Statistics and Probability

Making Sense of Data

Statistics helps us collect, organize, and interpret data. Probability predicts how likely events are to happen.

Core Concepts

  • Mean, Median, Mode: Ways to measure the "center" or "typical" value of a data set.
  • Range: The difference between the highest and lowest values.
  • Probability: The chance that an event occurs, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

Uses in the Real World

  • Opinion polls and surveys.
  • Predicting weather.
  • Calculating risks and chances in games or investments.

Visualizing Data

  • Bar graphs, histograms, and pie charts make data easier to understand.

Examples

  • Rolling a die gives a probability of \( \frac{1}{6} \) for each number.

  • Calculating the average score from a set of test results.

In a Nutshell

Statistics and probability help us understand data and predict future outcomes.
