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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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

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.

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
25, 33, 35, 45, 34, 26, 29, 35, 38, 40, 45, 38, 28, 29, 25, 39, 32, 27, 47, 45

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.

Measures of Variability of GROUPED DATA
Using the given table below, let us solve for the measures of variability.
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.

B. Average Deviation
The average deviation of grouped data, denoted by 𝐷𝑥̅, is the average distance
between the class marks (x) of the class intervals and the mean (𝑥̅̅).

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.
30 DO_Q4_MATHEMATICS7_LESSON9
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).

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.
