PARAMETERS AND STATISTICS
LEARNING COMPETENCY:
The learners will be able to:
▪ distinguishes between parameter
and statistic M11/12SP-IIId-3
Draw if the given value is a statistic and for
parameter.
1. The city of Manila is politically divided into 6
legislative districts.
2. The Philippines consists of 7641 islands.
3. Fifty students who were randomly selected will
participate in a study on the effects of using calculator in
learning Mathematics.
4. In a study concerning the economic status of employees
in a certain company, a researcher randomly selected 45
students.
5. Based on a sample of 900 elementary students
6. A researcher randomly selected 15 students from her
class. The selected students were asked to go to
auditorium to be interviewed by a researcher.
POPULATION SAMPLE
The population mean is the mean of
the entire population. It is
represented by the Greek letter mu ()
and is computed using the formula:
=
where x= individual datum
N= population size
EXAMPLE 1
The number 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.

POPULATION VARIANCE AND
POPULATION STANDARD DEVIATION
Variance and standard deviation are widely used
measures of dispersion of data in research. The
population variance 2 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 2.
