What to Focus On

  • Statistics has both singular and plural meanings.
  • Data means a set of collected numerical facts.
  • Statistics deals with collecting, organising, analysing, and interpreting data.
  • A variable changes from one individual to another.
  • Continuous variables can take any value in a range.
  • Discrete variables cannot take every value in a range.
  • Raw data is the original data.
  • Arrayed data is arranged in ascending or descending order.
  • Sorting data makes patterns easier to see.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Inclusive class intervals and exclusive class intervals mean the same thing.

The value 40 in the class interval 40-50 belongs to 30-40 because 40 is the upper limit of the previous class.

Inclusive class intervals can be used directly for histogram and frequency polygon without adjustment.
