1. Mean, Median and Mode (with Standard Deviation)
Mean:
Mean is the arithmetic average of a set of observations.
It is rigidly defined and based on all observations.
Median:
Median is the middle value when data are arranged in ascending or descending order.
It divides the data into two equal parts.
Mode:
Mode is the value which occurs most frequently in the data.
It is useful in finding the most common item.
Standard Deviation:
Standard deviation measures the dispersion of data from the mean.
It shows the consistency and variability of data.
2. Karl Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation
Karl Pearson’s coefficient measures the degree and direction of linear relationship between two variables.
Properties:
-
-
: perfect positive correlation
-
: perfect negative correlation
-
: no correlation
It is widely used in statistics and economics.
3. Matrices and Solution of Equations
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns.
Solution of simultaneous equations using matrices:
Given
Then
Matrices make solving linear equations easy and systematic.
