem.)
1. Consider the numerical example used in point estimation of the
population mean where the following observed weights (in kilograms)
of a random sample of 20 learners were used.
40 45 46 48 48 50 55 55 56 58
58 59 60 60 62 62 64 64 65 66
The sample mean is computed as:
Assuming that the population standard deviation of the weights of all learners
in the class is 9 kg, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the true average
weight of the learners is
Thus, we are 95% confident that the true average weight of all learners in the
class is between 52 kg and 60 kg (rounded off to the nearest integer).
Thus, we need 135 learners in estimating the true average weight of learners
enrolled in this class under simple random sampling scheme with 99%
confidence and maximum allowable deviation is within 2 kg.
E. Discussing new concepts and When the population variance is unknown, there is a slight change in the
practicing new skills #2 construction of the confidence interval and the changes involve the tabular
value and the standard error of the sample mean.
Discuss the step-by-step procedure in computing interval estimate when
variance is unknown.
F. Developing mastery Do an enrichment activity that involves learners measuring their
(Leads to Formative foot sizes. The teacher records the foot sizes of all learners in
Assessment ) class in order to obtain the population mean foot size
of the entire class. The class is then divided into groups of 3 to 5
learners. Using a simple random sample of 10 learners, the
groups will estimate the average foot size of the entire class.
Numeric summaries (mean and five-number summary) and box
plots can be used to obtain point and interval estimates,
respectively, for the mean foot size of the entire class.
Group the learners into four groups then ask them to answer the
activity below. After doing the activity, let them present their
output in front of the class.

amount spent by the learners on alcoholic beverages.
2. The nickel metal Hydride (Nimh) battery is one of the highly
advertised rechargeable batteries today. It is lighter and can last
up to 2 to 4 times longer than alkaline or standard Nickel-
Cadmium (NiCd) batteries. To evaluate its performance, a
random sample of 10 Nimh batteries was taken. The number of
photos taken using each battery in a digital camera is given as
follows: 405, 564, 342, 456, 435, 543, 473, 452, 462, and 475.
Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true
mean number of photos taken using the Nimh battery.
