Statistics - Grade 11
33.1 Introduction
This chapter gives you an opportunity to build on what you have learned in previous Grades
about data handling and probility. The work done will be mostly of a practical nature. Through
problem solving and activities, you will end up mastering further methods of collecting, organising,
displaying and analysing data. You will also learn how to interpret data, and not always to accept
the data at face value, because data are sometimes unscrupulously misused and abused in order
to try to prove or support a viewpoint. Measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode)
and dispersion (range, percentiles, quartiles, inter-quartile, semi-inter-quartile range, variance
and standard deviation) will be investigated. Of course, the activities involving probability will
be familiar to most of you - for example, you have played dice games or card games even before
you came to school. Your basic understanding of probability and chance gained so far will be
deepened to enable you to come to a better understanding of how chance and uncertainty can
be measured and understood.
33.2.1 Variance
The variance of a data set is the average squared distance between the mean of the data set and
each data value. An example of what this means is shown in Figure 33.1. The graph represents
the results of 100 tosses of a fair coin, which resulted in 45 heads and 55 tails. The mean of the
results is 50. The squared distance between the heads value and the mean is (45 − 50)2 = 25
and the squared distance between the tails value and the mean is (55 − 50)2 = 25. The average
of these two squared distances gives the variance, which is 12 (25 + 25) = 25.
Population Variance
Let the population consist of n elements {x1 ,x2 , . . . ,xn }. with mean x̄ (read as ”x bar”). The
variance of the population, denoted by σ 2 , is the average of the square of the distance of each
data value from the mean value.

Since the population variance is squared, it is not directly comparable with the mean and the
data themselves.
Sample Variance
Let the sample consist of the n elements {x1 ,x2 , . . . ,xn }, taken from the population, with mean
x̄. The variance of the sample, denoted by s2 , is the average of the squared deviations from the
sample mean:
(x − x̄)2
P
s2 = . (33.2)
n−1
Since the sample variance is squared, it is also not directly comparable with the mean and the
data themselves.
A common question at this point is ”Why is the numerator squared?” One answer is: to get
rid of the negative signs. Numbers are going to fall above and below the mean and, since the
variance is looking for distance, it would be counterproductive if those distances factored each
other out.
As seen a distinction is made between the variance, σ 2 , of a whole population and the variance,
s2 of a sample extracted from the population.
When dealing with the complete population the (population) variance is a constant, a parameter
which helps to describe the population. When dealing with a sample from the population the
(sample) variance varies from sample to sample. Its value is only of interest as an estimate for
the population variance.
Properties of Variance
If the variance is defined, we can conclude that it is never negative because the squares are
positive or zero. The unit of variance is the square of the unit of observation. For example, the
420
CHAPTER 33. STATISTICS - GRADE 11 33.2
variance of a set of heights measured in centimeters will be given in square centimeters. This
fact is inconvenient and has motivated many statisticians to instead use the square root of the
variance, known as the standard deviation, as a summary of dispersion.
Since the variance is a squared quantity, it cannot be directly compared to the data values or
the mean value of a data set. It is therefore more useful to have a quantity which is the square
root of the variance. This quantity is known as the standard deviation.
In statistics, the standard deviation is the most common measure of statistical dispersion. Stan-
dard deviation measures how spread out the values in a data set are. More precisely, it is a
measure of the average distance between the values of the data in the set. If the data values are
all similar, then the standard deviation will be low (closer to zero). If the data values are highly
variable, then the standard variation is high (further from zero).
The standard deviation is always a positive number and is always measured in the same units as
the original data. For example, if the data are distance measurements in metres, the standard
deviation will also be measured in metres.
Let the population consist of n elements {x1 ,x2 , . . . ,xn }. with mean x̄. The standard deviation
of the population, denoted by σ, is the square root of the average of the square of the distance
of each data value from the mean value.

σ= (33.3)
n
Let the sample consist of n elements {x1 ,x2 , . . . ,xn }, taken from the population, with mean x̄.
The standard deviation of the sample, denoted by s, is the square root of the average of the
squared deviations from the sample mean:
rP
(x − x̄)2
s= (33.4)
n−1
It is often useful to set your data out in a table so that you can apply the formulae easily. For
example to calculate the standard deviation of 57; 53; 58; 65; 48; 50; 66; 51, you could set it
out in the following way:

Note: To get the deviations, subtract each number from the mean.
421
33.2 CHAPTER 33. STATISTICS - GRADE 11
Note: The sum of the deviations of scores about their mean is zero. This always happens; that
is (X − X̄) = 0, for any set of data. Why is this? Find out.
Calculate the variance (add the squared results together and divide this total by the number of
items).

As with variance, there is a distinction between the standard deviation,σ, of a whole population
and the standard deviation, s, of sample extracted from the population.
When dealing with the complete population the (population) standard deviation is a constant,
a parameter which helps to describe the population. When dealing with a sample from the
population the (sample) standard deviation varies from sample to sample.
2. For each data value xi calculate the difference xi − x̄ between xi and the mean value x̄.
4. Find the average of the squared differences. This quantity is the variance, σ 2 .
5. Take the square root of the variance to obtain the standard deviation, σ.
Question: What is the variance and standard deviation of the population of possi-
bilities associated with rolling a fair die?
Answer
Step 1 : Determine how many outcomes make up the population
When rolling a fair die, the population consists of 6 possible outcomes. The data
set is therefore x = {1,2,3,4,5,6}. and n=6.
Step 2 : Calculate the population mean
The population mean is calculated by:

= 1,708.
Notice how this standard deviation is somewhere in between the possible deviations.
A large standard deviation indicates that the data values are far from the mean and a small
standard deviation indicates that they are clustered closely around the mean.
For example, each of the three samples (0, 0, 14, 14), (0, 6, 8, 14), and (6, 6, 8, 8) has a mean
of 7. Their standard deviations are 7, 5 and 1, respectively. The third set has a much smaller
standard deviation than the other two because its values are all close to 7. The value of the
standard deviation can be considered ’large’ or ’small’ only in relation to the sample that is being
measured. In this case, a standard deviation of 7 may be considered large. Given a different
sample, a standard deviation of 7 might be considered small.
Standard deviation may be thought of as a measure of uncertainty. In physical science for
example, the reported standard deviation of a group of repeated measurements should give the
precision of those measurements. When deciding whether measurements agree with a theoretical
prediction, the standard deviation of those measurements is of crucial importance: if the mean
of the measurements is too far away from the prediction (with the distance measured in standard
423
33.3 CHAPTER 33. STATISTICS - GRADE 11
deviations), then we consider the measurements as contradicting the prediction. This makes
sense since they fall outside the range of values that could reasonably be expected to occur if
the prediction were correct and the standard deviation appropriately quantified. See prediction
interval.
The mean and the standard deviation of a set of data are usually reported together. In a certain
sense, the standard deviation is a ”natural” measure of statistical dispersion if the center of the
data is measured about the mean. This is because the standard deviation from the mean is
smaller than from any other point.
One method of summarising a data set is to present a five number summary. The five numbers
are: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile and maximum.
424
CHAPTER 33. STATISTICS - GRADE 11 33.3
A box and whisker diagram is a method of depicting the five number summary, graphically.
The main features of the box and whisker diagram are shown in Figure 33.2. The box can lie
horizontally (as shown) or vertically. For a horizonatal diagram, the left edge of the box is placed
at the first quartile and the right edge of the box is placed at the third quartile. The height of
the box is arbitrary, as there is no y-axis. Inside the box there is some representation of central
tendency, with the median shown with a vertical line dividing the box into two. Additionally, a
star or asterix is placed at the mean value, centered in the box in the vertical direction. The
whiskers which extend to the sides reach the minimum and maximum values.
Question: Draw a box and whisker diagram for the data set
x = {1,25; 1,5; 2,5; 2,5; 3,1; 3,2; 4,1; 4,25; 4,75; 4,8; 4,95; 5,1}.
Answer
Step 1 : Determine the five number summary
Minimum = 1,25
Maximum = 4,95
Position of first quartile = between 3 and 4
Position of second quartile = between 6 and 7
Position of third quartile = between 9 and 10
The five number summary is therefore: 1,25; 2,5; 3,65; 4,775; 4,95.
Step 2 : Draw a box and whisker diagram and mark the positions of the
minimum, maximum and quartiles.

33.3 CHAPTER 33. STATISTICS - GRADE 11
Cumulative histograms, also known as ogives, are a plot of cumulative frequency and are used
to determine how many data values lie above or below a particular value in a data set. The
cumulative frequency is calculated from a frequency table, by adding each frequency to the total
of the frequencies of all data values before it in the data set. The last value for the cumulative
frequency will always be equal to the total number of data values, since all frequencies will
already have been added to the previous total. The cumulative frequency is plotted at the upper
limit of the interval.
For example, the cumulative frequencies for Data Set 2 are shown in Table 33.2 and is drawn in
Figure 33.3.
Notice the frequencies plotted at the upper limit of the intervals, so the points (30;1) (62;2)
(97;3), etc have been plotted. This is different from the frequency polygon where we plot
frequencies at the midpoints of the intervals.

• Symmetrical data sets are balanced on either side of the median. It does not have to be
exactly equal to be symmetric
• Skewed data is spread out on one side more than on the other. It can be skewed right or
skewed left.

The relationship of the mean, median, and mode to each other can provide some information
about the relative shape of the data distribution. If the mean, median, and mode are approxi-
mately equal to each other, the distribution can be assumed to be approximately symmetrical.
With both the mean and median known the following can be concluded:
When we plot this data as points, we get the scatter plot shown in Figure 33.4.
If we are to come up with a function that best describes the data, we would have to say that a
straight line best describes this data.

Appendix A
PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful doc-
ument “free” in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and
redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or non-commercially. Secondar-
ily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while
not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works of the document must
themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which
is a copyleft license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free
software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the
same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it
can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or
reference.
The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being
those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this
License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be
designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or
Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A
Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format
whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint
programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input
to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text
formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not
Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A
copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo
input format, LATEX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD and standard-
conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary
formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for
which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated
HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as
are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the
most prominent appearance of the work’s title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely
XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language.
(Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”,
“Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title” of such a section when
you modify the Document means that it remains a section “Entitled XYZ” according to this
definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this
License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by
reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that
these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.
VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or non-commercially,
provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever
to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation
in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
the conditions in section A.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display
copies.
COPYING IN QUANTITY
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the
Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts,
620
APPENDIX A. GNU FREE DOCUMENTATION LICENSE
you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-
Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also
clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the
full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on
the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the
title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other
respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first
ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must
either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or
with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public
has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of
the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably
prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after
the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before
redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
version of the Document.
MODIFICATIONS
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of
sections A and A above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this
License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you
must do these things in the Modified Version:
1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document,
and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History
section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original
publisher of that version gives permission.
2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship
of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal
authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they
release you from this requirement.
3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright
notices.
6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permis-
sion to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the
Addendum below.
7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts
given in the Document’s license notice.
8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
9. Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating
at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the
Title Page. If there is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create one stating
the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then
add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
621
APPENDIX A. GNU FREE DOCUMENTATION LICENSE
10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Trans-
parent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document
for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section. You
may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the
Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
11. For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preserve the Title of the
section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their
titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
13. Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section may not be included in the
Modified Version.
14. Do not re-title any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” or to conflict in title
with any Invariant Section.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary
Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate
some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant
Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other
section titles.
You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains nothing but endorsements
of your Modified Version by various parties–for example, statements of peer review or that the
text has been approved by an organisation as the authoritative definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25
words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only
one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through
arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the
same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting
on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission
from the previous publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use
their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
COMBINING DOCUMENTS
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the
terms defined in section A above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combi-
nation all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them
all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant
Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the
same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the
end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known,
or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant
Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History” in the various original
documents, forming one section Entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Ac-
knowledgements”, and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections Entitled
“Endorsements”.

COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under
this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a
single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License
for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under
this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
TRANSLATION
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Doc-
ument under the terms of section A. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires
special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or
all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may
include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any War-
ranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and
the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the
translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version
will prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, or “History”, the
requirement (section A) to Preserve its Title (section A) will typically require changing the actual
title.
TERMINATION
You may not copy, modify, sub-license, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided
for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sub-license or distribute the Document
is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who
have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated
so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies
that a particular numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version
that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does
not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as
a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with...Texts.”
line with this:
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST,
and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three,
merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these
examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public
License, to permit their use in free software.
