Summary: Statistics: It is the crucial branch of mathematics which deals with collection, organisation,
analysis, interpretation, & presentation of numerical data. Types of Data: 1) Ungrouped Data (Raw): e.g.
Data of results of a student in 10 different tests: 61, 48, 54, 49, 61, 61, 61, 49, 54, 52 . 2) Grouped Data: ⇒
Discrete Frequency Distribution: e.g. Marks: 49, 52, 54, 61, 48 & Frequency(f): 2, 1, 2, 4, 1 respectively .
⇒ Continuous Frequency Distribution: e.g. Class: (45-50), (50-55), (55-60), (60-65) & Frequency(fi): 3, 3,
0, 4 respectively . Note: For a class interval, it is inclusive for lower limit & exclusive for upper limit .
Measures of central tendency: For ungrouped data: Mean: It is the average value of all the observations. x̄ =
(x1+x2+x3+...+xn)/n = 1/n Σ_ (i=1 to n) x_i . Median: It is the middle value when observations are
arranged in increasing or decreasing order. Case 1: when n is odd . M= [(n+1)/2]th term . Case 2: when n is
even . M= average of (n/2)th term and (n/2+1)th term. Mode: It is the observation with maximum
frequency. Note - There are two series having number of observations n_1 and n_2 and their corresponding
means are x̄_1 and x̄_2. Then combined mean of the both series is : X̄ = n_1* x̄_1 + n_2* x̄_2 / n_1 + n_2,
For Discrete frequency distributions: Mean : X̄ = f_1 x_1 + f_2 x_2 + f_3 x_3 + …………..+f_n x_n / f_1
+f_2 +f_3 +..............f_n , = Σ (i=1 to n ) f_i*x_i / Σ (i=1 to n ) f_i . Relation Between Mean, Median,
Mode: Note: For a moderately skewed distribution mean, median & mode are related as : Mean - Median =
⅓ (Mean - Mode) ; ⇒ Mode = 3 Median -2 Mean (Empirical formula) . Measure of Dispersion: The four
measures of dispersion are 1) Range 2) Mean Deviation 3) Variance 4) Standard Deviation .
