Data Handling
Data handling involves organising, presenting, and analysing data using tools like frequency tables, graphs, and measures like mean, median,
Core concept
A frequency table organises data by showing how often each value or category occurs, making large datasets easier to understand.
How it works
The mean (average) is found by adding all values and dividing by the count, while the median is the middle value when data is ordered.
Why it matters
The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset, useful for understanding common occurrences.
Key detail
These statistical measures and tools help us summarise, interpret, and draw conclusions from data in various real-life contexts.
