OBJECTIVES

At the end of this session, the students should be able to:

1. recognize the importance of providing correct information

in a data collection activity;
2. define and differentiate between qualitative and
quantitative variables, and between discrete and
continuous variables (that are quantitative); and
3. identify and differentiate the different levels of
measurement.

 STATISTICS

Statistics is a branch of
mathematics which deals with
the collection, organization,
presentation, analysis and
interpretation of data.
TYPES OF STATISTICS
TYPES OF STATISTICS

deals with the collection

and presentation of data
and collection of
summarizing values to
describe its group
characteristics.
 TYPES OF STATISTICS

deals with predictions and

inferences based on the
analysis and interpretation
of the results of the
information gathered by the
statistician.
 EXAMPLE

We have marks of 1000

students and we may be
interested in the average
performance of those students
and the distribution as well as
the spread of the marks.
 EXAMPLE
Suppose we are interested inn the
exam marks of all the students in
the Philippines. But it is not
feasible to measure the exam
marks of all the students. So now
we will measure the marks of a
smaller number of students, for
example 1000 students.
 PRACTICE EXERCISES
Determine if the given statement is an example of
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS or INFERENTIAL STATISTICS.

1. The average jackpot for the top five car winners was
Php 367.6 million.

2. A study done by the American Academy of Neurology

suggests that older people who had high caloric diet
more than double their risk of memory loss.
 PRACTICE EXERCISES
Determine if the given statement is an example of
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS or INFERENTIAL STATISTICS.

3. Scientist at the Oxford in England found that a good

laugh significantly raises a person’s pain level
tolerance.

4. Based on a survey of 9317 consumers done by the

National Retail Federation, the average amount that
consumers spent on Valentines Day in 2011 was $116.

 SCALES OF MEASUREMENT
NOMINAL
A measurement scale that classifies
elements into two or more
categories or classes
RATIO
Measurement scale that is being
an addition to interval scale, that
also has an absolute zero in the
scale.
ORDINAL
A measurement scale that ranks individuals
in terms of the degree to which they
possess a characteristics of interest.
INTERVAL
It established a uniform unit in the
scale so that any equal distance
between two scores is of equal
magnitude. There is no absolute
zero in this scale.
