1: LOOKING FOR INFORMATION
The information collected in all such cases is called
“DATA”
Data is usually collected in the context of a
situation that we want to study.
Sometime data is represented graphically to give a
clear idea of what it represent.
A BARGRAPH
A display of information using bar of uniform width, their
heights begin proportional to the respective values.
2: ORGANIZING DATA
Data available to us in an unorganized form is
called raw data.
To organize the raw data in a systematic way is
called data organization.
Frequency gives the number of times that a
particular entry occurs.
3: GROUPING DATA
Grouped data is data that has been organized into
groups known as classes.
A data class is group of data which is related by
some user defined property.
Grouped data has been 'classified' and thus some
level of data analysis has taken place, which means
that the data is no longer raw.
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
A frequency distribution is a table that displays the
frequency of various outcomes in a sample.
4: CIRCLE GRAPH & PIE CHART
Data representation in a circular form is called
circle graph.
Circle graph shows the relationship between a
whole and it’s parts.
A pie chart (or a circle chart) is a circular
statistical graphic, which is divided into slices to
illustrate numerical proportion.
5: CHANCE & PROBABILITY
Probability is the measure of the likeliness that an
event will occur.
Probability is quantified as a number between 0
and 1 (where 0 indicates impossibility and 1
indicates certainty).
EQUALLY LIKELY OUTCOMES
For some experiments it is intuitive that all outcomes of
the experiment are equally likely.
for example the outcomes{1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6} from rolling a
fair die is equally likely.
since the probabilities have to sum up to one each
element has a probability of 1/6.
