Frequency polygons

A Frequency polygon is a graph made by joining the midpoints of the tops of a bar chart with straight lines.

A quicker way to draw frequency polygons is to plot the frequency against midpoints of each group.

19 of 110

Modal Class Intervals

The modal class (or modal group) has the highest frequency.

To estimate a mean from a grouped frequency table, add together the products of class midpoints and their frequencies and divide by the total frequency.

If the total frequency in a grouped freqency table is         , then the median lies in the group containing the                      th item of data.

Scatter Graphs

Bivariate data is data that has two variables. Points can be placed in a scatter graph to see if there is a correlation between them.

Positive correlation - When points lie close to an upwards facing line

Negative correlation - When points lie close to a downwards facing line.

No correlation - Points create no discernable line.

21 of 110

Line Of Best Fit

A line of best fit is the line that passes as close as possible to the points on a scatter graph.

Using a line of best fit to predict data values within the range of data is called interpolation and is usually reasonably accurate.

Using a line of best fit to predict data values outside the range of data is called extrapolation and may not be accurate.

Individual points which are outside the overall pattern of a scatter graph are called outliers. They can be removed from a data set provided a reason for their removal is given.

Unit Ratios

You can compare ratios by writing them as unit ratios. In a unit ratio, one of the numbers is 1. The other number may or may not be a whole number.

To share a quantity in a given ratio you could work out what fraction of the total amount each person recieves and then multiply that fraction by the total amount.

27 of 110

Proportion

When two quantities are in direct proportion, as one is multiplied by a number       , so is the other. Their ratio also stays the same as they increase or decrease.

Transformations

54 of 110

Transformations

There are four main types of transformations: translation, rotation, reflection and dilation. These transformations fall into two categories: rigid transformations that do not change the shape or size of the preimage and non-rigid transformations that change the size but not the shape of the preimage.

  • Sample Space Diagrams
  • Tree Diagrams
  • Conditional Probability
65 of 110

Sample space diagrams

In probability theory, the sample space of an experiment or random trial is the set of all possible outcomes or results of that experiment. A sample space is usually denoted using set notation, and the possible ordered outcomes are listed as elements in the set.

66 of 110

Tree Diagrams

In probability theory, a tree diagram may be used to represent a probability space. Tree diagrams may represent a series of independent events or conditional probabilities. Each node on the diagram represents an event and is associated with the probability of that event.

67 of 110

Conditional Probability

Conditional probability is the probability of one event occurring with some relationship to one or more other events. For example: Event A is that it is raining outside, and it has a 0.3 (30%) chance of raining today. Event B is that you will need to go outside, and that has a probability of 0.5 (50%).

  • Compound Interest
  • Compound Measures
  • Density
69 of 110

Compound Interest

Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on interest. It is the result of reinvesting interest, rather than paying it out, so that interest in the next period is then earned on the principal sum plus previously accumulated interest.

70 of 110

Compound Measures

Compound Measures

A Compound measurement is a measurement that uses more than one quantity.

Examples include density measurements, speed measurements and rates of pay.

Density

Density is calculated by mass ÷ volume.  So density is therefore written as mass per volume.

The most common units used to measure density are kg/m3

The density of pure water is always 1000kgm-3. So anything with a lower density will float in water.

Speed

Speed is measured using the formula distance ÷ time. So this will therefore be written as distance per time.

71 of 110

Density

Density is a measure of mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume. An object made from a comparatively dense material (such as iron) will have less volume than an object of equal mass made from some less dense substance (such as water).

Sample Sizes

Sample size measures the number of individual samples measured or observations used in a survey or experiment. For example, if you test 100 samples of soil for evidence of acid rain, your sample size is 100. If an online survey returned 30,500 completed questionnaires, your sample size is 30,500.

83 of 110

Stratified Samples

Stratified sampling refers to a type of sampling method . With stratified sampling, the researcher divides the population into separate groups, called strata. Then, a probability sample (often a simple random sample ) is drawn from each group.

84 of 110

Cumulative Frequency

Cumulative frequency analysis is the analysis of the frequency of occurrence of values of a phenomenon less than a reference value. The phenomenon may be time- or space-dependent. Cumulative frequency is also called frequency of non-exceedance.

Box Plots

In descriptive statistics, a box plot or boxplot is a method for graphically depicting groups of numerical data through their quartiles.

86 of 110

Histograms

A histogram is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data. It is an estimate of the probability distribution of a continuous variable.

It differs from a bar graph, in the sense that a bar graph relates two variables, but a histogram relates only one.

Functions

In mathematics, a function is a relation between sets that associates to every element of a first set exactly one element of the second set. Typical examples are functions from integers to integers or from the real numbers to real numbers.

It is commonly written as either f(x) or g(x) or both.

100 of 110

Inverse Functions

In mathematics, an inverse function (or anti-function) is a function that "reverses" another function: if the function f applied to an input x gives a result of y, then applying its inverse function g to y gives the result x, and vice versa, i.e., f(x) = y if and only if g(y) = x.

Vectors

A vector is an object that has both a magnitude and a direction. Geometrically, we can picture a vector as a directed line segment, whose length is the magnitude of the vector and with an arrow indicating the direction. The direction of the vector is from its tail to its head.

104 of 110

Magnitude

The magnitude of a vector →PQ is the distance between the initial point P and the end point Q . In symbols the magnitude of →PQ is written as | →PQ | . If the coordinates of the initial point and the end point of a vector is given, the Distance Formula can be used to find its magnitude.
