Statistics and Data Interpretation - Complete Interactive Lesson
Part 1: Mean, Median, Mode
๐ Data Statistics
Part 1 of 7 โ Mean, Median, Mode
Mean (average): sum of values / number of values.
Median: middle value when sorted (average of two middle if even count).
Check Your Understanding ๐ฏ
Key Insight: Mode: most frequent value.
SAT Tip: SAT tip: adding/removing values changes mean โ track the sum.

Standard Deviation & Spread
Part 2 of 7 โ Standard Deviation & Spread
Range = max - min.
Standard deviation measures spread from the mean.
Check Your Understanding ๐ฏ
Key Insight: Larger SD = more spread out; smaller SD = more clustered.
SAT Tip: SAT won't ask you to calculate SD, but you must compare or interpret it.

Part 3: Interpreting Tables
Data Displays
Part 3 of 7 โ Data Displays
Histograms: bars show frequency for intervals (no gaps).
Box plots: show min, Q1, median, Q3, max.
Check Your Understanding ๐ฏ
Key Insight: IQR = Q3 - Q1 (middle 50% of data).
SAT Tip: Outliers: typically more than 1.5 ร IQR below Q1 or above Q3.

Scatterplots & Line of Best Fit
Part 4 of 7 โ Scatterplots & Line of Best Fit
Scatterplot: shows relationship between two variables.
Line of best fit: approximates the trend.
Check Your Understanding ๐ฏ
Key Insight: Positive correlation: both increase together; negative: one up, one down.
SAT Tip: r (correlation coefficient): closer to ยฑ1 = stronger linear relationship.

Probability Basics
Part 5 of 7 โ Probability Basics
Probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes.
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).
Check Your Understanding ๐ฏ
Key Insight: P(A and B) = P(A) ร P(B) if independent.
SAT Tip: Conditional probability: P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B).
