    Study Notes

    Absolute Value

    • The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0 on the number line.
    • |a| = 5 means a can be either 5 or -5.
    • |­7| = 7 because the distance from 0 to -7 is 7.
    • |3| + |­3| = 6 because the distance from 0 to 3 is 3 and the distance from 0 to -3 is 3.

    Order of Operations

    • Follow the order of operations to evaluate expressions: parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction.
    • Examples:
      • 13 + 6 ÷ 2 = 15
      • 2 × 6 – 4 ÷ 2 = 10
      • (3 ­1) + 4 ÷ 2 = 7

    Exponents

    • An exponent is a small number that tells how many times to multiply a number by itself.
    • Examples:
      • 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 3^5
      • 5 × 5 × 5 = 5^3
      • 6 × 6 = 6^2

    Solving Algebraic Equations

    • To solve an algebraic equation, isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
    • Examples:
      • X = 1+1+1 => X = 3
      • X + 3 = 12 => X = 12 – 3 => X = 9
      • 4 X = 16 => X = 16 ÷ 4 => X = 4

    Histograms

    • A histogram is a graph that shows the distribution of a set of data.
    • Characteristics of a histogram:
      • Title
      • Two axes (horizontal and vertical)
      • Labels for each axis
      • Shows numerical data
      • Bars represent data
      • No gaps between bars

    Median and Quartiles

    • The median is the middle value of a set of values when they are arranged in order.
    • The median is the average of the two middle values if the number of values is even.
    • The lower quartile (Q1) is the middle value of the lower half of the set of values.
    • The upper quartile (Q2) is the middle value of the upper half of the set of values.

    Balance of Data Sets

    • The balance point of a data set is a way to find the average of the data.
    • Examples:
      • Find the balance point of the data set 13, 14, 14, 9, 10, 12, 12
      • The balance point is 12 because the sum of the values above 12 equals the sum of the values below 12.

    Interpreting Arithmetic Mean

    • The mean is one measure of central tendency.
    • The mean can be calculated as the balance point or as the fair share.
    • Examples:
      • Calculate the mean of the data set 3, 4, 4, 9 using the balance point method.
      • Calculate the mean of the data set 7, 7, 10, 9, 12 using the fair share method.

    Missing Value in a Data Set

    • The missing value in a data set can be found using the formula: Missing value = [The number of values X The mean] – [The sum of given values].
    • Examples:
      • Find the value of x in the data set 11, 20, x, 7 with a mean of 14.
      • Find the value of x in the data set 8, 6, x, 5 with a mean of 5.
