Surface Area of Hemisphere

The total surface area of a hemisphere is the sum of the areas of its curved surface and its flat circular base. The curved surface area is half the surface area of a sphere with the same radius. The flat circular base has an area equal to πr^2, where r is the radius. Therefore, the total surface area of a hemisphere is (1/2)(4πr^2) + πr^2 = 3πr^2.

Median Class

The median class is the class interval containing the median of a frequency distribution. To find the median class, first calculate the cumulative frequencies. The median class is the class interval whose cumulative frequency is greater than or equal to half the total frequency.

Mean, Median, and Mode Relationship

In a skewed distribution, the mean, median, and mode are not necessarily equal. In general, the mean is pulled towards the tail of the distribution, the median is less affected, and the mode is at the peak. If the mean is greater than the median, the distribution is positively skewed. If the mean is less than the median, the distribution is negatively skewed.

Probability of a Certain Event

An event that is certain to happen has a probability of 1. This means that the event will always occur, and there is no chance of it not happening. For example, the probability of getting heads or tails after flipping a coin is 1, since either outcome is guaranteed.

Probability of an Event

The probability of an event is a measure of how likely it is to occur. It is calculated as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes. If an event has a probability of 0, it means that the event is impossible. If an event has a probability of 1, it means that the event is certain to occur.

Study Notes

Total Surface Area of a Solid Hemisphere

  • The total surface area of a solid hemisphere with radius 'r' is 3Ï€r².

Median Class

  • To find the median class, first arrange the class intervals in ascending order.
  • The class interval with the cumulative frequency greater than or equal to half of the total frequency is the median class.

Mean and Median

  • If the mean and median of a frequency table are 30 and 35, respectively, then the mode will be 48.

Probability of a Certain Event

  • If an event is certain to occur, its probability is 1.
