Lesson
Introduction to Statistics
1

What is Statistics? The word “Statistics” comes from different views. One such view is
that it has a Latin origin and the word that it comes from is “status.” On the contrary,
another view speaks of its Italian origin and that it comes from “statista”. According to
scholars, the origin is German and the word it comes from is “statistik.” Similarly,
according to more suggestions, the origin is a French word called “statistique”. There are
many definitions of Statistics, but a short and simple definition will be given. It will help
you get an idea about what are the uses of statistics in daily life.

1 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON1
Statistics is a group of methods that are used to collect, organize, present, analyze,
and interpret data to make decisions.
There are two areas of Statistics.
1. Descriptive Statistics is concerned with describing the characteristics and
properties of a group of persons, places, or things. It involves gathering, organizing,
presenting, and describing data. For example, we may describe a collection of
persons by stating how many fell into various categories of age, height, civil status,
gender, and many more.
2. Inferential Statistics is used to draw inferences or information about the properties
or characteristics by a large group of people, places, or things based on the
information obtained from a small portion of a large group. For example, suppose
we want to know the most favorite brand of bar soap of a certain barangay and we
do not have enough time and money to interview all the residents of that barangay.
We may ask selected residents. From the basis of the data obtained from the
interviews, we shall draw or make conclusion as to the barangay’s favorite brand of
bar soap.
The following terms are used in Statistics.
1. Population is a collection or set of individuals, objects, or events whose properties
are to be analyzed.
2. Sample is a subset of population.
3. Variable is a characteristic about each individual element of a population or
sample, a parameter that is likely to change. One example is the height of
different students in the class.
4. Constant is a parameter that does not change.
5. Data is a collection of facts such as numbers, words, measurements,
observations, or just description of things.
6. Parameters are data obtained about population.
7. Statistics are data gathered about samples.

One real-life problem that can be solved by Statistics is given as an example.


A school principal is interested in knowing the average age of his faculty
teachers.

Let us apply the basic terms in this situation.


The population is the age of all his faculty teachers in school.
A sample is any subset of that population. In this example, we can select 15 faculty
teachers and determine their age.
The variable is the age of each faculty teacher.
The data will be the set of age of faculty teachers.
The parameter of interest is the average age of all his faculty teachers.
The statistics is the average age for all faculty teachers in the sample

Data can be Qualitative or Quantitative.


Qualitative data is descriptive information. It describes something.
Examples: hair color
gender
smell of flowers

Qualitative data may be further subdivided into nominal and ordinal. Nominal variable
is a qualitative variable that categorizes, describes, or names an element of a population.
2 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON1
Ordinal variable is a qualitative variable that incorporates an ordered position or
ranking.
Quantitative data is numerical information or numbers. DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON1
Examples: number of houses with internet connection in a barangay
time spent to travel to school
amount of rainfall

Quantitative data can be discrete or continuous. Discrete data are those obtained
through counting. Continuous data are results of measurement.

Another way to classify data is to use levels of measurement.


1. Nominal Level of Measurement is characterized by data that consist of names,
labels, or categories only. The data cannot be arranged in an ordering scheme.
Example: Survey responses like yes, no, and undecided
2. Ordinal Level of Measurement involves data that may be arranged in some order.
Example: We can classify our Mathematics teachers with respect to teaching
efficiency as: Inefficient (1), Fairly efficient (2), Efficient (3), Very efficient (4)
3. Interval Level of Measurement is like the ordinal level plus the fact that arithmetic
differences between them are meaningful. The zero-point of the interval scale is
arbitrary and does not reflect an absence of the attribute being measured.
Example: An interval data is given.
A student who got zero in the achievement test in Mathematics does not necessarily
mean that he does not know anything about Mathematics.
4. Ratio Level of Measurement is the interval level modified to include the natural zero
starting point where zero indicates that none of the quantity is present. For values
of this level, differences and ratios are meaningful.
Example: A ratio data is given.
Prices of school textbooks (₱0 represents no cost)

Statistics is used in every aspect of life such as in data science, robotics, business,
sports, weather forecasting, and much more.
Moreover, Statistics is applied in different fields like Business Management, Economics,
and Commerce.

Lesson
Gathering of Data
2
In this lesson, you will be able to gather statistical data. As a learner, you will also
demonstrate and understand the key concepts, uses and importance of data
collection/gathering and the different forms of data.

There are ways on how to gather or collect data. The data you collect from the people
you encounter are what we call primary data. And when you go to some agencies or
researchers and gather data there, it is called secondary data because the agency
gathered and made it available for you to access.

Ways on Gathering Data


A. Observation – gathering data using your senses.
B. Interview - direct method of gathering data.
1) In- Person Interview. In this interview you are going to ask questions face to face
with your interviewee. You may write their answer on a paper or record their voices.
The advantage of this interview is you may ask some follow up questions to clear
your mind and you really understand their expression or emotion because you can
see them.

5 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON2
2) Telephone Interview. This type of gathering data uses instruments like cell phone
or telephone. You may contact your interviewee and ask them a question thru call.
The advantage of this is you can quickly collect your data, but it is hard to gain
trust to your interviewee because you cannot see them.
3) Online Interview. This type of gathering data needs internet connection. You can
collect data with the use of different applications you see on the internet like chats,
Facebook, YouTube and many more. It is an easier way of collecting data, but in
this kind of interview, you cannot see clarification on your interviewee.

C. Questionnaire - indirect method of collecting data.


1) Survey/Questionnaire. A type of gathering data using written questions to be
answered by the respondents. This is expensive because you are going to print and
produce your own questionnaire.
2) Mailed Questionnaire. A type of gathering data where you mailed your question
to the postal address of your respondent. The advantage of this method is the
respondent may give information that may be unwilling to give in a personal interview.

D. Registration or Census – this method requires the enactment of law to take effect
because it needs the participation of a large group of people.

E. Experimentation – it is used to find the cause-and-effect relationship of a certain


specimen; this is usually conducted in the laboratories.

F. Sampling - this is a method where you gather data in a predetermined number of


observations taken from a larger group of people.
1) Sample Group. In this method, you are going to form a group of 6 -10 people with
the same characteristic and a moderator will guide the respondent to answer the
question. You can capture video or record while doing a certain task or answering the
question. The disadvantage of this method is someone may influence the answer of
the other member in a group.

There are many ways on how to gather data but be sure that you are responsible in the
data that you gather. Be careful and have respect to the one that you interview.

Try These!
Give ways on how to collect data from the following statement. Write your answer on
a separate sheet of paper.
1. The learning style of students.
2. Favorite actor of your classmate.

Lesson
Frequency Distribution Table
3
You may have seen field workers from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) who
gather data from house to house and wondered how they make meaning of all the data
they gathered. An intermediate step to interpreting data is organizing them first.
In this module, you will learn how to organize data in a frequency distribution table,
M7SP-IVc-1.

From Sir Mameta’s research, the collected


student responses are considered as raw
data, or the initial data gathered for a study.
This data still needs to be organized in order
to produce a meaningful information. One
way to do it is to construct a table like the
one in the next page.
First, list all the distinct responses that
appeared in the data set. Under the “Tally”
column, mark once whenever that response
appears.
Next, we write under the “Frequency”
column, the number of tally marks for each
row. Frequency is how often something
occurs. In this case, the frequency of the
response “3” is 2 because it appeared in the
data set two times.
Lastly, sum up the frequencies and write
the total frequency, N, at the bottom.

8 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON3
Grouped Frequency Distribution Table
The table earlier shows the values (the number of hours) found in the data set and their
frequency (the number of learners who study Math for a specific number of hours
weekly). This is an example of a Frequency Distribution Table, a table that presents
the values listed in a data set and their frequency. If we group the values and
frequencies, especially for large or varied data sets, the result is a Grouped Frequency
Distribution Table. Using Sir Mameta’s data, apply the following steps in constructing
a grouped frequency distribution table.

Step 1: Determine the range, R.


Arrange the values from the lowest to highest then, find the range, Scratch for step:
or the difference between the highest and the lowest value. The 1) R = HV – LV
highest value (HV) is 12, while the lowest value (LV) is 1, so, the = 12 -1
range is R = 11. R = 11
Step 2: Calculate the group size, s. 2) s =
Decide on the number of groups or classes, c, appropriate for the = = 1.83…
given data set. This is usually between 5 and 20. Next, divide the s
range by the number of groups to get the group size. Round up to 3) start value: 1
get a whole number. Suppose we want to have c = 6 groups. If we 4) lower limits:
divide 11 by 6 and round up, we get s = 2. 1 (start value)
Step 3: Identify the start value. 3=1+2
Use the lowest value as the start value. Here, we use 1. 5=3+2
Step 4: Compute for the list of groups. 7=5+2
Each group or interval has a lower limit and an upper limit. The 9=7+2
lower limit of the first group is the start value. For the next groups, 11 = 9 + 2
the lower limit is equal to the group size plus the lower limit of the upper limits:
previous group. So, we write down 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. We can do the 2=3–1
same for the upper limit or, we can just subtract 1 from the lower 4=5–1
limit of the next group and so, we get 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. 6=7–1
Step 5: Write the frequencies and total. 8=9–1
Refer to the given data set in the previous page. Determine the 10 = 11 – 1
frequency of all the values housed in each group or class. Finally, 12 = 11 + 1
get the total frequency, N. Check if it matches the number of values
in the data set. As an answer to our opening questions, using the
accomplished grouped frequency distribution table at the right, we can say that: 3
students study Math for at most 2 hours, 6 students for 3 to 4 hrs, 7 students for 5 to
6 hrs, 2 students for 7 to 8 hrs, 4 students for 9 to 10 hrs, and 3 students for 11 to 12
hrs., a total of 25 students responded.
No. of
Frequency
Hours
1–2 3
3–4 6
5–6 7
7–8 2
9 – 10 4
11 – 12 3
N = 25
Step 6: Find the class boundaries.
Sometimes, it is necessary to show the group’s true limits or what we call class
boundaries. Add a column next to the groups or classes. Each group has a lower and an
9 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON3
upper-class boundary. Subtract 0.5 from the lower limit to get its lower-class boundary.
Then, add 0.5 to the upper limit to get the upper-class
boundary. Notice that the upper-class boundary of one group is equal to the lower-class
boundary of the next group.

As a summary, we construct a frequency


distribution table by finding the range, the
group size, and the start value. Then, we list the DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON3
groups or intervals, write down the frequencies,
and total. Here are some additional reminders:
● Each value in the data set must belong
to only one group.
● In listing the groups, check if each has
the same size.
● Do not remove groups whose frequency
is zero.

Try These! Identify what is asked. Write your answers on a page of your notebook.
1) the difference between the highest and the lowest value in a data set
2) tells how often a value occurs or appears in the data set
3) a table that presents the values in a data set and their frequency
4) a table that shows values and their frequency in groups
5) the quotient of the range and the desired number of groups

Have you ever noticed the graph shown in your electric bill? How about eating a
cake/pizza with your friends? Did you know that in these instances, pie charts and bar
graphs are being illustrated?
In this lesson, you will be able to use appropriate graphs to represent organized data by
using pie chart and bar graph, M7SP-IVd-e-1.

Do you know that the given frequency table can be presented in the form of graphs?
The frequency table given above were presented in a graph shown below in each set
respectively.
Set A Set B
Which do you think is
easier to analyze, the
frequency table or the
chart/graph? Why?

Since it is easy for us to analyze data using graphs, it is better for you to learn how to
construct graphs such as pie graph, bar graph and other different types of graphs to
present organized data.

PIE CHART/PIE GRAPH


A circular graph that uses slices or sectors to represent the whole data. The whole
circle represents 100% of the data and each slice or sector is the proportion of the
category it represents.

11 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON4
How to construct a pie chart?
1. Express each category as a percentage of the total.
2. Multiply the percent of each category by 360°. This will give you the measure
of their corresponding angles in the circle.
3. Construct the pie graph and the corresponding sectors (slices) using a
protractor. Label each sector.
Example:
Klian Zac, Erika and Sherwin planned to buy a large pizza that costs 400 pesos. Klian
Zac gave ₱200, Erika gave ₱60 and Sherwin ₱140. They agreed to get a share of the
pizza based on their contribution. Make a pie chart and show their pizza slices.
Name Contribution Percentage Measure of Sector
200 0.5 × 360° = 180°
Klian Zac 200 = 0.5 or 50%
400
60 0.15 × 360° = 54°
Erika 60 400
= 0.15 or 15%

Sherwin 140
140
= 0.35 or 35% 0.35 × 360° = 126°
400
TOTAL 400 100% 360°

Pie chart

BAR GRAPH
A graph used to represent an organized set of information by using horizontal or vertical
bars. The length of each bar represents quantity. A bar graph can be a simple bar graph
(where the bars represent only one unit) or a multiple bar graph (where there are group
of bars used on the same diagram to use for comparison).

How to construct a bar graph?


1. Write the appropriate title for the graph.
2. Label the axes. For multiple bar graphs, use legend to identify each bar. Indicate the
zero point.
3. Bars should be proportional to the quantities they represent. Their widths must also
be equal.
4. Spacing between the bars must be equal.
Example 1:
A leader of a rider’s club made a record indicating the motorcycles registered by their
members. There were 10 Click, 42 Mio Sporty, 25 NMAX, 16 PCX and 7 Raider R
motorcycles. These data are represented using a vertical bar graph and a horizontal
bar graph.

12 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON4
vertical bar graph horizontal bar graph
Example 2:
Multiple bar graphs (horizontal and vertical) is used to represent the table below.

horizontal multiple bar graph vertical multiple bar graph

5 Presentation of Data
Statistics is the science of gaining information after collecting and analyzing numerical
data in large quantities. Different graphs are used to organize, easily analyze and
interpret the collected data depending on the nature of data. These graphical
representations are visual displays of data and statistical results.

The table on the next page is the Philippine’s Average Temperature in degree Celsius
recorded from Trading Economics in the year 2015.

To see the behavior of the average temperature, we can present them in a graphical
manner.

In a research study, collected data can be organized in a table or on the graph. The best
graph to present the average temperature given above is the line graph.

THE LINE GRAPH


It is a type of chart showing information that changes over time. This graph contains
points connected by straight line which shows the relationship of two or more individual
data. Line graph is suited for comparing how a variable is distributed across two or more
groups or time periods. The line can determine the behavior or trend of the data at a
glance.

The graph or the chart shows that the temperature changes over time depending on the
season of the month. There is low temperature during the cold days of the months of
January and February. It reached the maximum temperature of 27.35 degrees during
the summer time in the month of May. Minimal changes in the temperature have been
seen between July and November.

Another graph that can be used to organize the data is the histogram.
THE HISTOGRAM
It is a graphing tool which gives visual display of the large frequency of grouped data
using equal joined rectangular bars or bins. Also known as histogram chart, it presents
information on the trends of the data and is helpful in analyzing and identifying
problems to provide improvements.
Cumulative frequency is the sum total frequency of the beginning to current intervals.
Example:
The following are the arranged total of test scores of math class in a distance learning.

We can easily determine the following through table and histogram.


1) What is the frequency of the class interval 20 – 40? Answer: 7
2) What is the class intervals having the lowest frequency? Answer: 80-100
3) What is the class intervals having the greatest frequency? Answer: 40 - 60
4) What is the cumulative frequency of the class intervals 20 – 80?
Answer: 7+19+13=39
5) What is the total frequency shown by the graph? Answer: 40

Using the same data given, we can also use Ogive.


THE OGIVE
It is the cumulative frequency curve wherein cumulative percent are added from left to
right of the graph. This is very similar to histogram but points are being used instead of
bars. It is a cumulative line graph. The more the graph rises means the greater increase
and the more it drops, the lesser increase. Ogive is not about comparison of values but
an accumulation whether the total values is growing or dropping. This is why ogive has
two types: more than and less than.

Lesson Measures of Central Tendency: Mean,
6 Median and Mode (Ungrouped Data)

A measure of central tendency is a summary statistic that represents the center point
or typical value of a dataset. These measures indicate where most values in a distribution
fall and are also referred to as the central location of a distribution. You can think of it
as the tendency of data to cluster around a middle value. In statistics, the three most
common measures of central tendency are the mean, median and mode. Each of these
measures calculates the location of the central point using a different method.
Mean is average
The mean is commonly referred to as average, but it is not the only kind of average. The
mean is often used in research, academics and in sports. In school, the final grade you
get in a course is usually a mean. This mean represents the total number of points you
scored in the class divided by the number of possible points. This is the classic type of
average – when your overall performance on many items is evaluated with a single
number.
Median is another kind of average
Although the mean is the most common type of average, the median can also be used to
express the average of a group. The median number in a group refers to the point where
half the numbers are above the median and the other half are below it.
Mode occurs most
When looking at a set of information, the mode is simply the number that occurs most
often in the set.

Measures of central tendency are a key way to discuss and communicate with graphs.
The term central tendency refers to the middle, or typical, value of a set of data, which
is most commonly measured by using the three m's: mean, median and mode. The mean,
median and mode are known as the measures of central tendency. In this lesson, you
will explore these three concepts.
The Mean, Median and Mode
Mean, median and mode are three basic ways to look at the value of a set of numbers.
You will start by learning about the mean.
The Mean
This is often called the average of a numerical set of data. It is simply the sum of the
data values divided by the number of values. This is also referred to as the arithmetic
mean. The mean is the balance point of a distribution.
𝑠𝑢𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠
𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛 =
𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠
The Median
It is the number that falls in the middle position once the data has been organized.
Organized data means the numbers are arranged from smallest to largest or from largest
to smallest. The median for an odd number of data values is the value that divides the

19 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON6
data into two halves. If n represents the number of data values and n is an odd number,
𝑛+1
then the median will be found in the 2 position.
This measure of central tendency is typically used when the mean value is affected by
an unusually low number or an unusually high number in the data set (outliers).
Outliers distort the mean value to the extent that the mean value no longer accurately
depicts the set of data.

The Mode
It is simply the value that appears most frequently in the set of data.
If two or more values appear with the same frequency, each is a mode. The downside to
using the mode as a measure of central tendency is that a set of data may have no mode,
or it may have more than one mode. However, the same set of data will have only one
mean and only one median.
● The word modal is often used when referring to the mode of a data set.
● If a data set has only one value that occurs most often, the set is called unimodal.
● A data set that has two values that occur with the same greatest frequency is
referred to as bimodal.
● When a set of data has more than two values that occur with the same greatest
frequency, the set is called multimodal.
When determining the mode of a data set, calculations are not required, but keen
observation is a must. The mode is a measure of central tendency that is simple to locate,
but it is not used much in practical applications.
Example: Find the mean, median and mode of the following set of data.
The data below show the score of 20 students in Math Quiz

Lesson
Measures of Variability
8
A set of data can be described using measures of variability. These measures are used
to determine the spread of a set of data from a certain value such as the mean.

Measures of dispersion or variability refer to the spread of the values about the mean.
These are important quantities used by statisticians in evaluation. Smaller dispersion
of scores arising from the comparison often indicates more consistency and more
reliability. The most commonly used measures of dispersion are the range, the average
deviation, the standard deviation, and the variance.

A. Range
The range of grouped data is the difference of the upper-class boundary of the
highest class and the lower-class boundary of the lowest class.
𝑅 = 𝑈𝐶𝐵ℎ𝑐 − 𝐿𝐶𝐵𝑙𝑐
Solution:
In the above table, the class interval 1 – 4 is the lowest class and the class interval
17 – 20 is the highest class. Thus, 𝑈𝐶𝐵ℎ𝑐 = 20.5
𝐿𝐶𝐵𝑙𝑐 = 0.5
𝑅 = 𝑈𝐶𝐵ℎ𝑐 − 𝐿𝐶𝐵𝑙𝑐 = 20.5 – 0.5 = 20
Therefore, the range of the set of data is 20.

Lesson Analyzing and Interpreting


9 Statistical Data
The process of assigning meaning to the information obtained and determining the
interpretations, importance and significance of the results is data analysis and
interpretation. The steps involved in data analysis are a function of the type of data
collected, but returning to the purpose of the assessment would provide a structure
for the data organization and a focus for the analysis of the study objectives.
This lesson serves as a consolidation of what you learned in the previous lessons and
practice. The topics will provide you with the ability to work in groups and explore
multiple solutions. Using analysis and interpretation of statistical data, you can also
learn to explain your statements, M7SP-IVj-1.

Points to Ponder!
You may obtain important knowledge that leads to well-justified answers or
conclusions by carefully reviewing data from graphs, charts and tables. Each form
of data presentation being emphasized is therefore important for learners. When you
combine the interpretation of the mean, median and mode with that of the indicators,
the information gets richer. This is the most significant aspect of this lesson.

Analyzing Quantitative Data
Quantitative data is information that you obtain in quantitative form, such as
ranking scales or measured frequency of particular activities. Usually, for instance,
close-ended sample questions are coded into numbers so they can be quantitatively
evaluated. Although statistical analysis of quantitative information can be very
complicated, valuable information can be given by certain relatively basic techniques.
Descriptive statistics can help you summarize your knowledge and define important
findings, while inferential analysis can help you draw conclusions about your results.
To simplify the raw data down to a clear and understandable standard, descriptive
analysis is used. Methods that are popular include:
• Frequency distribution - tables or graphs that display how many of the
participants in the evaluation fall into different interest groups.
• Central tendency - the "typical ranking" is the number that best reflects, such
as the mode (the number or category that appears most often), median (the number
in the exact middle of the data set), and mean (the arithmetic average of your
numbers).
• Variability - amount of variation or difference in the results or disagreement.
Range (difference between highest and lowest scores) and standard deviation are
typical metrics of variability (a more complicated calculation based on a comparison
of each score to the average).

Analyzing Qualitative Data


Qualitative data, such as responses collected by questions, findings, focus groups,
published papers or journals, or open-ended information, is non-numerical.
Qualitative data may provide rich knowledge on how systems operate, either on their
own or in combination with quantitative data.
When analyzing qualitative (narrative) data, the following strategies may also be
helpful.
Interviews and Focus groups
● Read and arrange the data separately from each question. This strategy
causes the emphasis to be on one topic at a time (e.g., experiences with tutoring
services, characteristics of tutor, student responsibility in the tutoring process).
● Group the comments according to subjects, topics, or categories. This
technique makes it possible to concentrate on one area at a time. (e.g., tutor
characteristics: preparation level, subject area awareness, availability).
Documents
● Code content and functionality of documents into different categories (e.g.,
instruction manual, policies and procedures, correspondence, duties).
Observations
● Code patterns (e.g., behavioral patterns, amount of time engaged/not engaged
in activity, type of engagement, communication, interpersonal skills) from the focus
of observation.
Answers to the statistical measures should be given to analyze the data through
statistical measures and/or narrative themes. The analysis of the interpreted data
from the relevant viewpoint enables the meaning and results of the assessment to be
determined.

Lesson
Drawing Conclusion
10
The drawing of conclusions is the final, and most critical part of the process for any
research project and any scientific discipline. The final result is important in
assessing success or failure regardless of the reasoning processes and testing
methods used. If a weak conclusion summarizes an otherwise excellent experiment,
the findings will not be taken seriously.

33 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON10
Success or failure is not a measure of whether a hypothesis is accepted or rejected,
as scientific knowledge is still advanced by both results. Failure lies in bad
experimental design, or defects in the mechanisms of reasoning that invalidate the
findings. The results are sound, and the process of drawing conclusion starts, as
long as the testing process is reliable and well planned.

Activity
Study the bar graph on the right. Then,
answer the questions provided.
1. What is the least favored color by the
children? Determine its number.
2. What is the mean of the five (5) favored
colors by the children?
3. What is the median favored color by the
children?
4. In the five (5) favored colors by the
children, what is the mode?

Questions to Ponder!
• After observing the graph, what is the next thing that you did?
• How did you determine the least children’s favorite color?
• How did you determine the mean of the children’s favorite color?
• How did you determine the median of the children’s favorite color?
• How did you determine the mode of the children’s favorite color?
• How did you draw conclusions?

Drawing Conclusion refers to implied or inferred knowledge. This implies that the
data is never mentioned clearly.
Writers also tell you more than they say directly. They send you hints or clues that
help you "read between the lines." Using these clues to give you a deeper
understanding of your reading is called inferring. You go beyond the surface details
to see other meanings that the details indicate or suggest when you infer (not stated).
In the context of the text, where the meanings of words are not clearly specified, they
can be inferred, that is, indicated or hinted at. You might infer them when meanings
are implied.
Inference is just a big word that indicates a decision or inference. You cannot see,
hear, sound, smell, or taste the actual event if you believe that something has
happened. But it makes sense, from what you hear, to assume that it has happened.
Every day, you make inferences. You do it most of the time without thinking about
it.
