Parameter and Statistic
Learning Competency The learner will be able to 1. Distinguish between parameter and statistic.
A parameter is a measure that describes a population . It is usually denoted by Greek letters. A statistic is a measure that describes a sample . It is usually denoted by Roman letters.
Examples Parameter Statistic
The population mean is the mean of the entire population. It is computed using the formula:
Example 1 . The numbers of workers in six outlets of a fast food restaurant are 12, 10, 11, 15, 12, and 14. Treating these data as a population, find the population mean .
Solution: The population mean is computed by summing up all the data and dividing the sum by the number of data N . All the data are used to find the population mean. Number x 1 12 2 10 3 11 4 15 5 12 6 14
The mean is affected by each datum. If the value of one datum is too small in comparison with the other data, it will lower the value of the mean. If a datum is too big compared with the other data, it will increase the value of the mean.
Example 2 . Assume that the last datum in Example 1 is 2 instead of 14. Number x 1 12 2 10 3 11 4 15 5 12 6 2 Solution:
Example 3 . Assume that the last datum in Example 1 is 30 instead of 14. Number x 1 12 2 10 3 11 4 15 5 12 6 30 Solution:
Population Variance and Population Standard Deviation
Variance and standard deviation are widely used measures of dispersion of data in research. The population variance is the sum of the squared deviations of each datum from the population mean divided by the population size N. The population standard deviation is the square root of the population variance .
Formula for the Population variance Formula for Population Standard Deviation
Example 4 . The following are the ages of 16 Teachers at USEP- Mintal . Compute the following: Population variance Population standard deviation 30 34 32 38 28 36 40 31 35 34 33 30 37 40 30 40
Solution: Step1. Compute the Step2. Compute Step3. Squared step 2 Then compute what is asked in a and b . 30 34 32 38 28 36 40 31 35 34 33 30 37 40 30 40
The sample mean is the average of all the values randomly selected from the population. That is,
Example 5 . The following are the ages of 16 Teachers at USEP- Mintal . Assume that a researcher randomly selected 12 out of the 16 teachers. Assume that the encircled data below are those that were randomly selected. Compute the sample mean . 30 34 32 38 28 36 40 31 35 34 33 30 37 40 30 40 30 34 32 38 28 36 40 31 35 34 33 30 37 40 30 40
Sample Variance and Sample Standard Method 1 Method 2
Method 1 The sample variance is the sum of the squared deviation of each data from the sample mean divided by n-1. It uses the formula below. The sample standard deviation s is the square root of the sample variance given by the equation below.
Example 7 . Calculate the sample variance and sample standard deviation of the 12 randomly selected data in Example 5. Solution : Step1. Solve for the Step2. Solve for Step3. Solve for the square of step 2
Example 8 . The following are the scores of 8 randomly selected students in Grade 10: C ompute the following: Sample mean Sample variance Sample standard deviation 7 8 12 15 10 11 9 and 14
Solution : Step1. Solve for the Step2. Solve for Step3. Solve for the square of step 2

Finding the Sample Mean from a Frequency Distribution
Sometimes, researchers organize and present their data using a frequency distribution table (FDT). Sample mean has two methods but still produce the same results.
Sample Mean Method 1 Method 2
Method 1 (Sample mean) Example 10 . Find the sample mean from the frequency distribution table below. Scores Frequency (f) 40-42 2 43-45 5 46-48 8 49-51 12 52-54 6 55-57 4 58-60 3

Trivia The 12 th letter of the Greek alphabet was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water (H 2 O). In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 40. In statistics, it represents the population mean.
