• It is frequently very large; sometimes infinite.
• Example:

- Total enrollee of SJBCS
SAMPLE
• is the subset or a part of a set of data being studied.
• is a set of data drawn from the population.
• it is potentially very large, but less than the population.
• Example:
- 5 million out of 61 million Filipino voters

SJBCS
Examples:
1. Students of 10-Ezekiel as the population – The mean/average grade in
Mathematics of the students in 10-Ezekiel (Parameter)
2. Male students 10 – Ezekiel as the sample – The mean/average grade in
Mathematics of the male students in 10-Ezekiel (Statistic)
DATA
• are the observed values of a variable.
• It can either come in the form of :
- numbers - age, height and weight
- categories – civil status, addresses , names
Examples: Examples:
- number of students in class - Student’s weight

LEVEL OF
MEASUREMENT
/SCALES
• NOMINAL SCALE
• ORDINAL SCALE
• I N T E R VA L S C A L E
• R AT I O S C A L E
NOMINAL SCALES
- are measures of identity.
- classify data according to categories whereby no
ranking of data is possible.
- Examples:
- gender like female and male
- answers like yes/no
- religion like Muslims and Christians
- dwelling places like Urban or Rural.
ORDINAL SCALES
- are measurements like ranking of individuals or
objects.
- classify data according to categories that can be
ranked.
- Example:
- Grade level
- Military Officers
- Honor roll
- Likert scale: strongly agree, agree, disagree, no
opinion.
INTERVAL SCALES
- reflect differences of items.
- ranks data and exact differences between measures
exist. However, there is no true zero point.
Example:
- I.Q
- temperature
- blood pressures
RATIO SCALES
- is the highest type of scales.
- Ex.
- Student’s age, height, weight and grades
