It means we have to convert or construct a circle equal to the square.

-> By Pythagoras, OA’ = √(a2+a2)

                                OA = √(2a2) = a√2

-> Here OA=OE=√2

-> Make a point F, such that OF= OG+1/3GE

-> Draw a circle with center F and radius OF. This circle’s area is equal to the square’s area.

Proof

OF= OG+1/3GE

OF=a+1/

Measures of Dispersion and Correlation in Statistics

Measures of Dispersion

Range

Strengths:

  • Simplicity: Easy to understand and calculate.
  • Quick Insight: Provides a quick indication of the spread between the minimum and maximum values.

Weaknesses:

  • Sensitivity to Outliers: Heavily affected by extreme values, making it less reliable for skewed distributions.
  • Ignores Middle Data: Does not consider the distribution of data points between the extremes.

Variance

Strengths:

  • Incorporates All Data: Takes into account every data point in the dataset.
  • Foundation for Other

Data Representation and Probability

8A Data

Data can be either numerical (a symbol representing a number) or categorical (data that can be grouped according to a particular type).

Numerical data can either be discrete (can only be particular numerical values) or continuous (can be any numerical value in a range).

Categorical data is non-numerical data that can be grouped into ‘categories’.

Data can be represented as a graph or a table.

Common types of graphs include:

8B Tables

A tally is a tool used for counting as results are gathered.
