Study Notes
Data Handling
- Data handling involves the collection, organization, and interpretation of data for analysis.
- Common methods include tally charts, bar graphs, and pie charts to visually represent data.
- Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency used to summarize data.
- The range of data indicates the difference between the highest and lowest values.
Square and Square Roots
- A square of a number is the result of multiplying the number by itself (e.g., (3^2 = 9)).
- Square roots find the original number that was squared (e.g., (\sqrt{9} = 3)).
- Perfect squares are numbers that have whole number square roots (e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16).
- The square of a negative number is also positive (e.g., ((-2)^2 = 4)).
Cube and Cube Roots
- A cube of a number is obtained by multiplying the number by itself twice (e.g., (2^3 = 8)).
- Cube roots determine the original number that has been cubed (e.g., (\sqrt[3]{27} = 3)).
- Perfect cubes are numbers that can be expressed as (n^3) where (n) is an integer (e.g., 1, 8, 27, 64).
Comparing Quantities
- Comparing quantities involves evaluating values to find differences, ratios, or percentages.
- Percentages express a number as a fraction of 100, often used for comparisons.
- Ratios compare two quantities, indicating how many times one value contains another.
- Proportions state that two ratios are equal, helping solve problems involving relationships between quantities.
