STATISTICS
The science of collecting,
organizing, summarizing, and
analyzing information to draw
conclusions or answer
questions.
The word “information” in
statistics refers to “data” or
the factual information used as
a basis for reasoning,
discussion, or calculation.
Statistics is about providing a
measure of confidence in any
conclusions.
IMPORTANCE OF STATISTICS
• Statistics helps people to make decisions according
on empirical data.
• Statistics helps in converting huge amount of data
into pertinent information that can be used in
decision making.
• Statistics can give us information that we can use
in making right decisions.
Important Terms on Statistics
• Population- is the total or entire group
of individuals or observations from
which information is desired by a
researcher.
• Sample- is a subset of population.

Direction: Identify the population and sample in

Important Terms on Statistics
• Descriptive statistics- consist of organizing and
summarizing data. It describes data through
numerical summaries, tables, and graphs.
• Inferential statistics- uses methods that take a

result from a sample, extend it to the
population, and measure the reliability of the
result.
TRY THESE:
Direction: For the following statements, decide whether it
belongs to the field of descriptive statistics or inferential
statistics
1. A badminton player wants to know his average score for the past
ten years.
2. A car manufacturer wishes to estimate the average lifetime of

batteries by testing a sample of 50 batteries.
3. Janine wants to determine the variability of her six exam scores in

algebra.
FIELDS OF STATISTICS
• Mathematical Statistics- The study and
development of statistical theory and
methods in the abstract.
• Applied statistics- The application of
statistical methods in solving real and actual
problems. Some of the branches of applied
statistics are biostatistics and psychometrics.
PROCESS OF STATISTICS
1. Identify the objective of the research
- A researcher must know what question/s
he/she wants to answer. These questions
should identify the population to be studied
and the research objective.
2. Collect the information needed to answer
the question/s.
- Failure to collect data correctly results to a
meaningless conclusion.
3. Organize and summarize the information
- Descriptive statistics allow the researcher to
obtain an overview of the data and can help
determine the type of statistical methods the
researcher should use.
4. Draw conclusion form the information
- In this step, inferential statistics is used to
generate result from a sample; extend them to
a population; and measures the reliability of
the result.
LIMITATIONS OF STATISTICS
• Statistics is not suitable to the study of
qualitative phenomenon.
• Statistics does not study individuals.
• Statistical laws are not exact.
• Statistics table maybe misused.
• Statistics is only, one of the methods of studying
a problem.
