Statistics Class 10 Mathematics Concept notes and Formula Sheet

 

Concepts:

1. Introduction to Statistics:

   • Statistics is the branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of numerical data.
   • It helps in understanding and analyzing trends, patterns, and relationships within the data.

2. Types of Data:

   • Primary Data: Data collected firsthand by the researcher.
   • Secondary Data: Data collected from existing sources like books, articles, etc.
   • Grouped Data: Data organized into groups or intervals.
   • Ungrouped Data: Raw data not categorized into groups or intervals.

3. Frequency Distribution:

   • A frequency distribution is a table that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample.
   • Class Interval: The range of values divided into intervals in a frequency distribution.
   • Class Mark: The midpoint of a class interval, calculated as: $$\text{Class Mark} = \frac{\text{Upper Limit} + \text{Lower Limit}}{2}$$

4. Measures of Central Tendency:

   • Mean (Arithmetic Mean): The average of all data points.

     • For ungrouped data: $$\text{Mean} (\overline{x}) = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}$$ where $x_i$ are the data points and $n$ is the number of data points.
     • For grouped data: $$\text{Mean} (\overline{x}) = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$$ where $f_i$ is the frequency of the class interval and $x_i$ is the class mark.

   • Median: The middle value in the ordered data set.

     • For ungrouped data:
       • Arrange data in ascending order.
       • If $n$ (total number of data points) is odd, the median is the middle value.
       • If $n$ is even, the median is the average of the two middle values.
     • For grouped data: $$\text{Median} = l + \left(\frac{\frac{n}{2} - F}{f}\right) \times h$$ where:
       • $l$ = lower boundary of the median class
       • $n$ = total number of data points
       • $F$ = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class
       • $f$ = frequency of the median class
       • $h$ = class interval size

   • Mode: The value that appears most frequently in the data set.

     • For ungrouped data: Identify the value with the highest frequency.
     • For grouped data: $$\text{Mode} = l + \left(\frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2}\right) \times h$$ where:
       • $l$ = lower boundary of the modal class
       • $f_1$ = frequency of the modal class
       • $f_0$ = frequency of the class preceding the modal class
       • $f_2$ = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
       • $h$ = class interval size

5. Cumulative Frequency:

   • Cumulative Frequency (CF): The sum of the frequencies up to a certain class interval.
   • Less than CF: Accumulation of frequencies from the beginning up to the upper boundary of a class.
   • More than CF: Accumulation of frequencies from the end down to the lower boundary of a class.

6. Graphical Representation:

   • Histogram: A bar graph representing the frequency distribution of grouped data.
   • Frequency Polygon: A line graph that represents the frequencies of the classes.
   • Ogive (Cumulative Frequency Curve): A curve representing cumulative frequency distribution.

7. Empirical Relationship:

   • The empirical relationship among the mean, median, and mode is: $$\text{Mode} = 3 \times \text{Median} - 2 \times \text{Mean}$$

8. Quartiles, Deciles, and Percentiles:

   • Quartiles: Values dividing the data into four equal parts.
   • Deciles: Values dividing the data into ten equal parts.
   • Percentiles: Values dividing the data into one hundred equal parts.

Formula Sheet:

1. Mean (Ungrouped Data):

   $$\overline{x} = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}$$

2. Mean (Grouped Data):

   $$\overline{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$$

3. Median (Grouped Data):

   $$\text{Median} = l + \left(\frac{\frac{n}{2} - F}{f}\right) \times h$$

4. Mode (Grouped Data):

   $$\text{Mode} = l + \left(\frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2}\right) \times h$$

5. Empirical Relationship:

   $$\text{Mode} = 3 \times \text{Median} - 2 \times \text{Mean}$$

6. Class Mark:

   $$$$Class Mark=Upper Limit+Lower Limit2\text{Class Mark} = \frac{\text{Upper Limit} + \text{Lower Limit}}{2}
