Statistics and Probability CS

The document covers key concepts in KS3 Statistics and Probability, including definitions of averages (mean, median, mode, range), probability, and data representation methods such as pie charts, Venn diagrams, and scatter graphs. It explains how to calculate angles for pie charts based on frequencies and illustrates probability using a number line and sample space. Additionally, it discusses the correlation in scatter graphs and the importance of drawing a line of best fit.
