Stem & Leaf Diagrams
- A stem-and-leaf diagram displays an ordered list of data using digits; two-digit numbers split into tens (stem) and units (leaf).
- Stem written vertically, leaves written horizontally in order; include a key showing how values are formed (e.g., 1|8 means 18).
- To find the median, cross out numbers from ends until middle is reached; if two remain, find midpoint.
- Common mistake: writing only the leaf (e.g., 6) instead of stem+leaf (e.g., 26) for median.
Bar Charts & Pictograms
- A bar chart displays discrete data with bars of equal width separated by gaps; height shows frequency.
- The mode is the outcome with the highest bar; dual bar charts compare two data sets side-by-side.
- A pictogram uses symbols to represent frequency; a key shows value of one symbol (e.g., 1 shoe = 2 students).
- Half or quarter symbols are used; to find median from bar chart, convert to table and use averages from tables method.

Pie Charts
- A pie chart is a circle divided into sectors showing relative proportions; angles are proportional to frequencies.
- To draw: find total frequency, calculate each sector angle as (frequency/total) × 360°, then draw using protractor.
- If chart says 'not to scale', use ratio/proportion; e.g., if 30° = 15 people, then 1° = 0.5 people.
- Total frequency corresponds to 360°; sector angle = (category frequency / total frequency) × 360°.

Reading & Interpreting Statistical Diagrams
- Read context, keys, axis labels, and units carefully; note any outliers or anomalies.
- Describe trends using numbers from graph (e.g., 'temperature decreased from 12°C to 9°C').
- Use exact wording from question; calculate mode, median, mean, or range to support explanations.
- Consider limitations: small data set, bias, or scope (e.g., Jan-Mar data cannot predict August).

Comparing Statistical Diagrams
- Compare trends (increases, decreases, peaks), steepness, and differences/similarities using numbers.
- Calculate mean or median to compare averages; calculate range to compare spread.
- Always relate calculations back to context; e.g., 'male range = 5, female range = 4, so males vary more'.
- Be cautious: data may be unrepresentative (e.g., opening week of a shop) – state reasons.
