MINI-STATISTICAL RESEARCH Mathematics 10

WHAT IS STATISTICS?
Statistics is a branch of science that deals
with the collection, organization, analysis of
data and drawing of inferences from the
samples to the whole population.
WHAT IS A STATISTICAL MINI-
RESEARCH?
Statistical mini-research uses
appropriate measures of position
and other statistical methods in
analyzing and interpreting research
data.
There are three (3) parts of a mini-
research namely: Introduction,
Supporting paragraphs and
Conclusion.
I. INTRODUCTION
Introduction is the part of the mini-
research where the researcher will
discuss the purpose of the study,
the target respondents, the
statistical methods and measures
of position that will be used in
analyzing the data and interpreting
the results in order to give solution
to the research problem.
II. SUPPORTING PARAGRAPH
Here, the researcher will show the
data collected in a table form,
graphs, frequency table, compute
data using statistical methods such
as the range, class size or width,
and measures of position which
include the quartile, decile, and
percentile for ungrouped and
grouped data.
III. CONCLUSION

 Where the researcher interprets

the results and provides answer
to the research problem or
question
STEPS IN FORMULATING A STATISTICAL
MINI-RESEARCH
1. INTRODUCTION
2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
3. PRESENTATION OF DATA
4. DATA ANALYSIS &
INTERPRETATION
5. CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATION
INTRODUCTION

The introduction should be

designed to attract the reader's
attention and explain the focus of
the research. You will introduce
your overview of the topic, your
main points of information.
I. INTRODUCTION

This mini-research will investigate the

results of the Summative Examination
in Basic Calculus given to the G11
STEM class during the fourth quarter
period. Furthermore, the analysis will
include the measures of position for
grouped data.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This is used in research work as

a claim that outlines the problem
addressed by a study. The
statement of the problem briefly
addresses the question: What is
the problem that the research
will address?
II. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The study will investigate the results

of the Summative Examination in
Basic Calculus given to the G11 STEM
class during the fourth quarter period.
This will be conducted in Mount
Carmel College, Baler, Aurora during
the school year 2022-2023.
II. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Specifically, the study will answer the following:
a. What is the frequency distribution of the
scores of the Grade 11 STEM students in
their summative examination on Basic
Calculus?
b. How many students passed the summative
examination if the passing score belongs to
the third quartile?
c. What is the 5th decile score and 95th
percentile score of the results in the
summative examination of G11 STEM class?
PRESENTATION OF DATA

This refers to the organization of

data into tables, graphs or charts,
so that logical and statistical
conclusions can be derived from the
collected measurements. Data may
be presented in 3 Methods: (a)
Textual, (b) Tabular or (c) Graphical.
III. PRESENTATION OF DATA

DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

Data analysis is a process that

involves examining, and molding
collected data for interpretation to
discover relevant information, draw
or propose conclusions and support
decision-making to solve a research
problem. This involves interpreting
data to answer research questions.
IV. DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

Third Quartile Score:

Determine the position of the third
quartile score that is:
𝐾𝑁 3(30)
Position of Q 3 class = = =
4 4
90
= 22.5
4
IV. DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
This means we need to find a class interval
where the 22.5th score is contained. Note that
the 20th to 24th scores belong to the 60 - 64
class interval, thus the 22.5th score also
contained therein.
𝑘𝑁

Hence, 𝑄3 = 𝐿𝐵 + 𝑖
𝑓𝑄𝑘
22.5 − 19
𝑄3 = 59.5 + 5 = 63
5
IV. DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

This means that 75% of the G11

STEM students obtained a score less
than or equal to 63. Moreover, this
also implies that only 25% of the
class passed the exam with scores
greater than 63.
IV. DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
Fifth Decile Score: 57
This means that half of the class obtained
a score less than or equal to 57 while the
other half got a score greater than or equal
to 57.
Ninety-fifth Percentile Score: 71
This means that 95% of the class obtained
a score less than or equal to 71 while the
remaining 5% obtained a score higher
than 71.
CONCLUSION

The conclusion is the last part of

a research paper which
summarizes the whole paper and
explains its main purpose.
V. CONCLUSION
Analysis of the data obtained in this
mini-research shows that the minimum score
needed to pass the summative higher than 71
is 63. Hence, 75% of the class failed while
the upper 25% passed the summative higher
than 71. It can also be noted that the median
score is 57. This means that 50% of the class
got scores below or equal to 57 and the other
50% got scores higher than 57. Moreover,
students who got scores higher than 71 are
part of the upper 5% of the class.
