    Study Notes

    Algebra

    • Variables are used in equations to represent unknown numbers.

    Statistics

    • Central tendency is a measure that describes the typical value of a dataset. The most common measure of central tendency is the mean.
    • Standard deviation measures the spread or variability of a dataset.
    • A larger standard deviation indicates a dataset with greater variability, meaning the data points are more spread out from the mean.
    • Outliers can significantly affect the mean.
    • The median is a robust measure of central tendency, meaning it is less affected by outliers than the mean.
    • Data analysis involves identifying patterns within data.
    • Regression analysis estimates relationships among variables.
    • Hypothesis testing determines if there is enough evidence to reject a null hypothesis.
    • Normal distribution is symmetrical and bell-shaped.

    Geometry

    • Geometry focuses on the properties of shapes and their relationships.
    • Transformations such as translations, rotations, and reflections are used to manipulate shapes and their positions.

    Calculus

    • Calculus is used to study the rates of change of functions.

    Key Terms

    • Variables are symbols that represent unknown numbers in equations.
    • Mean is the average of a dataset.
    • Standard deviation is a measure of the spread of data points around the mean.
    • Median is the middle value in a sorted dataset.
    • Outliers are data points that are significantly different from other values in the dataset.
    • Data analysis involves identifying patterns in data.
    • Regression analysis is a statistical method used to estimate relationships among variables.
    • Hypothesis testing is used to determine if there is enough evidence to reject a null hypothesis.
    • Normal distribution is a probability distribution with a bell-shaped curve.
    • Transformations in geometry are used to manipulate shapes and their positions.
