Developing Mastery
 Other steps in identifying the parameters to be tested in a real-life problem

A parameter is a number describing a whole population (e.g., population mean), while a statistics is a
number describing a sample (e.g., sample mean). Statistics and parameters are numbers that
summarize any measurable characteristic of a sample or a population.

Population is an entire group that you’re interested in studying and a sample is a smaller group taken
from the population.

The most common parameters in statistical analysis include: Mean, Median, Mode, Standard
Deviation, Variance
Different symbols are used to denote parameters:

To identify the parameters to be tested:

1. Just look for mean/average, standard deviation, variance, and proportion of population.
2. Determine the value that pertains to the given parameter, then translate them in symbols for
hypothesis testing.

Sample:

According to a survey, 63% of the parents are willing to spend extra money for their children’s health
and education matters.

Parameter: the percentage/proportion of parents willing to spend extra money in their children’s health
and education matter or 𝒑 = 𝟎. 𝟔𝟑

Identifying the parameters to be tested in a real-life problem requires careful consideration of the
problem at hand and the desired outcome. Here are some steps you can follow:

1. Define the problem: Clearly define the problem you are trying to solve. This will help you identify
the relevant parameters that need to be tested.
2. Identify the variables: Identify the variables that are likely to influence the outcome of the
problem. These variables may be quantitative or qualitative.
3. Prioritize variables: Prioritize the variables based on their expected impact on the outcome. This
will help you determine which variables are most important to test.
 4. Define the range of values: Define the range of values for each variable that you want to test.
This may require research or consultation with experts.
5. Determine the testing method: Determine the testing method that will be used to evaluate the
variables. This may involve experimentation, observation, or data analysis.
6. Collect and analyze data: Collect data on the variables and analyze the results. This will help
you determine which variables have the greatest impact on the outcome.
7. Refine and repeat: Refine your approach based on the results and repeat the testing process as
necessary until you have identified the most important variables and their optimal values.

Overall, the process of identifying the parameters to be tested in a real-life problem requires careful
consideration of the problem and a systematic approach to testing and analysis.

Activity #4: Look For Me

E. Finding practical
applications of Directions: The students will be grouped into three to answer the question and determine the parameter
concepts and skills and symbol of real-life statistics.
in daily living
1. The amount of time children spent watching television was observed and it was found that the
standard deviation is 12.4 hours per week. How could the information about children's television
habits be used to inform public health campaigns or policy decisions?

To identify the parameters to be tested:

1. The standard deviation of the amount of time children spent watching television per week.
2. σ= 12.4

2. An article in the newspaper reported that undergraduate students in the country require an
average of 4 years to finish their degrees. Assuming that you think the actual mean time is
longer, you conducted a survey on 49 students. The results showed a sample mean of 5 years
with a sample standard deviation of 1.2 years. How could the survey results about
undergraduate students' degree completion times be used to improve the education system?

To identify the parameters to be tested:

1. The mean time required for undergraduate students in the country to finish their degrees.
2. μ= 4 years

3. DOLE reported that government-employed registered nurses earned an average monthly salary
 of P9,700. In the same year, a survey was conducted on 41 registered nurses to determine if
their mean salary is higher than the previous survey. The sample mean was 10,000 with a
sample standard deviation of P2,500. How could the survey results about registered nurses'
salaries be used to inform labor policies or negotiations between employers and employees?

To identify the parameters to be tested:

1. The mean monthly salary of government-employed registered nurses.
2. μ= 9,700

Answers:
1. the standard deviation of children's television habits hours per week is 12.4
σ = 12.4
2. an average of 4 years to finish undergraduate
μ = 4 degrees
3. an average monthly salary of a registered government nurse is P9,700
μ = P9,700
4. proportion of 14.7% of the country's Filipino smokers maintain their smoking habits

A. Parameter
B. Population
C. Probability
D. Statistic

Answer: A. Parameter

2. A class consists of 50 students, out of which 30 are girls. The girls scored 73 (out of 100) on a test
and the boys scored 71. The statistical tool used to determine the score is ________
A. Mean
B. Median
C. Mode
D. Range

Answer: A. Mean

3. The numerical measure describing a sample is _________

A. Population
B. Parameter
C. Statistic
D. Probability

Answer: C. Statistic

Direction: The students will determine the parameter and parameter symbol in this scenario.

You are the manager of a call center and you believe that the average call duration is less than the
industry standard of 6 minutes per call. To investigate this, you randomly select 50 calls and record
their durations. The resulting sample mean is 5.4 minutes with a sample standard deviation of 0.8
 minutes.
1. The parameter to be tested is the population mean 5.4 minutes call duration
μ= 5.4 minutes

A shoe manufacturer claims that the average lifespan of their latest shoe design is 2 years. To
investigate this claim, a random sample of 100 shoes is selected and the lifespan of each shoe is
recorded. The resulting sample mean is 1.8 years with a sample standard deviation of 0.6 years.
2. The population mean lifespan of the shoe design
μ= 1.8 years

H. Additional activities for Direction: The students will list down their three different daily situations where hypothesis testing can
application or remediation be utilized, and specify the parameter that needs to be tested in each situation.
