IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

I. Introduction (Time Frame: 30 minutes)
Good day! Our lesson for today is about how we can explore real life problems wherein Statistics plays a vital role. Below are three inquiries
that require information or data needed for their particular purposes.

Inquiry 1 Household Commodities

A. supply of rice B. transportation allowance C. medicines

and food items

Which of the items above is the most essential among many households in San Pablo
City?

Inquiry 2 Modular and Online Modes of Learning

In your class section, how many students are taking the modular modality of learning? How
many are studying online? Are all your classmates have internet access at home?

Inquiry 3 COVID-19 Vaccination

In your barangay, how many residents are willing to be

vaccinated against COVID-19?
How many are not willing to be vaccinated?
What are the reasons why some do not want to be vaccinated?

D. Development (Time Frame: 100 minutes)

WHAT IS STATISTICS?

Statistics is the science of collecting, organizing, interpreting, and analyzing data. It is very important because it has many applications in the
society.

WHAT ARE THE USES OF STATISTICS?

Statistics aids in decision making. This includes the following purposes.

1. It allows comparison of quantities
2. It provides estimation of unknown quantities
3. It gives explanation to actions that has taken place
WHAT IS DATA?
Data are units of information, often numeric, recorded and used for the purpose of analysis. 1 of 4
HOW CAN STATISTICS SOLVE PROBLEMS?
Consider the following three situations.

Situation 1: Academic Performance

Luisito , a grade 7 student would like to know if his academic performance improved from 1 st quarter to 2nd
quarter. He decided to ask his adviser to show him his report card.

Based on the data on the report card,

1. Did Luisito perform with improvement in the second quarter?
2. What data on the report card will prove that Luisito performed better?
3. What is the purpose of the grade average? report card with grade clipart - Bing images

Grade average serves as the numerical equivalent of your TOTAL performance for the quarter. In
this case, Luisito got 87% in the second quarter which is higher than that of the 1 st quarter grade average
of 85%. This means Luisito performed better in the second quarter.

Situation 2: Weather Reports

Melinda and her high school friends will attend a 3-day field trip to Manila. As they are
planning for the trip, Melinda would like to know if the weather will be fair for the next 3
days. She decided to watch the local weather news.
Based on the weather report,
1. If the 3-day trip will start on Friday, how will you describe the upcoming weather?
2. What does 40% chance of precipitation for the next 3 days mean?
3. Is it important to know the weather conditions during outdoor activities?
Chance of precipitation is a data that is important in weather reports. It is expressed in
percent. A 40% chance of rain means that there is a relatively average possibility that there
will be rain showers for the next 3 days. With these data, Melinda may decide if she needs to
bring an umbrella or raincoat or she may decide to cancel the trip since it will possibly be
rainy outside and they may not be able to enjoy the outdoor viewing.

Situation 3: Exchange Rates

Mrs. Flores has just claimed a remittance from her bank account amounting to 100 US dollars. She would like to convert the money to pesos.
The following exchange rates were posted in front of her bank and the other is in a money-exchange office.

Based on the data, Bank

1. Which will Mrs. Flores choose, the rate offered by the bank or the money changer?
Why?
2. If the money changer is located a ride away that will cost her to spend P150, will it still $1.00 = Php 48.50
be a better decision to convert the money to the money changer?
3. Is it important that you compare the exchange rates of money changers?
If Mrs. Flores will convert the money to the bank, the equivalent amount will be $100 x
Money Changer
P48.50 = Php4,850. If she visits the money changer, the amount will be
$100xP49.50 = PhP4950, which is P100 MORE THAN the bank’s offer. Thus, Mrs Flores $1.00 = Php 49.50
should choose the money changer.
But if she will spend P150 in visiting the money changer, the better decision is to convert her money in the bank.
In converting foreign currency bills, it is important to canvass first what are the available exchange rates near your place. Also, consider other
expenses such as transportation allowance, possible transaction fees and others.

From the Problems given, we can say that there are many functions or uses of Statistics and the following are some of them.
Functions or Uses of Statistics
A. Statistics helps in providing a better understanding and exact description of a phenomenon of nature.
B. Statistics helps in proper and efficient planning of a statistical inquiry in any field of study.
C. Statistics helps in collecting appropriate quantitative data.
D. Statistics helps in presenting complex data in a suitable tabular and graphic form for an easy and clear comprehension of the data.
E. Statistics helps in drawing valid inferences, along with a measure of their reliability about the population parameters from the sample data.
