Statistics in Our Daily Life Project Work For Additional Mathemathics 2010 Nama:Mohammad - Irwandy Bin Mohammad - Jali Guru Pembimbing: Puan Rosmeela

The document discusses the history and modern use of statistics. It traces the evolution of statistics from its origins in the 18th century as the systematic collection of demographic and economic data, to its current role as an autonomous mathematical science used across many fields to understand data and make informed decisions. The document also outlines how statistics has broadened in use over the 20th century with the creation of tools for fields like agriculture, public health, industry, and economics.

Statistics In Our Daily Life

PROJECT WORK FOR ADDITIONAL


MATHEMATHICS 2010
Nama:Mohammad.Irwandy bin Mohammad.Jali
Guru Pembimbing: Puan Rosmeela

Introduction
We students taking Additional Mathematics are required to
carry out
a project work while we are in Form 5.This year the
Curriculum
Development Division, Ministry of Education has prepared
four tasks
for us.We are to choose and complete only ONE task
based on our
area of interest.This project can be done in groups or
individually,but
each of us are expected to submit an individually written
report.Upon
completion of the Additional Mathematics Project Work,we
are to
gain valuable experiences and able to:
...Apply and adapt a variety of problem solving strategies
to
solve routine and non-routine problems;
...Experience classroom environments which are
challenging,
interesting and meaningful and hence improve their
thinking
skills.
...Experience classroom environments where knowledge
and
skills are applied in meaningful ways in solving real-life
problems
...Experience classroom environments where expressing
ones
mathematical thinking,reasoning and communication are
highly encouraged and expected
...Experience classroom environments that stimulates and
enhances effective learning.
...Acquire effective mathematical communication through
oral
and writing,and to use the language of mathematics to
express
mathematical ideas correctly and precisely
...Enhance acquisition of mathematical knowledge and
skills
through problem-solving in ways that increase interest and
confidence
...Prepare ourselves for the demand of our future
undertakings
and in workplace
...Realise that mathematics is an important and powerful
tool in
solving real-life problems and hence develop positive
attitude
towards mathematics.
...Train ourselves not only to be independent learners but
also to
collaborate, to cooperate, and to share knowledge in an
engaging and healthy environment
...Use technology especially the ICT appropriately and
effectively
...Train ourselves to appreciate the intrinsic values of
mathematics and to become more creative and innovative
...Realize the importance and the beauty of mathematics

We are expected to submit the project work within three


weeks
from the first day the task is being administered to
us.Failure to
submit the written report will result in us not receiving
certificate

Appreciation
Alhamdullilah,thank you to Allah for giving the will to do my additional mathehatics project.Secondly, I
would like to thank the principle of Kolej Datu Patinggi Abang Haji Abdillah, Puan Johara Binti Zen for
giving the permission to do my Additional Mathematics Project Work. I also like to thank my Additional
Mathematics teacher, Madam Rosmeela for the guide and giving useful and important information for me
to complete this project work. Besides that, I would like to thank my parents for their support and
encouragement. Lastly, a special thanks to all my friends for their help and cooperation in searching for
information and completing this project work.

History of statistic
By the 18th century, the term " statistics" designated the systematic
collection of demographic and economic data by states. In the early 19th
century, the meaning of "statistics" broadened, then including the discipline
concerned with the collection, summary, and analysis of data. Today statistics is
widely employed in government, business, and all the sciences.
Electronic computers have expedited statistical computation, and have allowed
statisticians to develop "computer-intensive" methods.
The term "mathematical statistics" designates the mathematical theories
of probability and statistical inference, which are used in statistical practice. The
relation between statistics and probability theory developed rather late,
however. In the 19th century, statistics increasingly used probability theory,
whose initial results were found in the17th and 18th centuries, particularly in
the analysis of games of chance (gambling). By 1800, astronomy used
probability models and statistical theories, particularly the method of least
squares, which was invented by Legendre and Gauss. Early probability theory
and statistics was systematized and extended by Laplace; following Laplace,
probability and statistics have been in continual development. In the 19th
century, social scientists used statistical r easoning and probability models to
advance the new sciences of experimental psychology and sociology; physical
scientists used statistical reasoning and probability models to advance the new
sciences of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. The development of
statistical reasoning was closely associated with the development of inductive
logic and the scientific method.

Statistics is not a field of mathematics but an autonomous mathematical science ,


like computer science or operations research. Unlike mathematics, statistics had
its origins in public administration and maintains a specia l concern
with demography and economics. Being concerned with the scientific
method and inductive logic, statistical theory has close association with
the philosophy of science; with its emphasis on learning from data and making
best predictions, statistics has great overlap with the decision
science and microeconomics. With its concerns with data, statistics has overlap
with information science and computer science.

Statistics today
During the 20th century, the creation of precise instruments for agricultural
research, public health concerns (epidemiology, biostatistics, etc.),
industrial quality control, and economic and social purposes
(unemployment rate, econometry, etc.) necessitated substantial advances in
statistical practices.

Today the use of statistics has broadened far beyond its origins. Individuals
and organizations use statistics to understand data and make informed
decisions throughout the natural and social sciences, medicine, business,
and other areas.

Statistics is generally regarded not as a subfield of mathematics but rather


as a distinct, albeit allied, field. Many universities maintain separate
mathematics and stati stics departments. Statistics is also taught in
departments as diverse as psychology, education, and public health.
