Summary: The book covers the relevant topics in the new DepEd Statistics and Probability curriculum for Senior High School, as well as some additional topics for enrichment. While the current K-12 curriculum includes some statistics in grades 1-8 as well as in grade 10, the authors are aware that the depth and preparation of students on these topics may vary. It is for this reason that we have included a preliminary chapter which reviews the basic concepts of probability and counting techniques. Then the topics beginning with random variables and ending with regression and correlation. An article in Forbes magazine last 2016 reports that most of the top jobs for 2016 involves statistics. Far from being just a statement about employment, this serves to emphasize the importance of statistics in the modern world. According to computer giant IBM, 2.5 exabytes (or 2.5 billion gigabytes) of data were generated every day in 2012. It is of practical importance for every Filipino to know how to collect, process, analyze, understand, and interpret all these data which are available to us. The main medium that allows us to these is statistics. However, it is a sad reality that many Filipinos nowadays are not statistically literate. This is especially evident in articles or comments that have come out recently in the media or on the Internet. Many comments in prominent web sites lash out at the credibility of surveys done by reputable firms simply because of the small sample size. Blogs and web sites conduct surveys or post statistical results which are either just plainly biased or lacking scientific merit. Even certain academics that come out in the media make statements based on inappropriate and misused statistical methods. These problems are symptoms of most Filipinos' lack of knowledge and understanding of statistics.
