The document provides notes on statistics and probability for JEE, focusing on the mean and median. It defines the mean as the average of observations and outlines its properties, including the uniqueness and effects of constants. The median is described as the middle value in ordered data, with specific calculations for both odd and even datasets.

Statistics & Probability – JEE Notes

1️⃣ Mean (Average)

Definition

The mean of a dataset is the sum of all observations divided by the


number of observations:
∑ xi
x́=
n
 x i = individual observations

 n = number of observations

Properties

1. Sum of deviations from the mean is zero:

∑ (xi − x́)=0

2. Mean is unique for a dataset.

3. If each observation is multiplied by a constant a and a constant b is


added:
y i=a x i +b ⇒ ý=a x́ +b

4. Weighted mean:
∑ w i xi
x́ w =
∑ wi

2️⃣ Median

Definition

The median is the middle value when the data is arranged in ascending
order.

 Odd n: middle value

 Even n: average of two middle values


n
−c
2
Median (for grouped data)=l+ ⋅h
f

Where:
 l = lower boundary of median class

 n = total frequency

 c = cumulative frequency before median class
