What to Focus On

  • Data is a collection of facts or numbers.
  • Raw data is unorganized information collected initially.
  • Data must be organized to make it useful.
  • Arranging data helps in analysis.
  • Ascending order: from smallest to largest.
  • Descending order: from largest to smallest.
  • Frequency is the number of times a data value occurs.
  • Tally marks help in counting frequencies quickly.
  • One group of five tally marks is written as four vertical lines with a diagonal line across them.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The mean is always one of the actual data values.

Median is the number that appears most frequently.

You don't need to arrange data in order before finding the median.
