OVERVIEW OF LESSON
In decision making, we use statistics although some of us may not be aware of it.
In this lesson, we make the students realize that to decide logically, they need to
use statistics. An inquiry could be answered or a problem could be solved
through the use of statistics. In fact, without knowing it we use statistics in our
daily activities.
LEARNING COMPETENCIES:
At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to identify questions that
could be answered using a statistical process and describe the activities involved
in a statistical process.
LESSON OUTLINE:
1. Motivation
2. Statistics as a Tool in Decision-Making
3. Statistical Process in Solving a Problem
Main Lesson
After the data were gathered, we must verify the quality of the data to make a
good decision. Data quality check could be done as we process the data to
summarize the information extracted from the data. Then using this information,
one can then make a decision or provide answers to the problem or question at
hand.
To summarize, a statistical process in making a decision or providing solutions to
a problem include the following:
• Planning or designing the collection of data to answer statistical questions in
a way that maximizes information content and minimizes bias;
• Collecting the data as required in the plan;
• Verifying the quality of the data after they were collected;
• Summarizing the information extracted from the data; and
• Examining the summary statistics so that insight and meaningful information
can be produced to support decision-making or solutions to the question or
problem at hand.
Hence, several activities make up a statistical process which for some the
process is simple but for others it might be a little bit complicated to implement.
Also, not all questions or problems could be answered by a simple statistical process.
There are indeed problems that need complex statistical process.
However, one can be assured that logical decisions or solutions could be
formulated using a statistical process.
KEY POINTS
• Difference between questions that could be and those that could not
answered using Statistics.
• Statistics is a science that studies data.
• There are many uses of Statistics but its main use is in decision-making.
• Logical decisions or solutions to a problem could be attained through a
statistical process.
ASSESSMENT
Note: Answers are provided inside the parentheses and italicized.
1. Identify which of the following questions are answerable using a statistical
process.
a. What is a typical size of a Filipino family? (answerable through a statistical
process)
b. How many hours in a day? (not answerable through a statistical process)
c. How old is the oldest man residing in the Philippines? (answerable through
a statistical process)
d. Is planet Mars bigger than planet Earth? (not answerable through a
statistical process)
e. What is the average wage rate in the country? (answerable through a
statistical process)
f. Would Filipinos prefer eating bananas rather than apple? (answerable
through a statistical process)
g. How long did you sleep last night? (not answerable through a statistical
process)
h. How much a newly-hired public school teacher in NCR earns in a month?
(not answerable through a statistical process)
i. How tall is a typical Filipino? (answerable through a statistical process)
j. Did you eat your breakfast today? (not answerable through a statistical
process)
2. For each of the identified questions in Number 1 that are answerable using a
statistical process, describe the activities involved in the process.
