3. Cumulative frequency Finding the median and quartiles
When looking at a cumulative frequency curve, you will need to know how to find its median, lower and upper quartiles, and the interquartile range.
By drawing horizontal lines to represent 1/4 of the total frequency, 1/2 of the total frequency and 3/4 of the total frequency, we can read estimates of the lower quartile, median and upper quartile from the horizontal axis.

4. Histograms
Remember that in a bar chart the height of the bar represents the frequency. It is therefore correct to label the vertical axis 'frequency'.
However, as in a histogram, it is the area which represents the frequency.
It would therefore be incorrect to label the vertical axis 'frequency' and the label should be 'frequency density'.

7. BIDMAS
BIDMAS is (Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction). BIDMAS tells us which operation should come first. these rules can be remembered easily by using BIDMAS (Brackets, Indices, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction). BIDMAS tells us which operation should come first.

8. Probability
You can estimate probabilities from an experiment. These are sometimes called experimental probabilities. For example, in an experiment where you drop a drawing pin: The pin lands up 279 times. The pin lands down 721 times. The total number of throws is So the probability of the drawing pin landing up is: The number of times this outcome occurs (pin up) ÷ total number of outcomes (or trials) = 279/1000 (or 0.279, or 27.9 %).
