What to Focus On

  • Statistics has two senses: singular and plural.
  • Data means a set of numerical facts collected for a definite purpose.
  • Raw data is the original form of data.
  • A frequency table shows the frequency of each value.
  • Tally marks help count data efficiently.
  • The fifth tally mark crosses the first four.
  • Class intervals group data into ranges.
  • Class limits are the two numbers that bound a class interval.
  • Lower class limit is the smaller number.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Statistics always means only the subject, never the data itself.

Data is any kind of information, even words or opinions.

Frequency means the value of the data itself, not how many times it appears.

Memory Tips

Data means a set of numerical facts collected with a definite object
