Statistics and probability are the material contained in school mathematics subjects.

In
completing statistical and probability questions it takes the ability to analyze facts and ideas,
generalize explain, give reasons, hypothesize, and arrive at a conclusion. All of these things
can be done if your individual is able to think logically. (Puspitasari et al., 2019).
It has been found out that there are a number of intermingled factors that are
detrimental to low performance of public school students in mathematics. The under
recognition of students' need and interest with their pre-existing level of knowledge and
skills towards mathematical concepts are the major determining factors of lower achievement
in mathematics (Acharya, 2017).
The researchers observed that the grade 11 STEM students are having a hard time in
answering the activities and quizzes in statistics and probability. Sometimes they can’t
answer the activities or quizzes on time. This prompted the researchers to conduct the study.
There is an urgent need to pursue this study because although many articles in the
education literature recommend how to teach statistics better, there is little published research on
the difficulty of students in statistics and probability. This research study aims to determine the
difficulties of Grade 11 STEM students in statistics and probability. In this study, interviews
will be conducted randomly with Grade 11 STEM Students to help identify why some
students have a hard time in statistics and probability. Moreover, the researchers aim to help
their fellow STEM students to have better grades and also to parents to help guide and
nurture their children enrolling in the STEM strand
