Editor's Notes
- # 5 : From the previous lessons you have already learned and identified the measures of position and the process of computing. Now that you have a deeper understanding of these concepts, in this lesson, you are going to apply the concepts you learned in formulating statistical mini-research. But before we proceed, let us check our previous knowledge about sampling techniques, measures of central tendency, and variability
- # 6 : From the previous lessons you have already learned and identified the measures of position and the process of computing. Now that you have a deeper understanding of these concepts, in this lesson, you are going to apply the concepts you learned in formulating statistical mini-research. But before we proceed, let us check our previous knowledge about sampling techniques, measures of central tendency, and variability
- # 7 : A population consists of all the objects or events of a certain type about which researchers seek knowledge or information. A population might be broad in scope (e.g., adult males living in the United States) or narrow (e.g., blog postings in the first 24 hours after a significant event). A population is the entire group that you want to draw conclusions about.
- # 8 : Even when a population consists of a relatively small number of objects or events, it is often impractical or impossible to gather data about each member of the population. Instead, researchers select a subset of the population, called a sample, which is a manageable size for observation. From their observations about the sample, researchers make generalizations about the population from which the sample was chosen. A sample is the specific group that you will collect data from. The size of the sample is always less than the total size of the population.
- # 13 : A measure of central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position within that set of data
- # 14 : Maen
- # 19 : Since you are going to conduct a statistical mini-research, the aforementioned terminologies are important, and applications also of the computational knowledge you gained are significant.
- # 21 : Solution : The picture above illustrates the tabletop game using cards. This game is called Solitaire (Solitaryo in tagalog ay larong nagsasanay ng utak ) and can be played by one person. This is popular among people even in the old times, particularly in a remote area. We can observe our grandparents playing these tabletop game cards solely while resting after a hard time working from the farm. Solitaire is an excellent way to diffuse any tension in one’s mind or body and helps the person enjoys the day or get to sleep better at night; enough sleep keeps the body healthy. It gives the mind something to focus on, particularly in times of low action when the opportunity to fret is high.
- # 22 : Let us make a Concept Map about the measures of central tendency and use the numbers shown from the cards to identify the mean, median , mode, range, and interquartile range.
- # 30 : Now that you have reviewed the concepts about measures of central tendency and variability; and you have already learned and identified measures of position and the process of computing and interpreting results. All these concepts are significant as you learn the lesson on how to conduct a statistical mini-research and be able to answer the guide question: “How can the position of data be described and used in solving problems?”
- # 31 : Research is the careful consideration of study regarding a particular concern or research problem using scientific methods.
- # 32 : According to the American sociologist Earl Robert Babbie, “research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict, and control the observed phenomenon. It involves inductive and deductive methods.”
- # 33 : Research is the careful consideration of study regarding a particular concern or research problem using scientific methods.
- # 34 : Note: -Research is not only about the discovery of something unknown but it is coming up with a new explanation of something that is known. -Research is a process. It is a process of searching for something to solve for an existing problem or difficulty that needs to solve. But I will not discuss in detailed the concept of the research as a topic because 1 hour or weeks is not enough. There will be a particular subject for this research, especially when you move to SHS. What I will show you is the concept of mini-statistical research preparatory concepts and ideas for college and shs. Now let’s have a sample.
- # 36 : Title must be specific.
- # 37 : The background of a study is the first section of the paper and establishes the context underlying the research. It contains the rationale, the key problem statement, and a brief overview of research questions that are addressed in the rest of the paper.
- # 38 : A statement of the problem is used in research work as a claim that outlines the problem addressed by a study. The statement of the problem briefly addresses the question: What is the problem that the research will address? The problem must be reflected in your title. It means to talk about the subject matter of your paper. Ina way it means describing the issue you are going to investigate and solve.
- # 39 : This focuses the question: “Who will benefit from the study? It also states the contribution and usefulness of your study in the society.
- # 40 : Research design is a plan to answer your research question.
- # 41 : The main difference between quantitative and qualitative research is the type of data they collect and analyze. -Quantitative research collects numerical data and analyzes it using statistical methods. The aim is to produce objective, empirical data that can be measured and expressed in numerical terms. Quantitative research is often used to test hypotheses, identify patterns, and make predictions. -Qualitative research, on the other hand, collects non-numerical data such as words, images, and sounds. The focus is on exploring subjective experiences, opinions, and attitudes, often through observation and interviews.

Iv. learning phases and learning activities.
I. Introduction (Time Frame: _ 20 minutes____) At the end of this lesson you are expected to :
- organize the knowledge about sampling techniques, measures of central tendency and variability;
- recall the gained knowledge about measures of positions or the quantiles; and
- conduct statistical mini-research and apply the statistical methods.
From the previous lessons you have already learned and identified the measures of position and the process of
Now that you have a deeper understanding of these concepts, in this lesson, you are going to apply the concepts you.
learned in formulating statistical mini-research. But before we proceed, let us check our previous knowledge about sampling
techniques, measures of central tendency, and variability.
Let us recall the following :
Population- the set of all possible values of a variable.
Sample – consists of one or more data drawn from a population.
Sampling – method of choosing a representative from a population.
Probability Sampling involves random selection, allowing you to make strong statistical inferences
about the whole group.
Non- probability i nvolves non-random selection based on convenience or other criteria, allowing you to
collect data easily.
Measures of Central Tendency – are sometimes called measures of central location.
A measure of central tendency is a single value that attempts to describe a set of data by identifying the central position within
that set of data
Mean - often called the average; it is equal to the sum of all the values in the data set divided by the number of values in the
Median - the middle score for a set of data that has been arranged in order of magnitude.
Range – the difference between the highest and the lowest values in a given set of data.
Interquartile Rang e - the middle half of the data that is in between the upper and lower quartiles.
Variance is the average squared difference of the values from the mean.
Standard Deviation is the standard or typical difference between each data point and the mean.
Since you are going to conduct a statistical mini-research, the aforementioned terminologies are important, and applications
also of the computational knowledge you gained are significant.
Let us have a review.
Illustrative Example 1.
Look at the pictures below, does it illustrate something ?What can you say about it?
Let us make a Concept Map about the measures of central tendency and use the numbers shown from the cards to
identify the mean, median , mode, range, and interquartile range.
The picture above illustrates the tabletop game using cards. This game is called Solitaire ( Solitaryo in tagalog ay larong
nagsasanay ng utak ) and can be played by one person. This is popular among people even in the old times, particularly in a
remote area. In San Pablo City, we can observe our grandparents playing these tabletop game cards solely while resting after
a hard time working from the farm. Solitaire is an excellent way to diffuse any tension in one’s mind or body and helps the
person enjoys the day or get to sleep better at night; enough sleep keeps the body healthy. It gives the mind something to
focus on, particularly in times of low action when the opportunity to fret is high.
Let us use the number in each card in reviewing the concepts about the measures of central tendency and variability
. These numbers are : 7, 10, 8, 4, 6, 3, 7
By Concept Mapping you can easily organize your knowledge learned from the previous lessons you had when you were in grade 8.
