F3 Maths Class




On Tuesday F3 had their maths class with Miss Gill.

Below Miss Gill explains about the lesson.

The lesson was all about statistics and data, where we had done mean, median and mode of different types of data before starting on cumulative frequency diagrams and interquartile ranges when the pictures were being taken. This isn't the most exciting aspect of maths, but it is very useful for those going on to study economics and business studies as it is all about collecting, processing and presenting data. One good discussion point was how we can use different types of 'average' to give different impressions from the same set of data, so it is true that there are 'lies, damned lies and statistics'.
