1. As a future teacher, why do you think statistics is necessary?

- As a future teacher, Statistics is an important subject to some teachers. Some

statistics are important to teachers because they can help us to identify which techniques
are more effective than others. Statistics is important to the teaching profession because it
helps a teacher know when teaching has effectively been done. These reasons could
include: ensuring the quality of education is being kept high, monitor student's progress,
monitor the teacher's progress or success, and check the effectiveness of a subject.
Statistics helps in the individual comparison of students differing in respect of their ages,
abilities and intelligence levels. It is statistics which tells us why thus students who are
similar in every other respect yet do not show similar achievement is one particular
subject.

2. What, how and when will apply statistics in assessment?

- Used to summarize a collection of data by describing what was observed using

numbers or graphs. It include mean and standard deviation. Useful in
communicating the results of an inquiry, particularly experiments or surveys. To
change in response to calls for reform, newer methods of assessment are being
used to measure students' understanding of probability and statistics and their
ability to achieve goals such as being able to explore data and to think critically
using statistical reasoning.
