In addition, students will undergo pre-test and post-test short-examination. The pre-test questionnaires will
be given at the start of each rating period (Prelims, Midterms, Finals) while the post-test questionnaires will
be given at the end of each rating period. The results of the assessment will serve as one of the key
indicators that determine the effectiveness of this learning material. Thus, exemplifying honesty and
rectitude in this particular undertaking are highly appreciated and commendable.
Always keep connected and updated with announcements and relevant information concerning this course.

B. Mathematics as a Tool
Introduction
Mathematics is a powerful tool for global understanding and communication. Using it, students can
make sense of the world and solve complex and real problems. Rethinking math in a global context offers
students a twist on the typical content that makes the math itself more applicable and meaningful for
students. For students to function in a global context, math content needs to help them get to global
competence, which is understanding different perspectives and world conditions, recognizing that issues
are interconnected across the globe, as well as communicating and acting in appropriate ways. In math,
this means reconsidering the typical content in a typical ways and showing students how the world consists
of situations, events and phenomena that can be sorted out using the right math tools. In this learning
material, you will find out how mathematics is applied as a powerful tool in our nature.
Another way is to classify data into four levels of measurement such as nominal, ordinal,
interval and ratio. The nominal level of measurement is the lowest of the four ways to
characterize data. Nominal data deals with names, categories, or labels. Data at the nominal level is
qualitative. Colors of eyes, yes or no responses to a survey, and favorite breakfast cereal all deal
with the nominal level of measurement.
Ordinal level of measurement ranks qualitative data. Winners in a pageant and the academic
rank of teachers are examples of ordinal data. Interval level of measurement deals with data that
can be ordered, and in which differences between the data does make sense. Data at this level
does not have a starting point. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales of temperatures are both
examples of data at the interval level of measurement. The fourth and highest level of
measurement is the ratio level. Data at the ratio level possess all of the features of the interval
level, in addition to a zero value. Examples are weight, the time to answer a quiz and the number of
absences of students in a class.
A relative frequency is the ratio (fraction or proportion) of the number of times a value of the data
occurs in the set of all outcomes to the total number of outcomes. To find the relative frequencies,
divide each frequency by the total number of students in the sample. Relative frequencies can be
written as fractions, percent, or decimals.
Cumulative relative frequency is the accumulation of the previous relative frequencies. To find the
cumulative relative frequencies, add all the previous relative frequencies to the relative frequency
for the current row.
When the range of the data is large, grouped frequency distributions are used. The smallest
and largest possible data values in a class are the lower- and upper-class limits. Class
boundaries separate the classes. To find a class boundary, average the upper-class limit of
one class and the lower-class limit of the next class. The class width can be calculated by
subtracting successive lower-class limits (or boundaries) or successive upper-class limits (or
boundaries). The class midpoint Xm can be calculated by averaging upper and lower class
limits (or boundaries).
Example 2
The following data represent the record high temperatures for each of the 50 states.
Construct a grouped frequency distribution for the data.
112 100 127 120 134 118 105 110 109 112 110 118 117 116 118 122 114
114 105 109 107 112 114 115 118 117 118 122 106 110 116 108 110 121
113 120 119 111 104 111 120 113 120 117 105 110 118 112 114 114
Step 2. Determine the no. of classes k, k = 1 + 3.32 log n, where n is the no. of population.
k = 1 + 3.32 log n; 1+ 3.32 log 50 = 6.64
Step 4. Make the classes. For convenience sake, we will choose the lowest data value, 100
for the first lower class limit. The subsequent lower-class limits are found by adding the width
to the previous lower-class limits.
Step 5. Tally the data.

Range: 29 - 10 = 19
k = 1 + 3.32 log n; 1+ 3.32 log 50 = 6.64
Class width: i =

= 6.64 2.86 or 3

Graphical Presentation
The graphical presentation on the other hand, is a visual presentation of the data. A graph is a tool
that helps you learn about the shape or distribution of a sample. The graph can be a more effective
way of presenting data than a mass of numbers because we can see where data clusters and
where there are only a few data values. Graphs are commonly used in oral presentation. There are
several forms of graphs to use like the pie chart, pictograph, bar graph, line graph, histogram,
frequency polygon and box-plot.
1. Histogram
A histogram is a graph that displays the data by using vertical bars of various heights to
represent the frequencies of the classes. The horizontal axis is labeled with what the data
represents. The vertical axis is labeled either frequency or relative frequency. Histograms use
class boundaries and frequencies of the classes.
Example
Construct a histogram to represent the data for the record high temperatures for each of the
50 states.
2. Frequency Polygon
Frequency polygon is a graph that displays the data by using lines that connect points plotted
for the frequencies at the class midpoints. The frequencies are represented by the heights of the
points and the class midpoints are represented on the horizontal axis. Frequency polygons use
class midpoints and frequencies of the classes.
Example
Using the example above, construct a frequency polygon.
3. Box Plot
A box plot is also known as box-and-whisker plots or box-whisker plots. It shows how far the
extreme values are from most of the data. A box plot is constructed from five values: the
minimum value, the 1st quartile, the median, the 3rd quartile, and the maximum value. We use
these values to compare how close other data values are to them. To construct a box plot, use a
Example
Consider the dataset. 1; 1; 2; 2; 4; 6; 6.8; 7.2; 8; 8.3; 9; 10; 10; 11.5 The 1st quartile is 2, the
median is 7, and the 3rd quartile is 9. The smallest value is 1, and the largest value is 11.5. The
following image shows the constructed box plot.
4. Pareto Chart
A Pareto chart is a bar graph. The lengths of the bars represent frequency or cost (time or
money), and are arranged with longest bars on the left and the shortest to the right.
3. Pie Chart
A Pie Chart (or Pie Graph) is a special chart that uses "pie slices" to show relative sizes of data.
The chart is divided into sectors, where each sector shows the relative size of each value.
Science Club = 30% Math Club = 40% English Club = 20% History Club = 10%

Solution: 9, 10, 11, 11.5, 12,13 get the average; 䁛 䁛
11.25
The median score is 11.25 which means that 50% of the sizes in the distribution are lower
than 11.25, those are 11, 10 and 9; and 50% are greater than 11.25, those are 13, 12 and
11.5 which mean three scores are below 11.25 and three scores are above 11.25.

Answer: The modes are 8 & 12 since 8 & 12 appeared twice. Hence, the distribution is
bimodal.
