1 An angle is made up of two arms (rays) meeting at a vertex.
For example, the angle shown is named ABC, or CBA, or B. B
C
2 Angles ( s) can be classified according to their size:
• acute angle: less than 90° • right angle: equal to 90°
• obtuse angle: between 90° and 180° • straight angle: equal to 180°
• reflex angle: between 180° and 360° • revolution: equal to 360° D
For example, what type of angle is DEF? It is between 180° and 360°
E
∴ reflex angle
F
3 Special angles include:
adjacent complementary supplementary vertically opposite

share a common two or more two or more opposite angles

arm and vertex angles adding to 90° angles adding to 180° are equal

For example: Find the supplement of 50°.

As supplementary angles add 180°, then the supplement of 50° is 130° (50 + ? = 180)

B D
4 Markings are used to show equal size and length.
For example, in the diagram, ACB = DCE and BC = DC

5 Parallel lines have the same direction. AB parallel to CD is written AB || CD. A C E

When a third line, called a transversal, cuts parallel lines, the angles formed have special
relationships.

 PROBABILITY
Chance S T U DY N O T E S

1 Probability is the study of chance.

2 The probability of an event is expressed as a fraction, decimal or percentage.
3 An event will have a number of outcomes.
For example, list the outcomes if a die is tossed. There are six outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
4 A simple event is an event where each possible outcome is equally likely.
5 Probability ranges from 0 (impossible event) to 1 (certain event).
6 The probablity of an event Pr(E) is written as:

Pr(E) = number of favourable outcomes

number of possible outcomes
For example, a bag contains three red balls and two blue balls. If a ball is chosen at random, what
is the probability that the ball is red?
3
Pr(red) =
5
7 The sum of all possible outcomes of an event is 1.
For example, a coin is tossed. Write down the possibility of throwing a:
a head b tail
1
∴ Pr(head) = ∴ Pr(tail) = 1
2 2
1 1
As these are the only two possible outcomes, the sum of the probabilities is + = 1.
2 2
8 When we identify complementary events, we can quickly determine probabilities.
For example, a die is tossed. Find the probability of not tossing a 4.
Pr(not tossing a 4) = 1 – Pr(tossing a 4)

9 In some questions the outcomes are not equally likely.
For example, the spinner illustrated is used to choose a number. 1 2

What is the probability of spinning a 3?

For example, draw a back-to-back stem-and-leaf plot for the heights of boys and girls in class 7M1.
Boys (cm): 147, 138, 142, 143, 153, 158, 162, 157, 161, 155, 145, 153

 DATA ANALYSIS
Data Representation and Interpretation S T U DY N O T E S

1 Data are collected using a census or a sample. A census involves collecting data about every
individual in the whole population. For example, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
conducts a census of the Australian population every five years. A sample involves collecting data
from part of the population. If a large enough sample is taken, we can get some idea about the
whole population. For example, to ascertain the popularity of the Prime Minister, a phone call of
1000 adults might be conducted.
2 A calculator can be used in a random sample. For example, one thousand students are each
allocated a number from 0 to 999. The random number generator on the calculator can be used
to choose 20 students at random.
3 A sample is biased if it does not fairly represent the whole population. For example, a sample
of 1000 adults to ascertain the popularity of the Prime Minister would be biased if all the adults
sampled lived in the same suburb. In order to be fair, the sample would have to include adults
from different parts of Australia and from different age groups.
4 Measures of location are mean, median and mode.
5 The mean ( x ) is the average of a set of scores, where x = sum of scores ÷ number of scores.
3+7+6+4+2
For example, find the mean of 3, 7, 6, 4, 2. x = = 4.4
5
6 The mean can also be found by placing your calculator in statistics (STAT) mode. (Check the
instructions that came with your calculator.)
7 The median is the middle of the scores when the scores are arrranged in order.
For example, find the median of the following scores:
a 4, 8, 8, 6, 2, 9, 1 b 34, 4, 62, 48 i.e. 4, 34, 48, 62
i.e. 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 8, 9 As there are an even number of scores, the
∴ median is 6 median is the average of 34 and 48 ∴ median is 41
8 The mode is the most common score—the score with the highest frequency.
For example, find the mode of the following scores:
a 14, 4, 7, 4, 8, 11 b 9, 8, 6, 2, 3, 9, 7, 8
The number 4 occurs most often (twice) The numbers 8 and 9 occur most often (twice each)
∴ mode is 4 ∴ mode is 8 and 9
9 A measure of spread is the range. The range of a set of scores is the highest score minus the
lowest score. For example, find the range of the following scores:
a 12, 8, 43, –4, 32 b 23.4, 1.3, 7.43, 4.02
Range is 43 –(–4) = 43 + 4 ∴ range is 47 Range is 23.4 – 1.3 ∴ range is 22.1
10 Scores may be clustered together or an outlier might exist. An outlier is a score much lower or
© Pascal Press ISBN 978 1 74125 466 2

higher than other scores. For example, in the scores 3, 8, 5, 7, 6, 6, 31, 6, the scores are clustered
about 6 and there is an outlier of 31.

1 A frequency table can be used to find measures of location:

• mean—by inserting an additional column, frequency × score (fx);
• median—by using the frequency column to find the middle score;
• mode—the score with the highest frequency;
• range—highest score minus lowest score.
For example, complete the table (right) and then find the mean, median and mode.
fx
Mean = [ means ‘sum of ’] Score ( x) Frequency (f ) fx
f
102 4 4 16
= 19 = 5.37 (correct to 2 decimal places)
5 6 30
Median: the scores have been arranged in ascending
6 7 42
order. There are 19 scores, so the middle score will be
the 10th score. Working down the frequency column 7 2 14
from the top row, we can see that the 10th score is a Totals f = 19 fx = 102
5 (there are four scores of 4 and six scores of 5)
∴ median = 5.
Mode: the score with the highest frequency of 7 was 6 ∴ mode = 6.
2 A dot plot, frequency histogram or frequency polygon can also be used to find measures of
location:
• mean—by using the formula, sum of scores ÷ number of scores;
• median—by crossing off the high and low scores in pairs to find the middle score;
• mode—the score with the tallest column. For example, find the mean, median and mode of
the data represented by the dot plot at right.
(16 × 3) + (17 × 4) + (18 × 6) + (19 × 4) + (20 × 2)
Mean =
4+7+5+3+1
340
= = 17.89 (correct to 2 decimal places)
19
Median: cross off high and low scores in pairs. We end in the
16 17 18 19 20
middle column ∴ median = 18 Score
Mode = 18
3 A stem-and-leaf plot can also be used to find measures of location:
• mean—by using a formula or the calculator;
• median—by crossing off the high and low scores in pairs to find the middle score;
• mode—look for the most common score.
For example, find the mean, median and mode of the data 6 0 3 4 9
represented by the stem-and-leaf plot at right. 7 0 0 1 2 6 8 9
© Pascal Press ISBN 978 1 74125 466 2

8 0 2 7 7 7 9
Mean: place calculator in STAT mode ∴ mean = 82
9 3 5 6 7 9
Median: first ensure that the stem-and-leaf plot is ordered, 10 2 2
cross off high and low scores in pairs. We are left with scores
80 and 82. ∴ median = 81 [half-way between 80 and 82] Mode: = 87
