GROUP 4 PERFORMANCE TASK

STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY

THIRD QUARTER

A. Descriptive statistics
1. Mean
Mean is an average of a set of values, calculated by summing up numbers and dividing by the total count.
It is a crucial statistical measure that provides insight into the expected outcome when comparing data
points. It should not be interpreted in isolation and does not guarantee future results.
Example:
 Getting the average age of their employees.
There are five employees in Juan’s restaurant with the following ages: 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40.
Solution:
20 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 40 = 150
150 ÷ 5 = 30
The average age of Juan’s employees is 30. This is the mean of the data set.
2. Median
The median is the middle value in a sorted set of numerical data. This indicates that half of the values are
less than the median value and half are greater than the median value. When identifying the median, the
data is to be sorted in ascending order and the centermost value is referred to as the median.
Example:
 The price range of the crochet business Miyukipuffs for their crocheted items: ₱40, ₱45,
₱50, ₱60, ₱65. The median of the data set is ₱50. This is determined as the data is arranged in an
ascending order and ₱50 is the center value.
3. Mode
The mode in statistics refers to a number in a set of numbers that repeats or occurs more often. It may
have one mode, two or more modes, or no mode at all. It shows the difference between the greatest and
least numbers in the given data set.
Example:
 A shoe company identifying what appropriate men's shoe size to sell in the market.
The company conducted an online survey regarding the men's shoe size and got:
39,41,37,41,47,45,41,39,45,39,37,41,42,43,41,45,47,50,49,40.

Arrange the data: 37,37,39,39,39,40,41,41,41,41,41,42,43,45,45,45,47,47,49,50

Count how many times the value is repeated: 37 = 2, 39 = 3, 40 = 1, 41 = 5, 42 = 1, 43 = 1, 45 = 3, 47
= 2, 49 = 1, 50 = 1

The mode or most frequent value in the survey relating to shoe size is 41 since out of 20
answers, it appeared 5 times.

4. Standard Deviation
The variability of the data set is determined by the standard deviation, which describes the
dispersion or scatter of the data concerning the mean. There is a higher standard deviation when the
 data is further from the mean. This is because the more the data is scattered, the higher the standard
deviation.
Example:
 Standard deviation of a set of data representing the daily temperatures (in degrees Celsius)
in a city over the course of a week.
The daily temperature (in degrees Celsius) accumulated over the course of a week is:
{20, 22, 19, 25, 21, 23, 18}
To find the standard deviation, we first calculate the mean (average) temperature:
20 + 22 + 19 + 25 + 21 + 23 + 18 = 148
148 ÷ 7 = 21.14
Then, we calculate the variance, which is the average of the squared differences from the mean
which is approximately 5.138.
Finally, the standard deviation is the square root of the variance:
2.27
So, the standard deviation of the daily temperatures over the week is approximately 2.27 °C.
A larger standard deviation suggests that the weather in this city during that week was more
unpredictable or variable, with greater fluctuations in temperature from day to day. On the other
hand, a smaller standard deviation would imply more consistent temperatures throughout the
week.
So, in this context, the standard deviation helps us understand the consistency or variability in the
daily temperatures over the week.

5. Homogeneous
Homogeneous refers to the uniformity of the data within a population. The data is referred to as
homogeneous if it has similarities and identical characteristics. It is homogeneous if it is drawn from
the same population or source.
Example:
 A research survey was conducted among the students of Grade 11 - Fortitude where five
female students were interviewed. The data gathered in the interview is homogeneous as the
data came from a single population with similar characteristics namely grade level, section, and
gender.
6. Heterogeneous
A data set that contains a diverse set of characteristics and features is considered heterogeneous.
Heterogeneous refers to the data sets’ diversity and differences. It is the opposite of homogeneous
which indicates that the part of a whole is different.
Example:
 Maria was at a fast-food chain, and she ordered the following for her family: Spaghetti,
Chicken, Burger Steak, and Soda drinks. The data set is an example of a heterogeneous data
set as each food Maria chose has different characteristics and properties including the food type,
taste, and texture.

This portfolio task was a stepping stone to further improve my knowledge and skills in statistics. It was not as
heavy compared to the other performance tasks, but it was certainly a challenging one to do considering the
workload that we have. Hence, it allowed me to work on my time management and improve my discipline. Even
when the schedules seemed tight, I tried my best to handle everything especially since this task required my
time and effort to be keen on the details and make sure, we, as a group were able to provide a good output. This
taught me to be a committed learner who perseveres amidst the obstacles she faces.

This statistic task also allowed each member to be creative. The topic we chose, which is related to the game
Mobile Legends, may seem unconventional, but surely it taught us to think outside the box. I am not as familiar
with the game compared to the other members, so the terminologies were new to me. However, as the leader
of the group, it taught me to find ways how am I able to help accomplish the portfolio. This includes having a
thorough understanding of the statistical concepts involved, such as descriptive statistics and the data set and
challenges me to utilize them as we create this performance task. This helped me to be a competent learner.

Furthermore, this task tested our collaborative skills in ways more than one. I was able to demonstrate my
communication skills and let the other members have the chance to express their own ideas. I recognize and
appreciate my members’ cooperation. This allowed me to be a credible and values-driven learner. Despite the
many details to be accomplished in the portfolio, we were able to show and utilize the existing knowledge that
we have from past discussions. All of these allowed us to improve and become a learner better than we were
before doing this task.
