Probability tree diagrams

In this article we shall explore how to present conditional probabilities on the tree diagrams. Probability questions can be answered by using graphical representations such as Venn diagrams and tree diagrams. Drawing tree diagrams...

Bar Charts

Bar Chart:A bar chart or bar graph is a type of column chart where each data value is represented using rectangular bars with lengths proportional to the values that they represent. The bars in...

Conditional probability 0

Conditional probability

This article explores solving problems using conditional probability. An event B may depend on event A that has already occurred. Consider the following Venn diagram. [IMAGE] The event A has already happened, so we’re...

Probability formulae

In this article we shall explore how to use probability formulae to solve probability problems. Deriving probability formulae We can use the Venn diagram to derive the probability formulae [IMAGE] Let P(A) = a,...

Skewness 0

Skewness

In this article we shall explore how to compare data sets, deciding which measures of spread and location to use when describing data, and interpreting measures in the context of the question. We use...

Histograms 0

Histograms

In this article we shall look at representing data in a histogram. Continuous data can be represented on a histogram. We use group frequency distribution tables to summarise the data before constructing histograms. Histograms...

Box plots

In this article we shall explore how to use box plots to represent data. A box plot can be drawn to represent important features of the data. A box plot shows the quartiles, maximum...
