Introduction

Statistics = The skill of collecting information → organising it → understanding what it means

Think of it like organising your room:

  1. First, you gather all your belongings (COLLECT)

  2. Then, you arrange them neatly (ORGANIZE)

  3. Finally, you can see what you have (UNDERSTAND)

CISCE: Class 6

Definition: Data

Data is a collection of facts, information, or observations, usually in numerical form.

  • Example: The heights of all the children in your class.

  • Example: The marks obtained by 20 students in a math test.

CISCE: Class 6

Definition: Raw Data

Raw Data is the information that you have just collected, and it is completely unsorted or unarranged. It's like a messy pile of clothes!

Example (Marks): Imagine a teacher writes the test marks of 15 students on the board:

72, 77, 67, 74, 82, 80, 66, 90, 78, 57, 56, 54, 74, 72, 92

This long list is Raw Data. It's hard to quickly tell who scored the highest or lowest mark.

CISCE: Class 6

Organising Data

To make data easier to understand, we arrange it:

  • in ascending order

  • in table

  • using tally marks

  • Frequency: Frequency simply means how many times a value occurs.
  • in class intervals

This helps us get useful information quickly.

CISCE: Class 6

Example 1

A survey of families in a locality gave the following:

No. of Members No. of Families
1 3
2 5
3 12
4 22
5 and above 8
CISCE: Class 6

Example 2

Shoe sizes recorded in class:

4 5 3 4 3 4 5 5 4
5 5 4 5 6 4 3 5 6
4 6 4 5 7 5 6 4 5

Arranged in ascending order:

3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7

Frequency table:

Shoe Size Frequency
3 3
4 9
5 10
6 4
7 1
CISCE: Class 6

Example 3

Sweets  Tally Marks No. of Students
Jalebi `\cancel(||||)` | 6
Gulab jamun `\cancel(||||)` |||| 9
Gujiya `\cancel(||||)` `\cancel(||||)` |||          13            
Barf |||           3             
Rasgulla `\cancel(||||)` ||            7                 

Every fifth mark is drawn like this: `\cancel(||||)`

CISCE: Class 6
