@ Average
‘Average’ is a word which in general usc is taken to mean
somewhere in the middle. For example, a woman may describe
herself as being of average height. A student may think he or
she is of average ability in maths. Mathematics is more exact
and uses three principal methods to measure average.
@ The mode is the value occurring the most often,
© The median is the middle value when all the data is arranged
in order of size.
@ The mean is found by adding together all the values of the
data and then dividing that total by dhe number of data values.
@ Spread
tis often useful to know how spread out the data is. It is
possible for two sets of data to have the same mean and median
but very different spreads.
‘The simplest measure of spread is the range. The range is
simply the difference between the largest and smallest values in
the data,
Another measure of spread is known as the inter-quartile
range. This is covered in more detail in Chapter 39.
Worked examples a) i) Find the mean, median and mode of the data listed
below.

Arranging all the data in order and then picking out the
middle number gives the median:
0,0,1,1,1,1,1,(2) 2,2,2,3,4,5,5
The mode is the number which appeared most often.
Therefore the mode is 1.
ii) Calculate the range of the data.

© Types of correlation
There are several types of correlation, depending on the
arrangement of the points plotted on the scatter diagram. 38
A strong positive correlation
between the variables x and y.
The points lie very close to the line of
best fit,
Asx increases, so does y.

A strong negative correlation.
‘The points lie close around the

@ Histograms
A histogram displays the frequency of either continuous or grouped
discrete data in the form of bars. There are several important
features of a histogram which distinguish it from a bar chart.
© The bars are joined together.
@ The bars can be of varying width.
© The frequency of the data is represented by the urea of the
bar and not the height (though in the case of bars of equal
width, the area is directly proportional to the height of
the bar and so the height is usually used as the measure of
frequency). Collecting and displaying data
