I. Objectives
At the end of the class discussion, the students will be able to:
1. differentiate range, standard deviation and variance of grouped and ungrouped data,
2. work cooperatively during class discussions,
3. solve problems involving measures of variation.
II. Subject Matter
Topic: Measures of Variation for Grouped and Ungrouped Data
Reference: MSA Statistics sand Probability page 46-51
Materials: Visual Aids, Hand-outs, Activity Notebook
Values: Participation
Time Frame: 4 hours
III. Procedure
A. Daily Routine
Opening Prayer
Greetings
Classroom Management
B. Review
Measures of Central Tendency
C. Activity
Matching Type
Arrange the letters in Column A and match its corresponding definition in Column B.
A B
1. EGNRA a. The difference between the highest and
2. DRANDTAS NOIATVIED the lowest value of data set.
D. 3. CENARIAV b. Calculated from a population data
c. Positive square root of SD.
d. Average grade
Analysis
What have you observed in the activity?
What are the three terms that will describe measures of variation?
How did you come up with its own definition?
What are your bases in matching each term to its definition?
E. Abstraction
Measures of Variation
1. Range- the difference between the highest and the lowest value of data set.
Example: Find the range of the scores of Grade 11- Masipag in their
reporting
98, 95, 96, 94, 89, 90,
Range= 98-89 =9
