This document provides an introduction to basic statistics concepts. It instructs students to collect data on the ages of classmates, organize it into a frequency table or graph, and answer questions about the distribution of ages. The document explains that statistics involves gathering, arranging, and presenting numeric data systematically, such as through tables, graphs or by sorting data in ascending or descending order. It defines statistics as the study of collecting, analyzing and interpreting data to address research questions.

1. This is an introductory lesson to basic concepts,
uses, and importance of Statistics. The first lesson
allows you to experience systematic gathering and
organizing data. This makes use of your
knowledge of arranging numbers according to
some considerations, like arranging numbers in
descending or ascending order.

2. In this lesson, you are expected to:
 Collect or gather statistical data and organize
the data in a frequency table according to
some systematic consideration;
 Explain the basic concepts, uses and
importance of Statistics; and
 Pose questions and problems that may be
answered using Statistics.

3. 1. Do you think students in this class have
different ages?
2. How many in this class have the same age?
3. What is the most common age?
 To answer these questions, you will to do the
following:
 Record the age of each individual in your
group. List them down and prepare to
present it in the class.

4.  What do these numbers represent?
 Can we get clear and precise
information immediately as we look at
these numbers? Why?
 How can we make these numbers
meaningful for anyone who does not
know about the description of these
numbers?

5.  A good presentation is according to a
systematic consideration like the following:
 1. Arranging the data in either ascending or
descending order.
 2. Making a table to fit it the data.
 3. Use graphs or frequency table.

6.  In our daily activities, we encounter a lot of sorting
and organizing objects, data, or things like what you
just did.
 These are just few of the activities of doing
Statistics.
 a. What are some of the few activities that you did in
the previous activity?
 b. What is Statistics?
 2. Give some examples of activities which you think
Statistics is involved. 3. List down some problems or
questions that can be answered using Statistics.

7.  Statistics is the study of the collection,
organization, analysis, and interpretation of data.
It deals with all aspects of this, including the
planning of data collection in terms of the design
of surveys and experiments.
 Statistics is the science of collection, analysis,
and presentation of data. Statisticians contribute
to scientific enquiry by applying their knowledge
to the design of surveys and experiments; the
collection, processing, and analysis of data; and
the interpretation of the results.

8.  Make a survey in your community
or in school to find out how far
students travel to come to school.
Make the best estimate using
kilometers. Ask at least 40
students and present your data
using different methods.
