1. Statistical Questions and Statistical Statements

  • A statistical question can be answered by collecting data.
  • A statistical statement is a claim or summary expressed using numerical values, proportions, probabilities, or predictions.
  • Not every question has one fixed answer; some questions need data because values can vary.

2. Average and Arithmetic Mean

  • Average is a representative number found by adding values and dividing by the number of values.
  • Average is also called arithmetic mean or mean.
  • Mean helps compare groups fairly when totals alone are not enough.

3. Mean in Data with Even Count and with Missing Values

  • When the number of values is even, the median is found by taking the average of the two middle numbers.
  • A match not played, marked as —, is excluded from the count of matches.

4. Median, Outliers, and Why Median Can Be Better

  • Outliers can pull the mean away from the centre of the data.
  • The median is often a better representative value when data has an outlier.
