LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

April 22, 2024 (Monday)

Grade Level: Grade 11

Week: 6
Duration: 1 day
Objectives: The students will be able to:
 illustrate random sampling
 distinguish between parameter and statistic

Instructions:

The population refers to the whole group under study or investigation. In research, the
population does not always refer to people. It may mean a group containing elements of
anything you want to study, such as objects, events, organizations, countries, species,
organisms, etc.

A sample is a subset taken from a population, either by random sampling or by non-random

sampling. A sample is a representation of the population where it is hoped that valid
conclusions will be drawn from the population.

Random sampling is a selection of n elements derived from the N population, which is

the subject of an investigation or experiment, where each point of the sample has an
equal chance of being selected using the appropriate sampling technique.

Types of Random Sampling Techniques

1. Lottery sampling is a sampling technique in which each member of the population has an
equal chance of being selected. An instance of this is when members of the population have
their names represented by small pieces of paper that are then randomly mixed together and
picked out. In the sample, the members selected will be included.

2. Systematic sampling is a sampling technique in which members of the population are listed
and samples are selected at intervals called sample intervals. In this technique, every nth item
in the list will be selected from a randomly selected starting point. For example, if we want to
draw a 200 sample from a population of 6,000, we can select every 3rd person in the list. In
practice, the numbers between 1 and 30 will be chosen randomly to act as the starting point.
3. Stratified random sampling is a sampling procedure in which members of the population
are grouped on the basis of their homogeneity. This technique is used when there are a
number of distinct subgroups in the population within which full representation is required. The
sample is constructed by classifying the population into subpopulations or strata on the basis
of certain characteristics of the population, such as age, gender or socio-economic status.
The selection of elements is then done separately from within each stratum, usually by random
or systematic sampling methods.

Example:
Using stratified random sampling, select a sample of 400 students from the population which
are grouped according to the cities they come from. The table shows the number of students
per city.

City Population (N)

A 12, 000
B 10, 000
C 4, 000
D 2, 000

Solution:
To determine the number of students to be taken as sample from each city, we divide the
number of students per city by total population (N= 28,000) multiply the result by the total
sample size (n= 400).

4. Cluster sampling is sometimes referred to as area sampling and applied on a geographical basis.
Generally, first sampling is performed at higher levels before going down to lower levels. For example,
samples are taken randomly from the provinces first, followed by cities, municipalities or barangays,
and then from households.

5. Multi-stage sampling uses a combination of different sampling techniques. For example, when
selecting respondents for a national election survey, we can use the lottery method first for regions and
cities. We can then use stratified sampling to determine the number of respondents from selected
areas and clusters

PARAMETER AND STATISTICS

A parameter is a descriptive population measure. It is a measure of the characteristics
of the entire population (a mass of all the units under consideration that share common
characteristics) based on all the elements within that population.
Example:
1. All people living in one city, all-male teenagers worldwide, all elements in a shopping cart,
and all students in a classroom.
2. The researcher interviewed all the students of a school for their favorite apparel brand.
 Statistic is the number that describes the sample. It can be calculated and observed
directly. The statistic is a characteristic of a population or sample group. You will get the
sample statistic when you collect the sample and calculate the standard deviation and
the mean. You can use sample statistic to draw certain conclusions about the entire
population.

Example:
1. Fifty percent of people living in the U.S. agree with the latest health care proposal.
Researchers can’t ask hundreds of millions of people if they agree, so they take samples or
part of the population and calculate the rest.
2. Researcher interviewed the 70% of covid-19 survivors.

Activities: Do the following activities on a 1 whole sheet of paper.

Directions: Identify the terms being described.

1. It refers to the entire group that is under study or investigation.

2. It is a subset taken from a population, either by random or non-random sampling
technique. A sample is a representation of the population where one hopes to draw valid
conclusions from about population.
3. This is a selection of n elements derived from a population N, which is the subject of the
investigation or experiment, where each sample point has an equal chance of being
selected using the appropriate sampling technique.
4. A sampling technique where every member of the population has an equal chance of
being selected.
5. It refers to a sampling technique in which members of the population are listed and
samples are selected in intervals called sample intervals.

Directions: Identify the type of sampling method.

__________1. The teacher writes all the names of students in a piece of paper and puts it in a
box for the graded recitation.
__________2. The teacher gets the class record and call every 4th name in the list.
__________3. Every five files out of 500 files will be chosen.
__________4. There are 20 toddlers, 40 teenagers, 45 middle aged and 55 senior citizens in a
certain area. Samples are taken according to the total number of people in the area.
__________5. All the names of the employees of the company are put in a raffle box.

Directions: Determine the statement whether it is true or false. Write T if the statement is true
and F if it is false.

_____1. A statistic is a number which describes a sample.

_____2. A parameter is a descriptive measure of population.
_____3. An example of parameter is the sample mean.
_____4. The value of a parameter can be approximated and is not necessarily equal to the
statistic of a sample.
_____5. An example of statistic is a population mean.

Directions: Decide whether the statement describes a parameter or statistic.

1. The average income of 40 out of 100 households in a certain Barangay is P 12, 213.00 a
month.
2. Percentage of red cars in the Philippines.
3. Number of senior high schools in Region 3.
4. A recent survey of a sample of 250 high school students reported the average weight of
54.3 kg.
5. Average age of students in East High School.
