Introductory Message
For the learner:
Welcome to the Mathematics 7 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on
Simple Statistical Instruments!
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often
used to depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create
and accomplish. Hence, this learning resource signifies that you as a learner is
capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!
This module is designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities
for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be able to

What Is It
A statistical instrument is any process whose aim is to describe a

phenomenon by using interview guide, questionnaire or a rating scale.
Here are the statistical instruments that are commonly used in

research.
1. Interview guide
It is a list of questions to be asked face to face to gather data from the
respondents. It can be structured or unstructured interview.
Types of Definition/Description Examples

Interview Guide
Structured Is an interview following  What is your favorite

 What did you want to
be when you were in
elementary school?
What do you want to
be when you are an
adult?
Unstructured Is an interview which  Tell me about

3. A restaurant manager requests her customers to fill in the form. What type
of statistical instrument does the manager use?
A. Structured or closed format C. Rating scale
B. Unstructured or open format D. Interview
These are examples of a structured or closed format instrument

because among the four choices you have to choose only one answer.
How about these examples?
1. What kind of entertainment do children like?
2. Why did you choose to eat at Elvie’s food chain?
3. What school subject did you enjoy the most?
4. If you change just one thing about your hobbies, what would it be?
These are examples of unstructured or open format instrument

because the respondents have the freedom to answer in their own words,
instead of limiting their responses to a set of pre-selected choices.

3. Rating scales
It is often used in survey research and respondents are ask to rate or

Take a look at this:
1. Watching TV too much makes people lazy.
(1) Strongly disagree (2) Disagree (3) Agree (4) Strongly Agree
