Essential formulas, key terms, and important concepts for quick reference and revision.
Formulas
Percentage = (Part / Whole) × 100
This formula calculates the percentage of a part relative to the whole. Useful in financial data analysis to showcase shares of categories.
Mean = (Sum of Values) / (Number of Values)
Mean is the average of a set of values. It provides a central tendency measure, critical in descriptive statistics.
Median = Middle value of arranged data
The median divides the dataset into two equal halves. It's essential for understanding data distributions that are skewed.
Mode = Value that appears most frequently
Mode identifies the most common value in the data. It is useful in data segmentation for products or demographics.
Class Interval = Upper Limit - Lower Limit
Used to define ranges within grouped data. Class intervals help in creating histograms and frequency tables.
Frequency Density = Frequency / Class Width
This formula facilitates the creation of histograms when the class intervals are of different widths.
Cumulative Frequency = Previous Cumulative Frequency + Frequency of Current Class
Cumulative frequency shows the sum of frequencies up to a certain class, enabling the use of ogives.
Ogive = Cumulative frequency graph
An ogive visualizes cumulative frequency, useful for determining medians and percentiles.
Angle for Pie Chart = (Value / Total Value) × 360°
Calculates the angle for each segment in a pie chart. Essential for representing proportional data visually.
Coefficient of Variation = (Standard Deviation / Mean) × 100
This provides a normalized measure of dispersion relative to the mean, useful for comparing variability across datasets.
Equations
Bar Diagram: Height of Bar = Value of Category
In a bar diagram, the height represents the value of each category, facilitating easy comparison of quantitative data.
Histogram: Area = Frequency × Class Width
For histograms, the area of each rectangle corresponds to frequency, essential for representing continuous data accurately.
Frequency Polygon: Points = Midpoints of Class Intervals vs. Frequencies
This equation represents data points that are connected to form a polygon, visualizing frequency distributions.
Pie Chart: Total Angle = 360°
Each segment of a pie chart subtends an angle derived from the proportionate value relative to the total.
Multiple Bar Diagram: Grouped Data Comparison = (Categories vs. Values)
Used to compare multiple related categories through grouped bars, enhancing data comparison.
Component Bar Diagram: Value = Total - Not Included Components
Shows parts of a whole through segments in a bar, useful in illustrating different components of categories.
Arithmetic Line Graph: Y-coordinate = Value at Time X
Plotting time series data against values allows for visual trend identification over time.
Comparative Analysis: Difference = Value 1 - Value 2
Finding the difference between values aids in understanding growth or decline visually or quantitatively.
Exponential Growth Equation: P(t) = P0 * e^(rt)
Useful in understanding data patterns exhibiting exponential growth over time, common in economics.
Standard Deviation = √((Σ(X - Mean)²) / N)
Standard deviation measures the extent of deviation in a dataset, critical for understanding volatility.
