Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics 10 Self-Learning Module on Gathering Data!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

LESSON

Gathering of Data is an important part of Statistics. Data should be collected

in a manner that they are accurate and convenient to use.
Data is a collection of facts or information. They may be gathered by using the
following methods.

1. Conducting Surveys
2. Observing the Outcomes of Events
3. Taking Measurements in Experiments
4. Reading Statistical Publication

The interview method and the questionnaire method can be used in

conducting surveys. The interview method is done when a person solicits information
from another person. The person gathering the data is called the interviewer, while
the person supplying the date is the interviewee.

If a survey involves a series of questions, the interview method will be very

tedious one to employ. Hence, the questionnaire method is advisable. The firm
prepares a printed questionnaire and distribute these to several respondents who
shall in turn answer the questionnaire and give it back to the firm. In a school that
wishes to upgrade classroom instruction, the administration usually ask students to
rate their teachers in different criteria by asking to fill out an evaluation form.

Behavioral scientists are primarily concerned with the behavior of of either an

individual or group of individuals. The data are gathered either individually or
collectively by means of observation. The person who gathers the data is called
investigator while the person being observed is called the subject.
 The physicist and chemist make use of the experimentation method in
gathering data. Questions like the following involve experimentation.

• Will a fertilizer produce more rice?

• Is it possible to produce paper from a manure of cows?
• Can sawdust be substituted for sand in the production of hollow blocks?

Example 1
Mrs. Rivera wants to find the number of students in her advisory class who
have birthdays falling on each of the 12 months. She collects the data in the following
manner:

a. Check the date of birth of each student in the class registry.

b. Ask the students to raise their hands if their birthdays fall in a certain
month.
c. Make a form and ask the students to write their birthdates and return the
form to her.
Identify the data-gathering method used in each case.
Solution:

a. reading publications
b. observing outcomes
c. conducting survey

Example 2

A restaurant manager request his/her customers to fill out this questionnaire.

PINK RIBBON RESTAURANT

Customer Satisfaction Survey

1. How would you rate our food?

Very good good bad very bad

2. How would you rate our service?

Very good good bad very bad

What type of data- gathering method does the manager use?

Solution:

a. conducting surveys
