Quick Survey

Family survey:
Family Survey
Name:
Do you….
_____ Live with your parents?
_____ Live with extended family (ex.
Grandparents/aunt/uncle)
_____ Parents Separated

Please bring out your survey forms.

Now, we will tally your answers on the board.

Choices Tally
Living with parents
Living with extended (The tallies will vary)
family
Parents are
separated

You might ask what this is for.

These data might tell us many things.

For example, it might give us information as to why

some students perform better in class. It might also
tell us why some students fail to perform well in
school.

Those who are living with their parents most probably

have more guidance than those who live with their
grandparents. And those who have separated parents
have emotional problems due to the separation of
their parents.

Now, how do we relate this to math?

Did you know that we were using statistics?

Now what is statistics?

Statistics - the study of the
collection, organization, analysis,
interpretation and presentation of
data.

Like in our family survey, we collected data with you

answering the question, we organized the data when
we tallied your answers and we analyzed and
interpreted the data when we used it to find out why
some students are performing well or not.

presentation of data.
Data is used to describe information mathematically.
An example is our Family survey; we have variables
such as living with parents, living with extended family
and separated parents. But those variables have no
numerical value. The data there is our tally, the
number of students that are under these choices.

Statistics stresses in the analysis and interpretation of

data.

The analysis and interpretation of the data may help

many people in their decision makings.

For example:

Ah! I hear the Philippines is very beautiful. But I can’t
decide on when I will spend my holiday there.

Now may I ask you, when will it be best to go to the

Philippines to enjoy the nice, warm weather?

Yes. Thank you for that brilliant suggestion.

This kind of graph is called a Bar Graph.

A Bar Graph is…

employment rate of the whole population however
there we can see that only around 50% of males and
30% of females are employed in the country. This
means that 50% of the male populous and 70% of the
females in the country is unemployed.

This type of graph is called a line graph.

USES OF STATISTICS

1) Statistics helps in providing a better

understanding and exact description of a
phenomenon of nature.

(2) Statistical helps in proper and efficient planning

of a statistical inquiry in any field of study.

(3) Statistical helps in collecting an appropriate

quantitative data.

(4) Statistics helps in presenting complex data in a

suitable tabular, diagrammatic and graphic form
for an easy and clear comprehension of the data.

(5) Statistics helps in understanding the nature and

pattern of variability of a phenomenon through
quantitative observations.

3. Generalization
