Key Points
 Organising Data
• The collected information is called data.
• Data is usually available as raw data or unorganized data.
• Raw data: Any data that has been collected but has not processed or organized for further use.
• Frequency: The number of times something happens in a particular period of time is called
frequency.
 Circle/Pie Chart
• A circle graph also known as a pie chart, is a circular diagram used to represent data.
• Each sector of a circle represents a proportion of the total and the size of each sector is
determined by the quantity it represents.
• The combination of the different components or sectors make a full circle that means the total
of all the given is 360°

• Fraction of a sector =

• Central angle of the component = × 360°

 Chance and Probability


• Probability: Probability is a numerical measure likelihood that a specific event will occur.
• Outcome: A possible result of a probability experiment.
• Equally Likely: When all outcomes of an event have the same chance of occurring.
• Random Experiment: An experiment or process for which the outcome cannot be predicted
with certainty
