INTRODUCTI

ON TO
STATISTICS
LESSON OBJECTIVE:
Define
Statistics, its
application and
importance, and
WHAT IS STATISTICS?
Statistics is a branch of
mathematics that deals
with collecting, organizing,
presenting, analyzing, and
interpreting data to come
up with a useful and
meaningful information.
BRANCH OF STATISTICS
Descriptive Statistics is used
to describe and summarize
collected sample data. These
data can be shown using
graphical and tabular
representations. Types of
descriptive statistics includes
frequency distribution, central
GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF
DATA
TABULAR REPRESENTATION OF DATA
BRANCH OF STATISTICS
Inferential Statistics is
used to analyze sample
data which leads to
inferences, generalization,
conclusion, and decision of
the population data.
Hypothesis testing is
commonly being used as
POPULATION, CENSUS, AND
SAMPLE
Population refers to the set of all the
data in a study.
Census is a collection of data in a
population.
Sample are drawn from the population.
WHAT IS A DATA?
Data are units of
information usually
numerical that are
collected through
observation. Types of
data includes
quantitative and
QUANTITATIVE DATA
Quantitative data composed of
numbers representing counts and
measurements.
Examples of Quantitative Data
❖ General average of students
❖ Years in Teaching Service
❖ Annual Income of an Employee
❖ Students studying hours
❖ Population Growth Rate
QUALITATIVE DATA
Qualitative data are divided into
distinct categories that are
distinguished by some
nonnumeric characteristics.
Examples of Qualitative Data
❖ Civil status
❖ Highest Educational
Attainment
❖ Skin color
TYPES OF QUANTITATIVE
DATA
Discrete data is a count
that involves finite number
of possible values.
Examples of discrete data
are number of students in
a school, number of
languages in the world,
TYPES OF QUANTITATIVE
DATA
Continuous data is a
data that can take any
value (within a range)
Examples of continuous
data are students
height, dog’s weight,
and classroom
FOUR LEVELS OF
MEASUREMENT
Nominal Level of Measurement
- In this level of measurement,
we can use words, letters, and
alpha-numeric symbols.
Examples of Nominal Data
❖ Blood type
❖ Zip Code
❖ Gender
❖ Political Party
FOUR LEVELS OF
MEASUREMENT
Ordinal Level of Measurement
- In this level of measurement,
data are arranged in some
particular order.
Examples of Ordinal Data
❖ Socio-economic status
❖ Level of education
❖ Level of income
❖ Customer’s level of satisfaction
FOUR LEVELS OF
MEASUREMENT
Interval Level of Measurement
- It is like an ordinal level but with
meaningful amount of differences
between data can be determined.
Zero does not represent an absence of
something in an interval scale.
Examples of Interval Data
❖ Temperature (Fahrenheit and
Celsius)
❖ IQ Test
FOUR LEVELS OF
MEASUREMENT
Ratio Level of Measurement
- It is exactly the same as interval
except that the zero on the scale
means does not exist.
Examples of Ratio Data
❖ Weight
❖ Area
❖ Speed and Velocity
