 Statistics

Each piece of numerical information collected is called a statistics.

Statistics are numerical facts or data.

A frequency table is a good way of showing statistics.

A tally helps us to do this.

Remember to ensure you have accounted for all your data by doing
a total at the end.
 What is the mode or modal number?

In a set of numbers the mode or modal number is the

number that occurs most often and hence has the

highest frequency.

What was the mode in the previous

question?
