INTRODUCTION
Given the values of the variables X and Y,
evaluate the following summations.

3. 5.
4.
Number of Spots
Consider rolling a die. What is the average number of spots
that would appear?

Step 1: Construct the probability distribution for the


random variable X representing the number spots that would
appear.
Step 2: Multiply the value of the random variable X by
the corresponding probability
Step 3: Add the results obtained in Step 2.
Number of Spots
Grocery Items
The probabilities that a customer will buy 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
items in a grocery store are respectively. What is the
average number of items that a customer will buy?
Step 1: Construct the probability distribution for the random variable X
representing the number customer will buy.
Step 2: Multiply the value of the random variable X by the corresponding
probability
Step 3: Add the results obtained in Step 2.

Surgery Patients
The probabilities that a surgeon operates on 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7
patients in any day are 0.15, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25, and 0.30,
respectively. Find the average number of patients that a
surgeon operates on a day.
Step 1: Construct the probability distribution for the random variable X
representing the number of patients that a surgeon operates on a day.
Step 2: Multiply the value of the random variable X by the corresponding
probability
Step 3: Add the results obtained in Step 2.

The Four Essential Processes in
Statistics are as Follows:

1. COLLECTING OF DATA
2. ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION OF DATA
3. ANALYSIS OF DATA
4. INTERPRETATION OF DATA
Inferential
Aims to infer or to make Measures commonly used in
interpretation by making a inferential statistics include analysis
concluding statement about the of variance, t-test, Chi-square test,
population based on the result derived correlation and regression analysis
from a data set.
The Four Essential Processes in
Statistics are as Follows:
COLLECTING OF DATA
• What is useful and needed
• Where to get information, and
• How to get information.
The Four Essential Processes in
Statistics are as Follows:
ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION OF DATA
• Collecting
• Classifying and Arranging
• Presenting data gathered in preparation to its
analysis
The Four Essential Processes in
Statistics are as Follows:
ANALYSIS OF DATA
• Comparison and contrast
• Description
• Statistical measurement to produce numerical
values and qualitative summary.
The Four Essential Processes in
Statistics are as Follows:
Interpretation of Data
• Generalizing
• Forecasting
• Recommending solutions and interventions about
the study.
DATA
IS A BODY OF INFORMATION OR OBSERVATIONS BEING
CONSIDERED BY THE RESEARCHER.
VARIABLE
USED TO DEFINE CERTAIN OBSERVABLE VALUES OR
CHARACTERISTICS.
Three Different Ways of
Classifying Data

A. According to Nature
B. According to Source
C. According to Arrangement

Quantitative or numerical data
• Those obtained from variables which are in the form of
numbers, e.g., age, height, weight, amount.
Qualitative or categorical data
• Those obtained from variables which are in the form of
categories, characteristics, names or labels, e.g., gender,
socio-economic status, civil status

Ungrouped Data
• Are the data without any specific order or
arrangement.
Grouped Data
• Are data arranged or tabulated and presented in
an organized manner.
Quantitative Data can be Further Classified
According to Measurement
Discrete Data
• Are those obtained from counting process where data are whole
numbers, e.g., household size, number of cans of sardines
produced.
Continuous Data
• Are those obtained through the measuring process where data
are values that may be decimals or fractions, e.g., inflation rate,
weight in kilograms.
Four Scales of Data Measurement
Interval Scale
• Set of interval data are consistent and meaningful, but it does not
involve a true zero point.
• Indicates an actual amount

Ratio Scale
• There is true zero and multiplication and division of
measurements can be performed. Examples are height and
weight. Order and difference can be described.
