COMMENT

Mean,mode and median are three measures of central tendency which indicates the

data seems to cluster. However, the values of these measures may differ greatly.

Thus , it is necessary to choose that reflects the central value of the data. We
use statistics such as the mean, median and mode to obtain information about

a population from our sample set of observed values.

Mean : Mean is considered suitable measure of central tendency for representing a

set of data whose values are quite evenly distributed, meaning there is no extreme

value in the set of data. The mean (or average) of a set of data values is the sum of

all of the data values divided by the number of data values. Therefore, the mean is

chosen.

Median : Median is used when there are extreme values because median eliminates

the effects of extreme values in a set of data. The median of a set of data values is

the middle value of the data set when it has been arranged in ascending order. That

is, from the smallest value to the highest value.Therefore, the median is not chosen.

Mode : Mode is only used to represent a set of data containing a large number of

values which take only some specific values and many repeated values.

The mode of a set of data values is the value(s) that occurs most often.
Mode is confusing when the data has more than one mode. Therefore, mode is not

chosen.

Conclusion

The pie chart above shows the percentage of 50 trainees,condition in

Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Temenggung Ibrahim. The pie chart has been
divided into 4 groups. They are underweight,normal,overweight and obese

percentage of trainees.

It’s a pleasant surprise to know that most of the girls in IPG Kampus

Temenggung Ibrahim are in normal condition which is 54% of them. While 44% of

the 50 girls are underweight. And it is only 2% of them are overweight,and 0% are in

obese condition.

This is quite encouraging and everyone should be proud that girls in IPG

KTI are concerned and take a good care on their body condition. On the whole, it is

encouraging to see teacher trainee students aware about their body condition.

Through doing this project I have learnt that obesity has became a major

health problem among us. I also know that most of the students in my research area

which is IPG KTI, Johore Bahru are normal. Therefore, this is good condition

because obesity can lead to various health problems such as diabetes, heart

diseases and stroke.

A person’s weight is a result of many factors. These factors include

environment, family history and genetics, metabolism [the way your body changes

food and oxygen into energy], behaviour or habits, and other factors.

Certain things, like family history, cannot be changed. However, other

things like a person’s lifestyle habits can be changed. We can help prevent or treat

overweight and obesity if we :

• Follow a healthful diet, while keeping our calorie needs in mind

• Are physically active

 • Limit the time we spend being physically inactive

• Proper medical check-up and advises from doctors

• Follow food pyramid and eat according it

Weight loss medicines and surgery also are options for some people who

need to lose weight if lifestyle changes do not work.

We will distribute pamphlets, flyers or brochures relating the negative effect

of obesity. This would increase the number of teacher trainee students who know all

the effect of obesity. This also will alert them about the problems faced obese. Thus,

they would start practicing a healthy lifestyle and also encourage other in my family

and also my friends to lead a healthy life.

Reflection

I am Nanthini A/P Kanapathy from Unit of Mathematics / English / Tamil,

(PPISMP 3) would like to share my experiences with my group members. This
assignment which was given by Madam Repiah binti Singah and the lesson we have
learned from this assignment is really useful and also valuable for me in the future
undertakings as a Mathematics teacher.
 First and foremost, I would like to take this wonderful opportunity to wish a lot
of thanks from my bottom of heart to my lecturer. I find this assignment challenging
for me but I tried and put my full effort to complete it. I have learnt many things
directly and indirectly throughout this mathematics coursework. I gained much extra
knowledge and it was a great fun of doing such a coursework as it involves
something regarding our daily life and statistics.

I have learnt a lot of things. Besides that, I gained some knowledge on how to
do a survey and collect data easily. During this task I have catch-up some skills
which is plot graph using Excel. I have realized that time management is really
important in doing group work and moreover as a future teacher I must have this
kind of attitudes to be a role-model to my students in the future. Moral values such
as self-discipline and cooperation among group members are most important and we
have done it very well in a group of 4 members.

From this assignment I have discovered my own strengths which is I’m a fast
learner. Before conduct this survey I’m not very good in plotting graph using Excel.
After my friend teaches me once I can plot graph by my own in a creative way. I
collect the data easily by using our own tally chart and did the survey. It enables me
to represent data using suitable visual representations. I find myself very energetic
and interesting taking up challenge.

Although I have some strength I also have some weakness in myself. I’m slow
in using computer. In the part of doing this assignment plotting graph in GSP is
difficult for me. I can improve myself in ICT field by build a small group discussion or
taking some ICT course and seminar.

From this, I have learned to organize information clearly and neatly by using
the suitable representations and provide a reason for each choice Next, I organized
the data using table and make a visual representation. Then, I also summarized a
report and we did some predictions with an exact explanation for the variables based
on the collected data.

After that we choose the most suitable visual reprehensive to represent the
data collected. The most suitable visual reprehensive for this kind of data are bar
graph and pie chart. It is important to choose perfect reprehensive because it can
affect the result or output of the data. I learnt the characteristics of the graph and the
method to choose the suitable graph.

This assignment teaches us what the co-operation is actually. We learned how

be co-operative in our group. And the co-operation also can give a nice relationship
between our group members. Besides that, this assignment teaches us the skills of
collection, analysis, interpretation or explanation, and presentation of data.

In the future, I can teach my friends and juniors on how to plot a graph using
Excel. As a future mathematics teacher I can share my knowledge about statistics
with my colleagues. I can teach students on how to choose a suitable graph to
represent the data.

Last but not least, I would like to show my gratitude to everyone who supports
me economically. I would like to thank my friends who really shares information with
us without showing any depression. I had put my full effort and cooperate with each
other to complete the assignment as we wished. “Best cooperation is the key to
success”.

Thank You.

You’re faithfully,

Nanthini A/P Kanapathy
