➢ Title of Textbook/LM to Study: Mathematics 7 Learner’s Material
⮚ Chapter: 37 Pages: 238-239 Topic: Introduction to Statistics
⮚ Objectives: 1. To pose real-life problems that can be solved by Statistics.
2. To formulate simple statistical instruments.

Let Us Discover

This Simplified Self-learning Module (SSLM) introduces you on how to

determine problems that are statistical and nonstatistical. This will help you pose
problems that can be solved using Statistics and develop you on how to formulate
simple statistical instruments. To start with, let us first define the terms related to this
topic.

Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, presentation, analysis,

and interpretation of data. It deals with all aspects, including the planning of data
collection, design of surveys and experiments.

Statistical problem is a problem that can be answered by collecting data that

varies. This is dissected and carried out by first gathering facts and data analysis
related to the process. There are three types of statistical problems. These are
summarizing problems, comparing problems and relationship problems.

Statistical instrument is any process that aims at describing a phenomenon

by using an instrument or device however the results may be used as a control tool.
Examples of statistical instruments are questionnaire and surveys sampling.

 Let Us Try

Let us now determine if the given problem is statistical or nonstatistical so that

you can pose problems that can be solved using Statistics.
Which of the following questions is/are an example/s of a statistical problem?
1. How old are you now?
2. What are the ages of your family members?
3. How tall are you?
4. How tall are the students in your class, in centimeters?
5. How many times did you dine at Jollibee Calumpang?
6. What is the most preferred learning modality of Grade 7 students of General
Santos City?
Answer:
1. What are the ages of your family members?
2. How tall are the students in your class, in centimeters?
3. What is the most preferred learning modality of Grade 7 students of General
Santos City?
Reasons:
1. The questions require gathering or collecting more than one piece of data.
2. There would be a variability of data.
From the statistical questions or problems given above, we can also formulate
a simple statistical instrument to gather data. Let us try,
Example Problem: What is the most preferred learning modality of Grade 7 students
of General Santos City?

Simple Statistical Instrument: Survey Questionnaire

Instructions: Fill in the blank with the correct information. Write it legibly.
