instruments!
Class Rules:
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the participants are expected to:
1. Identify simple statistical instruments;
2. Formulate simple statistical Instruments.
3. Use simple statistical instruments in daily
lives.

DEFINED IN EACH ITEM.
2. A collection of data from every
element in a population.
CENSUS
1.A branch of Mathematics that deals
with the collection, organization,
presentation, analysis, and interpretation
of data.
STATISTICS
3. Consist of numbers representing
counts and measurements.
QUALITATIVE DATA
4. A complete collection of all
elements to be studied
POPULATION
5. These are countable in a finite
amount of time.
DISCRETE VARIABLE
6. A variable obtained by measuring
objects or its attributes
CONTINUOUS VARIABLE
7. Descriptive attributes which can be
observed but not measured.
QUALITATIVE DATA
8. A sample that is chosen so that it is
easy for the researcher.
CONVENIENCE SAMPLE
9. It is characterized by data that
consist of names, labels, or categories
only.
NOMINAL MEASUREMENT
10. Each member of the population has
an equally likely chance of being
selected.
RANDOM SAMPLE
Statistical Instruments
-This are devices used by the researcher to gather data.
A statistical instrument is any
process that aim at describing a
phenomenon by using any tool. It
is a device used to gather or
collect the needed data of a
study.
Types of Statistical Instruments
1. Researcher –Completed Instruments
Statistical instruments specifically filled by the
researcher
Examples:
Rating scales, interview schedules/guides, tally sheets, flowcharts,
performance checklists, time and motion logs, and observation
forms, are some examples of researcher- completed instruments
which are to be filled by the researcher.
Types of Statistical Instruments
2. Subject-Completed Instruments
Statisticalinstruments which are to be filled by the
subject of the study or the ones being studied.
Examples:
Questionnaires, self-checklists, attitude scales, personality
inventories, achievement/aptitude tests, projective devices, and
sociometric devices are some examples of subject-completed
instruments which are to be filled by the subject of the study or the
ones being studied.
Formulating simple
Statistical Instruments
Data is a collection of facts or information. They may be
gathered using the following method:
1. Conducting Surveys
a. Interview
method is done when a person solicits
information from another person(face to face)
b. Questionnaireis done through the use of printed
questions regarding a certain matter.(pen and paper)
A Questionnaire is a set of printed or written
questions with a choice of answers, devised for
the purpose of a statistical study .
Survey is a form of a statistical instrument
used in investigating the opinions or experiences
of (a group of people) by asking them
questions.
[Link] the outcomes of Data/ Observation- The
person who gathers data is what we called the investigator
while the person/object being observed is the subject.
3. Experimentation is used by physicists and behavioral
scientists in collecting data.
4. Reading statistical Publication/Registration method
-refers to continuous, permanent, compulsory of the
recordings of the occurrence of vital events together with
certain identifying or descriptive characteristics concerning
them.
Scenario 1.
Charmaine wanted to know if her
classmates already submitted necessary
forms for scholarship application. What
statistical instrument can she use to ensure
accuracy of data.
Basedon the scenario, we can conclude that Charmaine
needs to ask her classmates if they already submitted the
necessary forms . Due to possible high number of her
classmates, she can have a hard time if she directly
checked the forms of her classmates one-by-one.
Recall that subject completed instrument is
a statistical instrument which is to be filled
by the subject or the ones being studied.
In this case, to save time, Charmaine can use a
checklist that is to be filled by her classmates to
ensure that each of them already submitted the
necessary documents for scholarship application
Guides in formulating questions:
1. Be clear, specific, and direct.
2. Use the participant’s vocabulary
3. Walk like a real person and treat the questions like a conversation
4. Ask only one person at a time
5. Practice good grammar
6. Avoid bias and loaded words
7. Start with broad, general questions and progress to specific and harder ones

Activity 2: Complete the graphic organizer below about survey and
questionnaire.
STATISTICAL INSTRUMENTS
SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE
A questionnaire is a research instrument that consists of a set of
questions or other types of prompts that aims to collect information
from a respondent. A questionnaire may or may not be delivered in the
form of a survey, but a survey always consists of a questionnaire.
Activity 3: What I Can Do!
Read the situation below and answer the following
questions that follow.
A class of students gathered data concerning which canteen
foods were most often thrown in the garbage. As a result of
these efforts, certain items were removed from the regular
menu.
1. What do you think did the students do to gather the
needed data?
2. How did they know which foods were most often thrown in
the garbage?
3. If you were to do the same, how will you do it?
Activity 4: Make Me Organize!
1. From the survey in your community or in school, you find
out how far your classmates are travelling from their house to
their barangay hall to get their module.(Interview 10
schoolmates) Make the best estimate using kilometer .
2. If you are the RBI secretary in your class, how can you
identify the number and names of the Most Engaged
Learners in Mathematics every Tuesday.
Make Me Organize!
Each learner will type on the chat box their names, address and the
distance they are travelling in going to their barangay hall to get
their modules. Time of submission is after one hour of the session.
NAME ADDRESS DISTANCE FROM YOUR HOUSE TO YOUR
BARANGAY HALL(in METER)
