STATISTICS AND
PROBABILITY
Descriptive vs Inferential
Statistics
LEARNING
TARGETS:
explain the importance of
1 statistics by identifying at
least three real world
applications where statistics is
used
2 differentiate between
descriptive and inferential
statistics
MOTIVATION: GUESS THE
NUMBER!
Guess how many items are in

the jar. The student who gets
the correct answer will be
awarded.
DEFINITION OF
STATISTICS
Statistics is a branch TYPES OF STATISTICS

Inferential Statistics

THINK ABOUT THIS ...
• How did you decide on your guess for the number of items in the
jar?
• What factors influenced your guess?
• How confident were you in your guess? Why?
• Did you think about using any strategies to improve your guess?
• How does making a guess relate to using statistics in real life?
• Why might making accurate guesses or predictions be important
in various fields, like business or science?
• How does knowing the actual number help us understand how
close or far off our guesses were?
• What can we learn from comparing our guesses to the actual
number? How might this relate to using data to make better
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
• Data is typically arranged and

displayed in tables or graphs
summarizing details such as
histograms, pie charts, bars or
scatter plots.
• Descriptive Statistics are just
descriptive and thus do not require
normalization beyond the Data
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
• "The average income in our

neighborhood is Php 500,000."
• "The average of the shoe sizes in
this store is size 8."
• "In our survey, 70% of participants
said they exercise regularly."

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT AVERAGE: 16.8
SCORE OUT OF 20 20 20 20 9 12 20 15 20 14 18
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
• What does the average (mean) tell us about the data?

• How can knowing the average help us understand a group
of data points?
• Can you think of examples where you’ve seen averages
used, like in sports or school grades? How do they help in
understanding performance or trends?
• If we know the average, what does it tell us about the
whole group?
• Are there any situations where just knowing the average
might not give us the full picture?
INFERENTIAL STATISTICS
• use the probability principle to assess

whether trends contained in the
research sample can be generalized to
the larger population from which the
sample originally comes.
• intended to test hypotheses and
investigate relationships between
variables and can be used to make
INFERENTIAL STATISTICS
• "Based on our sample, we estimate that

75% of the city’s residents have access
to the internet."
• "From the data collected, we predict that
the average commute time for
employees in the city is about 30
minutes."
• "After surveying 200 voters, we infer

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
• How can we use the information from a small group

(sample) to make guesses about a larger group?
• Why might we want to make predictions about a bigger
group based on just a few examples?
• What are some situations where we might need to make
predictions or guesses based on a sample of data?
• How can making these predictions be helpful in decision-
making?
• Why is it important to choose a good sample if we want to
make accurate predictions?
