LESSON 4: Mathematics as
a Tool: Data Management
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this lesson, the student must be able to:

Use a variety of statistical tools to process and manage


numerical data.
Use the methods of linear regression and correlations to
predict the value of a variable given certain conditions.
Advocate the use of statistical data in making important
decisions
4.1 DATA GATHERING AND
ORGANIZING DATA;
REPRESENTING DATA , USING
GRAPHS & CHARTS; AND
INTERPRETING ORGANIZED DATA
DEFINITION:

RAW DATA are data collected which are not organized


systematically.
PRIMARY DATA are data collected directly by the
researcher.
SECONDARY DATA are information taken from published or
unpublished materials previously gathered by other
researchers.
GROUPED DATA are raw data presented in the form of
frequency distribution
TWO METHODS OF ORGANIZING DATA:

1. SETTING UP an ARRAY – is an ordering of the observations


from the smallest to the largest or vice versa.

2. STEM-AND-LEAF DIAGRAM - is setting up the data into


stem and leaf positions wherein the numbers are broken
into tens and unit digits. Each row represents a stem
position and each digit to the right of a vertical line is a
leaf.
DIFFERENT FORMS OF DATA PRESENTATION:

1. TABULAR FORM – data are presented in rows


and columns.

2. GRAPHICAL FORM – data are presented in


graphs and diagrams.
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION

Another way of presenting raw data is the frequency table. It


is a table wherein the data are arranged in tabular form by
the frequencies of the given samples of raw data.

Suggested Formula for Class Interval using Sloven’s Formula:


SCI = highest value observed minus lowest value observed
divided by 1+3.322 log N
TRUE LIMITS AND CLASS MARKS:

True limits or Class Boundaries - is a point that represents the


halfway point between successive classes. It is obtained by
adding the upper limit and lower limit of the next class and
dividing by 2.

Class Mark - is the midpoint of a class. It is obtained by


adding the lower limit and the upper limit of the class
boundaries and dividing by 2.
EXAMPLE 1:

Consider the scores of 40 students in a 100-points


mathematics quiz as follows:

40 62 48 90 55 67 66 51 58 62

61 37 54 18 54 44 26 55 63 58

56 34 61 50 60 53 55 62 53 43

63 71 65 79 45 66 19 27 85 35
Instruction: 1. Use any method of organizing data;
2. Construct the frequency distribution table; and
3. Construct the class boundaries and class mark
table.

71 – 80 71 80 70.5 80.5 75.5
81 – 90 81 90 80.5 90.5 85.5
Activity 4:
 Instruction: Use any method of organizing data; 2. construct the frequency distribution table; and
3. construct the class boundaries and class mark table. Consider the ages of 60 members of
Cooperative in San Jose Del Monte as follows:

50 52 38 80 65 77 56 61 58 62

51 36 54 18 54 44 26 52 63 18
