COLLECTING DATA ON TWO VARIABLES USING ANY SOURCE
I. Learning Competency with Code
Collecting Data on Two Variables Using Any Source (M4SP-IVg-1.4)
II. Background Information for Learners
This Learning Activity Sheet for the week deals with data collection. Data
are collected pieces of information. Data gathering helps us to collect
information in an organized manner. When collecting data, whether you collect
that data from the internet or from talking to people, we need to keep track of
that data. Using a frequency table helps us to record, clarify and easily find what
we are looking for our data. In a tally table, tally marks ( l ) are used to record
data, while in a frequency table, numbers are used instead of tally marks.
To make a frequency table:
a. Arrange the data in order
b. Make a tally
c. Count the tallies. Write the frequencies.
d. Total all the frequencies.
One of the first steps we follow after gathering data is to arrange the
numbers in ascending or descending order. In this way, we can easily see the
highest and lowest values.

Example 1:
Mrs. Delgado administered a summative test in Mathematics in her
Grade 4 – Sapphire class. The scores are shown below.
15 17 20 16 19
18 17 15 17 20
17 18 18 18 20
18 20 19 19 19
Look at the scores in the box.
1. What is the information about?
2. What do numbers inside the box represent?
3. Do you have an idea how to organize the given information?
4. Can you easily tell how many pupils got a score of 15? 16? Why?
5. What is the highest score?
6. The next score?
7. The lowest score?
8. Which score has the most number of pupils who got it?
9. How many pupils took the test?
Now, let us collect the data and organize it in a tally table.
Scores in Achievement Test in Mathematics 4
Score Tally Total
20 IIII 4
19 IIII 4
18 IIII 5
17 IIII 4
16 I 1
15 II 2
Total 20
Now, looking at the table you can easily see the number of pupils who got 20.
We can get the data from the tally chart and present in a table.
Score Number of pupils who got the score
20 4

1. What is the information about?
The information / data is all about the scores of pupils in a summative
test in Mathematics administered by Mrs. Delgado.
2. What do numbers inside the box represent?
The numbers inside the box represent the scores of every pupil.
3. Can you easily tell how many pupils got a score of 15? 16? Why?
Yes, because the scores were arranged in the tally table in a descending
order.
4. What is the highest score?
The highest score is 20.
5. The next score?
Next score is 19.
6. The lowest score?
The lowest score is 15.
7. Which score has the most number of pupils who got it?
The score that the most number of pupils got is 18.
8. How many pupils took the test?
There are 20 pupils who took the test.
Example 2:
Franz has a part-time job at the Body Fit Gym. His boss Josaiah wants to know
the ages of the teenagers in the center’s taekwondo class. Franz records the
ages of everyone in the class. Below are the ages of the teenagers.
Ages of students in the taekwondo class
14 15 18 16 13 15 16 17 16
15 18 17 14 16 13 16 17 19
a. How many teenagers are attending the taekwondo class?
b. What is the age of the oldest member of the taekwondo class?
c. What is the age of the youngest member of the taekwondo class?
d. How many teenagers belong to ages 13 to 15?
e. How many students have an age greater than 15?

First, let us make a tally table.

19 I 1
18 II 2
17 III 3
16 IIII 5
15 III 3
14 II 2
13 II 2
TOTAL 18
a. How many teenagers are attending the taekwondo class?
There are 18 teenagers attending in the taekwondo class.
b. What is the age of the oldest member of the taekwondo class?
The age of the oldest member of the taekwondo class is 19 years old.
c. What is the age of the youngest member of the taekwondo class?
The age of the youngest member is 13.
d. How many teenagers belong to ages 13 to 15?
There are 7 teenagers who belong to ages to 15.
e. How many students have an age greater than 15?
Using the table above, the ages greater than 15 include students with
ages 16 to 19 with 5, 3, 2 and 1 number of students respectively. So, we
have 11 students with age greater than 15.
