Before calculating, identify what each value measures, the population, and whether the sample is representative.
Mean, median, range, and probability answer different questions. Give the value together with a contextual interpretation.
A graph needs a valid scale and a probability must lie from 0 to 1. These checks immediately expose inconsistent answers.
State what each value measures, organise it in a table or graph, then choose the appropriate statistic. Finish with estimation, an inverse operation, or substitution as a check.

For the data 3, 5, 8, 7, 6, find the mean and range.
Mean 5.8, range 5.
Before calculating, explain the key idea from “Data representation” and which conditions must be checked.
The answer should show not only which rule is used for “Data representation”, but also why it is valid here.

Вісім завдань від базових навичок до екзаменаційного рівня. Спочатку виконайте самостійно.
Data: 3, 4, 3, 4. Find mean and range.
Mean = sum/count.
mean = 3.5, range = 1.
Order 12, 6, 36, 6, 6 and find the median.
The median is the middle ordered value.
6, 6, 6, 12, 36; median = 6.
A bag contains 9 blue and 3 yellow counters. Find P(blue).
Favourable outcomes / total outcomes.
P = 9/12.
In 125 trials, an outcome occurred 25 times. Find relative frequency and percentage.
Divide frequency by number of trials.
25/125 = 0.2 = 20%.
Values 8, 2 have frequencies 2, 8. Find the weighted mean.
Sum value×frequency and divide by total frequency.
(8·2 + 2·8)/10 = 3.20.
Two samples have the same mean but ranges 4 and 16. Which is more consistent and why?
Lower spread means greater consistency.
The sample with range 4 is more consistent because its values are less spread out.
Choose a suitable graph for “Data representation” and justify axes, scale, and title.
Decide whether data are categorical, discrete, or continuous.
A full response matches graph type to the data, labels axes and units, uses an even scale, and includes a clear title.
Explain why correlation between two variables does not prove causation.
A third factor or reverse relationship may exist.
Correlation shows co-variation, not a controlled mechanism. Establishing causation needs a designed experiment and control of confounders.

Шість різних завдань від базового рівня до складного з часом, підказками та відповідями.
Homework 1: Data: 6, 5, 6, 5. Find mean and range.
Mean = sum/count.
mean = 5.5, range = 1.
Homework 2: Order 11, 9, 18, 2, 9 and find the median.
The median is the middle ordered value.
2, 9, 9, 11, 18; median = 9.
Homework 3: A bag contains 5 blue and 4 yellow counters. Find P(blue).
Favourable outcomes / total outcomes.
P = 5/9.
Homework 4: In 240 trials, an outcome occurred 48 times. Find relative frequency and percentage.
Divide frequency by number of trials.
48/240 = 0.2 = 20%.
Homework 5: Values 4, 3 have frequencies 3, 4. Find the weighted mean.
Sum value×frequency and divide by total frequency.
(4·3 + 3·4)/7 = 3.43.
Homework 6: Two samples have the same mean but ranges 7 and 35. Which is more consistent and why?
Lower spread means greater consistency.
The sample with range 7 is more consistent because its values are less spread out.

A Level Year 12: структурований маршрут з математики та фізики з розділами, практикою і наступними кроками.
Структура відповідає підручнику й допомагає організувати вивчення теми.
Теми, де найчастіше виникають помилки або потрібна додаткова практика.
З чого почати: підручник, daily material, PDFs, videos і worked examples.
Цільова практика перед full tests, щоб coverage було зрозумілим.
Як вимірювати прогрес у главі і коли додавати її до загального mock.
Що робити після глави і як вона пов'язана з наступним розділом.
Примітка: офіційну екзаменаційну програму кожного року завжди уточнюйте у школі, викладача та за поточними офіційними джерелами.
