Key Topics to Revise

1

Mean (Arithmetic Mean)

  • Mean is the most commonly used measure of central tendency
  • It is calculated by dividing the sum of all observations by the number of observations
  • Mean can be calculated for both ungrouped and grouped data
2

Median

  • Median is the middle value when data is arranged in ascending or descending order
  • It divides the data into two equal halves
  • Median is not affected by extreme values
3

Mode

  • Mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data
  • A dataset can have no mode, one mode, or multiple modes
  • Mode can be determined from frequency distribution or histogram
4

Quartiles and Graphical Methods

  • Quartiles divide data into four equal parts
  • Q₁ (Lower Quartile) = 25th percentile, Q₂ (Median) = 50th percentile, Q₃ (Upper Quartile) = 75th percentile
  • Inter-quartile Range (IQR) = Q₃ - Q₁
