3. WHAT IS STATISTICS?
Statistics – is the science that deals
with the collection, organization
and presentation, analysis and
interpretation of all kinds of data
pertinent to the study being
considered.
4. 2TYPES OF STATISTICS
DECRIPTIVE STATISTICS – is a group of
statistical measurements that aims to
provide the basic characteristics of a data
through tables and graphs and other
descriptive measures such as measures of
central tendency, measures of position,
and measures of variation.

5. 2TYPES OF STATISTICS
INFERENTIAL STATISTICS – aims to infer
or to make interpretations by making a
concluding statement about the population
based on the result derived from a data set.
Measures commonly used in inferential
statistics include: Analysis ofVariance
(ANOVA), t-test, chi-square test,
correlation and regression analysis. .
6. 1. Collection of Data
– refers to the gathering of related
information such as:
(a) what is useful and needed;
(b) where to get information and
(c) how to get information
7. 2. Organization and Presentation of Data –
refers to the systematic way of organizing data. It
involves the following:
(a) Collecting;
(b) Classifying and arraying, and
(c) Presenting data gathered in preparation to its
analysis.
8. 3. Analysis of Data – refers to extracting relevant
information the systematic way of organizing data. It
involves the following:
(a) Comparison and contrast;
(b) Description, and
(c) Statistical measurements to come up with
numerical values and qualitative summary as a
resulting conclusion.
9. 4. Interpretation of Data – refers to the drawing
of logical statements from the analyzed
information. In involves the following:
(a) Generalizing;
(b) Forecasting, and
(c) Recommending solutions and interventions
about the study.
10. 2 MAJORTERMS USED IN STATISTICS
DATA – is a body of information or observations being
considered by the researcher.When data is processed,
information, which is the basis for decision making is
produced.
VARIABLE – is used to define certain observable values or
characteristics. It is called variable since the characteristics
vary from one another.The values of the variable are the
possible observable values or characteristics of the variable.
These values are the data to be processed.
11. DIFFERENT WAYS OF CLASSIFYING DATA
ACCORDINGTO NATURE
QUANTITATIVE or NUMERICAL DATA are those obtained
from variables which are in the form of numbers e.g. age,
height, amount.
QUALITATIVE or CATEGORICAL DATA are those obtained
from variables which are in the form of categories,
characteristics, names or labels, e.g. gender, socio-economic
status, civil status.
12. DIFFERENT WAYS OF CLASSIFYING DATA
ACCORDINGTO SOURCE
PRIMARY DATA are first-hand information, e.g. data
gathered from a survey, where the person who
collected the data is the one using it.
SECONDARY DATA are second-hand information
e.g. information from newspapers or journals,
economic indicators.The data being used are
collected by another person or organization.
13. DIFFERENT WAYS OF CLASSIFYING DATA
ACCORDINGTO ARRANGEMENT
UNGROUPED DATA are data without specific
order or arrangement.They are referred to as raw
data.
GROUPED DATA are data arranged or tabulated
and presented in an organized manner.
14. QUANTITATIVE DATA CLASSIFIED
ACCORDINGTO MEASUREMENT
DISCRETE DATA are those obtained from counting
process where data are whole numbers, e.g.
household size, number of cans of sardines
produced.
CONTINUOUS DATA are those obtained through
the measuring process where the data are values
that may be decimals or fractions, e.g. inflation rate,
weight in kilograms.
15. FOUR SCALES OF DATA MEASUREMENT
(ALSO REFERREDTO AS LEVELS OF DATA)
1. NOMINAL SCALE is the lowest level of data
measurement where the values for the variables
are used for identification purposes only and it
does not signify any quantitative value.To record
nominal data, numbers are arbitrarily assigned to
each category.
16. FOUR SCALES OF DATA MEASUREMENT
(ALSO REFERREDTO AS LEVELS OF DATA)
1. NOMINAL SCALE
Examples: marital status in a survey questionnaire
may include the following values: single,
married/living with partner, widowed, separated.
To encode the responses, values may be assigned
as follows: 1 for single, 2 for married, 3 for
widowed and 4 for separated.
17. FOUR SCALES OF DATA MEASUREMENT
(ALSO REFERREDTO AS LEVELS OF DATA)
2. ORDINAL SCALE has all the properties of the nominal
scale, but the numbers obtained also gives the order of the
values. It is used only in variables tha involves ranking
process.
For Example:
If the variable is positions in the company, the possible
responses may be managerial, supervisory and rank and
file. Managerial position may be assigned a value of 1,
supervisory 2, and rank and file 3.
18. FOUR SCALES OF DATA MEASUREMENT
(ALSO REFERREDTO AS LEVELS OF DATA)
3. INTERVAL SCALE has all the properties of the
ordinal scale.The intervals between values in a set of
interval data are consistent and meaningful, but it
does not involve a true zero point. Furthermore, since
they ar real numbers, all calculations can be
performed.
For Example:
IQ scores of students in a grade 11 class.
19. FOUR SCALES OF DATA MEASUREMENT
(ALSO REFERREDTO AS LEVELS OF DATA)
4. RATIO SCALE has all the properties of the
interval scale.In this level there is a true zero point
(an absolute value of zero) and multiplication and
division of measurements can be performed.
For Example:
Height and weight.
20. FOUR SCALES OF DATA MEASUREMENT
(ALSO REFERREDTO AS LEVELS OF DATA)
Note:
Interval and Ratio scales are the
highest level of data measurement
because all calculations involving the
data sets are valid.

ASEAGAS SEEKS REGULATORY NOD ON BIOMASS
PLANT’S GRID CONNECTION FACILITY
(BY MYRNA VELASCO, MANILA BULLETIN, OCTOBER 21, 2015 ISSUE)
Aboitiz firm Aseagas Corporation is seeking regulatory approval for a point-to point limited
transmission line that will connect 8.8 megawatt biomass power facility to the power grid.
It is emphasized in its filing with Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) that it intends to
connect its power project via the 69 kilovolt (kV) Calaca-Nasugbu transmission line of the
National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.
The plant is targeted to kick-off with its commissioning phase within this month,
although the ERC is still scheduling public hearings on its petition.
The grid connection’s facility’s project cost will be ₱12.757 million according to the project
sponsor firm, with the bulked earmarked for supply of labor, materials and equipment.
“The construction of the Aseagas point-to-point project shall be funded internally and
externally from a pool of generated funds,” the Aboitiz firm said.

It added that it is “seeking to to undergo negotiations with the National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (NGCP) as regards to the maintenance and operation of the dedicated point-to-point limited
transmission line.”
Aseagas has noted that based on the system impact study (SIS), undertaken for the project, the
planned point-to-point connection “is technically feasible.”
It added that “evaluation on the thermal loading of transmission line shows that there is no
overloading of existing lines that is directly linked to the interconnection of the project plant.”
Aseagas similarly indicated that “the plant can deliver its full capacity to the grid without
additional reinforcements needed to be set up by the NGCP.”
The biomass plant is being lined up to be among the renewable energy project that could avail of
the feed-in-tariff prescribed for that particular technology type.
The project was initially intended to produce “ liquid fuels,” but the collapse in global oil prices
reportedly prompted the project to shift into a power-producing venture.

THE LATEST RESEARCH ON LOW PRODUCTIVITY SAYS
TECHNOLOGY HASN’T HELPED MUCH
(BY GREGG ROBB,WWW.MARKETWATCH.COM, MARCH 4, 2016 ISSUE)
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — A key indicator of the long-term vibrancy of the
economy, labor productivity, is not weak because of inaccurate government statistics or a failure
to account for the rise of Google, Facebook and the Internet, according to new research from a
team of Federal Reserve economists.
U.S. productivity, or output per hour of labor, has been weak over the past decade, rising
a meager 0.7% for all of 2015.This is down from the 2.7% seen after WorldWar II and through the
mid-1970s and 3% during the tech-boom of the mid-1990s through 2005.
All things equal, slower productivity means slower growth and living standards.
For years, economists have been debating the causes and even the accuracy of the
slowdown in productivity.
One common explanation from skeptics is that government statistics don’t capture
recent innovations like Google, Facebook or the Internet.
38. ARTICLE 2:
THE LATEST RESEARCH ON LOW PRODUCTIVITY SAYS
TECHNOLOGY HASN’T HELPED MUCH
(BY GREGG ROBB,WWW.MARKETWATCH.COM, MARCH 4, 2016 ISSUE)
But in research published Friday for a conference next week at the Brookings Institution, David
Byrne, an economist at the Fed, John Femald, an economist at the San Francisco Fed, and Marshall
Reinsdorf of the International Monetary Fund, argue that Google and Facebook are more akin to
television and what people do in their free time. So these developments don’t impact business
productivity all that much.
The researchers said that there could be another wave of the information technology
revolution from cloud computing, the Internet of things, and the radical increase in mobility
represented by smartphones.
“But since the early 1970s, modest and incremental productivity growth has more often been
the norm,” the paper concluded.
The researchers said they experimented with new measures for computers and
communications equipment that the government doesn’t use. On balance, using these
measurements, the labor productivity slowdown is modestly larger.

Hello, everyone! I am Levigilda B. Carbos from Castillejos, Zambales. I work as a Senior High School teacher at Castillejos National High School. I love teaching because it gives me joy and excitement meeting learners in different parts of the country.
In my class, I work with wonderful enthusiasm and positivity. I’m interested in many different topics, and I’m happy to focus on my learners’ goals.
So , Let’s Start!!!
Let us now define What is Statistics?
Statistics is the science that deals with the collection, organization and presentation, analysis and interpretation of all kinds of data pertinent to the study being considered.
With regards to what is happening right now in our country which is ,
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into full view the value and importance of statistics.
“Statistical data drives a myriad of decisions that impact the lives of the people of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and worldwide. In this period of the Novel Coronavirus global pandemic, COVID-19, statistics are required to track the status of the pandemic, and its economic and social impact, reinforcing its value to society. Statistics as a science of learning provides an essential service, through making available data for decision-making in the face of uncertainty,”.
This is how important Statistics is in our daily lives especially at our present time with the Pandemic.
There are 2 TYPES OF STATISTICS
1. DECRIPTIVE STATISTICS – is a group of statistical measurements that aims to provide the basic characteristics of a data through tables and graphs and other descriptive measures such as measures of central tendency, measures of position, and measures of variation.
Let’s first clarify the main purpose of descriptive data analysis. It’s to help you get a feel for the data, to tell us what happened in the past and to highlight potential relationships between variables.
In a nutshell, descriptive statistics just describes and summarizes data but do not allow us to draw conclusions about the whole population from which we took the sample. You are simply summarizing the data with charts, tables, and graphs.
Example:
You’ve performed a survey to 40 respondents about their favorite car color. And now you have a spreadsheet with the results.
However, this spreadsheet is not very informative and you want to summarize the data with some graphs and charts that can allow you to come up with some simple conclusions (e.g. 24% of people said that white is their favorite color).
For sure, this would be much more representative and clear than an ugly spreadsheet. And you have a plenty of options to visualize data such as pie charts, line charts, etc.
That’s the core of descriptive statistics. Note that you are not drawing any conclusions about the full population.
There are 2 MAIN TYPES of Descriptive Statistics :
1. Measures of Central Tendency or Central Location (Mean, Median and the Mode).
2. Measures of Variability ( Range, Variance and the Standard Deviation).
But, we’ll have a deeper understanding on this topics in a separate discussion.
Now, the second type of Statistics is the inferential statistics. It aims to infer or to make interpretations by making a concluding statement about the population based on the result derived from a data set. Measures commonly used in inferential statistics include : Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), T-test, Chi-square, Correlation and regression analysis.
Conversely, with inferential statistics, you are using statistics to test a hypothesis, draw conclusions and make predictions about a whole population, based on your sample.
