Statistical Probability of Passing or Not


        Statistics make research, surveys and data analysis easier and way more understandable. Imagine research without statistics, raw data being analysed manually and piece by piece, biased judgement for the error and significance of each value and the wasted effort and time that will be spent. The importance of statistics may be neglected at times but its usefulness is evident, although sometimes, unnoticed.
            Through Math 1, I was able to appreciate statistics in a deeper sense. As the members of the group ‘Statistics’, we were able to review some statistical lessons to the class through different activities such as games, film viewing and debate. For the games, we conducted an outdoor activity in which the class was divided into their respective groups and had a race to every station to answer several questions related to statistics. As for the film-viewing, the movie was made and produced by our group in which each of us was able to participate. My part in the story was exciting since it would be my first time to act in front of a camera and that it is out from my usual character. I was Serena and I was the antagonist in the story, a killer, more specifically. The filming was really fun and even with the busy schedule of each member, we were able to finish it early although the editing part became the problem because of its long rendering time. The debate has the topic of whether the statistical poll is reliable or not. At the end, the opposition won the judgment of the audience.

            Through these series of activities, not only the importance of statistics became clear to me. But also the friendship, cooperation, understanding and patience for each and everyone became clear that it is very important and the key for the successful presentation and the possible way to pass the subject, in general.
