What is It
Statistics is a branch of Applied Mathematics specializing in procedures for

collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing, and interpreting data from
observations.
Statistics involves much more than simply drawing graphs and computing
averages.
 In education, it is frequently used to describe test results.

 In science, the data resulting from experiments must be collected and
analyzed.
 Manufacturers can provide better products at reasonable costs through
the use of statistical quality control techniques.
 In government, many kinds of statistical data are collected all the time.
 A knowledge of statistics can help you become more critical in your
analysis of information; hence, you will not be misled by manufactured
polls, graphs, and averages.
A statistical question is one that can be answered by collecting data that vary.
There are two types of data: numerical and categorical. Numerical data set are
those in numerical form which are either continuous or discrete. Discrete data are
those that can be counted in a finitely while continuous data are measurements
that can take any value from an is infinite range. Categorical data take non-
numerical values, such as colors, information or questions that are answerable by
YES or NO, labels, etc. (example: large, medium, and small)
The 4 steps below can be followed to solve real life problems using statistics
1. Pose the question that can be answered by data.

2. Determine a plan to collect data.
3. Organize and summarize the data.
4. Interpret the results and answer the question posed in Step 1 using the
organized and summarized data.
Example of Statistical Questions:
1. How many hours does the grade 7 students spend time in studying?
(Summarizing question)
2. Do the grade 7 students spend more time in social media than studying?
(Comparing question)
5
3. Do students who spend more time in studying do better in exam?
(Relationship question)
Example of Non-Statistical Questions:
1. How old are you?

2. What is your favorite subject?
3. How many siblings does Elise have?
Take note that each example of non-statistical question above has definite answer
and do not need data to be gathered.
Examples of Categorical Data
1. Since our country is infected with Corona Virus, do you follow the health
protocols given by the Department of Health?
2. Wintermelon is my favorite milktea flavor.
3. Blue signifies calmness, tranquility, relaxation and peace.
Examples of Numerical Data
A. Discrete Data
1. Number of boys and girls in grade 7 per section Sunflower
2. The result of rolling 3 dice
3. The number of books in the shelves
B. Continuous Data
1. The heights of all grade 7 students
2. Age of a persons
3. Distance travelled by an airplane overtime.
Sample problem:
On January 20, 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in the Philippines.*
This event was followed by the declaration of the COVID-19 outbreak as a global
pandemic by the WHO on March 11, 2020.** To solve this problem, data are
gathered to answer the following statistical questions.
1. How many people on every province of the country are being infected by the
virus, daily?
2. What sectors of the society are severely affected by the pandemic?
3. Among age groups of people in the country who are most vulnerable to be
infected by the virus?
4. How long do people recover from the virus?
6
*WHO Philippines Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Situation Report 1
**National Library of Medicine – National Center for Biotechnology Information
Observe that the data needed to answer the statistical questions above have
different nature. The number of people infected by the virus is a discrete data. The
time it takes for people to recover from the virus is a continuous data. The sectors
of the society that are severely affected by the pandemic & the people who are most
vulnerable to be infected by the virus are categorical data.
How do you think gathering data to answer the statistical questions above can
solve the problem on COVID-19 Pandemic? What other statistical questions and
data are needed to address the problem.

What is It
There are different statistical instruments that can be formulated and used to
gather data depending on the needs. Listed below are some of the statistical
instruments.
Observation- it focuses in determining the changes in the attitude, characteristics

and behavior of people or other subjects. This technique includes watching and
recording actions and behaviours.
Interviews- it is being performed through personally asking questions to people

who have the authority or expertise to say something about the data needed.
The person gathering the data is called the interviewer, while the person supplying
the data is the interviewee.
What shows are you From 7:00 - 8:00 PM

watching from 7:00 News TV; 9:00 -
PM to 10:00 PM? 10:00 PM Telenovela
Focus Group Discussion (FGD) - it is used to know the thinking, feeling or

opinion, about a certain phenomenon, idea and etc. FGD is conducted with a small
group of people with common knowledge and common field (usually 6 to 8 people).
Questionnaire- if you have big number of sample, it is the most practical way to
use. You gather data through writing. However, you must be careful presenting
your questions, since we need to consider the culture, and characteristics of the
respondents. You may use email, letter, or personally give your questionnaire to
your respondents.
Using different questions, and approaches to questioning, can allow us access to

the information we require. Questionnaires usually are comprised of a number of
questions that can either be closed questions, open-ended questions, or multiple-
choice.
Types of Questions
1. Closed questions
These are questions which can be answered with “Yes” or “No,” or they have a
limited set of possible answers (such as: A, B, C, or All of the above). For
example, ‘Do you wear glasses?’ the respondent either does (responding ‘yes’) or
doesn’t (responding ‘no’) wear glasses.
12
2. Open-ended questions
These are questions that allow someone to give a free-form answer. Example,
“How did you answer the modules?”
3. Multiple-choice questions
These are questions that provide a certain number of specific response options
as possible answers. An example of multiple-choice question would be:
“How do you spend your free time?”.

a. reading c. surfing the internet
b. listening to radio d. watching TV e. others (please specify: __)
Survey – in a national level, surveys are usually covered by the government and
other form of surveying organization such as National Statistics Office (NSO). A
survey can also be done in small scale (i.e. a class of 25 students can be surveyed)
Examples of Forms Used as Statistics Instruments

Please fill in the blank with the correct information.

1. Name: __________________________________
2. Age: _______________
3. Birthday: ___________________________

What is It
Collection of data is an important part of Statistics. Data should be collected

in a manner that they are accurate and convenient to use.
Data is a collection of facts or information. They may be gathered by using
the following methods.
1. Conducting Surveys
Example: Teacher made a form and ask the students to fill out the previous grades
and return the form to him/her.
2. Observing the Outcomes of Events
Example: Jessa wanted to find whether a die was fair or biased. She tossed the die
40 times and recorded the results.
3. Taking measurements in experiments
Example: The physicist and chemist conducted an experiment on how can saw
dust be substituted for sand in the production of hollow blocks.
4. Reading Statistical Publication
Example: Mr. Rivera check the date of birth of each student in the class registry.
5
Methods Used in the Collecting Data
 Interview Method – this method of collecting data is an oral or verbal
communication where the interviewer asks questions in any mode (face to
face, telephone, or virtual) to an interviewee. The person gathering the data
is called the interviewer, while the person supplying the data is the
interviewee.
 Questionnaire Method – on this method data is gathered through a set of

question that is mailed or handed to respondents who are expected to read
and understand them. And the respondents then, write down their
responses in the space provided the accomplished questionnaire is then
returned for appropriate processing.
 Observation Method – the data on this method are gathered either

individually or collectively by means of observation. The person who gathers
the data is called an investigator while the person being observed is called
the subject.
 Experiment Method – this method is used when the objective is to

determine the cause and effect relationship of a certain phenomenon under
controlled condition.
After gathering data, we need to organize them. If we don’t do this, we might

miss important information about the data and may result to difficulty in
interpreting the data that we have gathered. Using frequency table helps us to
record, clarify and easily find what we are looking for our data. In a tally table,
tally marks ( I ) are used to record data, while in a frequency table, numbers are
used instead of tally marks.
Frequency – the number of occurrences of a data

Frequency table – is a table that lists items and shows the number of
times the items occur.
Steps in constructing a frequency table (for ungrouped data)

Step 1: Make three columns. Arrange the data in order in the first column.
Step 2: Make a tally.
Step 3: Count the tallies then write the frequencies
Step 4: Total all the frequencies
6
Example 1:
Below are the results of a survey about the favorite colors of 15 students in a
freshman class. What color is the most favorite of the students and the least
favorite color?
Green Red Yellow White Red

Violet Black Green Yellow Black
Yellow Red White Red Green
Solution:
1. Write the colors in the first column.
2. Make a tally.
3. Count the tallies then write the frequencies.
4. Total all the frequencies.
Color Tally Frequency

Green III 3
Red IIII 4
Yellow III 3
Violet I 1
White II 2
Black II 2
TOTAL 15
Based on the table, it shows that red is the most favorite color and violet is the
least favorite color of the 15 students.
Example 2:
An airline asked their passenger on a flight to rate the quality of their
service. The table below shows the ratings of 24 passengers. Make a frequency
distribution table of the data collected. How many passengers gave a rating of 3
and below?
Service Ratings
3 5 4 2 4 3
4 2 1 4 3 5
5 1 2 5 3 1
4 3 5 2 5 2
5: Excellent 4: Very Good 3: Good 2: Fair 1: Poor
Solution:
1. Write the service ratings in order.
2. Make a tally.
3. Count the tallies then write the frequencies.
4. Total all the frequencies.
7
Service Rating Tally Frequency
Excellent 6
Very Good 5
Good 5
Fair 5
Poor 3
TOTAL : 24
The rates of 3 and below consist of good (3), fair (2), and poor (1). Their
frequencies are 5, 5, and 3, respectively. Adding these three frequencies will result
to 13, the number of passengers who gave a rating of 3 and below.
The word data refers to information that is collected and recorded. It can be in
the form of numbers, words, measurement and much more.
Grouped data is the type of data which is classified into groups after
collection.
Ungrouped data which is also known as raw data that has not been placed in
any group or category after collection.
Steps in constructing a frequency table for a given ungrouped data to be

transformed as a grouped data.
1. Determine the range.

Range is the difference between the highest value H and the lowest value L
in the set of data. R = H – L
2. Determine the desired number of the class interval or categories. The ideal
number of class interval in somewhere between 5 and 15.
3. Determine the class width or approximate size of the class interval by

dividing the range by the desired number of class intervals.
𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑅
Class width = in symbol w = 𝐶𝐼
𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑎𝑙
4. Write the class intervals starting with the lowest lower value as determined in
the data. Then add the class width to the starting point to get the next
interval. Do this until the highest value is contained in the last interval.
5. Tally the corresponding number of scores in each interval. Then summarize

the results or sum up the tallies under the frequency column.
8
Example 1:
The following are the test scores of students. Construct a suitable frequency
table. Use 6 as the desired number of class interval.
14 15 30 19 10 18
26 30 10 15 15 28
10 30 34 40 20 40
20 30 10 22 36 36
22 18 14 26 17 37
21 19 11 16 29
Solution:
R = H – L
= 40 – 10
= 30
2. Class Interval = 6
3. Determine the Class Width

𝑅 30
W = 𝐶𝐼 = 6
=5
the data.
- Starting with 10 and with w = 5, the class intervals are: 10 – 15, 16 – 21,
22 – 27, 28 – 33, 34 – 39, 40 – 45.
Scores Tally Frequency

10 – 15 10
16 – 21 9
22 – 27 4
28 – 33 6
34 – 39 4
40 – 45 2
TOTAL 35
9
Example 2:
The following are the weights (in lbs) of grade 7 students. Construct a
frequency table using 7 as the desired number of class interval. How many
students weigh more than 100 lbs?
Solution:
93 97 91 104 108 81 93 100 107

118 97 83 103 108 101 87 88 114
86 92 91 97 99 102 111 101 95
80 110 96 96 98 104 101 106 94
R = H – L
= 118 – 80
= 38
2. Desired Number of Class Interval = 7
3. Determine the Class Width
𝑅 38
W= = = 5.42 = 6
𝐶𝐼 7
the data.
- Starting with 80 and with w = 6, the class intervals are: 80 – 86,
87 – 93, 94 – 100, 101 – 107, 108 – 114, 115 – 121.

The table shows the frequency table
Weight (lbs) Tally Frequency
80 – 86 4
87 – 93 7
94 – 100 10
101 – 107 9
108 – 114 5
115 – 121 1
TOTAL 36
To answer the question, the students who weigh more than 100 lbs are
those in the class intervals 101 - 107, 108 – 114, and 115 – 121. Therefore, there
are 9 + 5 + 1 = 15 students who weigh more than 100 lbs.
