Period: 2nd

School: Shree Okhreni Secondary School

Objective: Participants will learn how to use essential statistical functions in Excel for data analysis and summarization.

Materials Needed:

Computers with Excel installed Projector or screen for demonstration Sample datasets for practice exercises Agenda:

Introduction (5 minutes):

Briefly introduce the importance of statistical functions in Excel for data analysis. Emphasize that these functions are fundamental tools for summarizing and understanding numerical data. Overview of Data (5 minutes):

Discuss the importance of understanding the dataset before applying statistical functions. Introduce a sample dataset or use a pre-prepared dataset to work with during the session. 1. SUM Function (8 minutes):

Explain the purpose of the SUM function for adding up numerical values. Demonstrate how to use the SUM function on a set of numbers. Show how to use AutoSum for quick calculations. Practice Exercise - SUM (5 minutes):

Participants will practice using the SUM function on a provided set of numbers. 2. AVERAGE Function (8 minutes):

Explain the importance of finding the average in data analysis. Demonstrate how to use the AVERAGE function on a set of numbers. Discuss variations like AVERAGEIF for conditional averaging. Practice Exercise - AVERAGE (5 minutes):

Participants will practice finding the average using a different set of numbers. 3. MIN and MAX Functions (8 minutes):

Explain the significance of identifying the minimum and maximum values in a dataset. Demonstrate how to use the MIN and MAX functions. Discuss scenarios where these functions are useful. Practice Exercise - MIN and MAX (5 minutes):

Participants will practice finding the minimum and maximum values in a dataset. 4. PERCENTAGE Calculation (8 minutes):

Discuss scenarios where percentages are useful in data analysis. Demonstrate how to perform percentage calculations using basic examples. Show the application of the percentage format. Practice Exercise - Percentage Calculation (5 minutes):

Participants will practice calculating percentages based on given scenarios. 5. COUNT Function (8 minutes):

Explain the COUNT function for counting cells with numerical values. Introduce COUNTA for counting non-empty cells. Demonstrate COUNTIF for counting cells based on a specific condition. Practice Exercise - COUNT (5 minutes):

Participants will practice using COUNT functions on different sets of data. Q&A and Recap (5 minutes):

Open the floor for questions and address any concerns or difficulties participants may have encountered. Recap the key points covered in the session. Conclusion:

Encourage participants to explore and apply these functions to their own datasets. Provide additional resources or tutorials for continued learning.
