Welcome to your summer preparation guide for CIE IGCSE Statistics (Year 10). This article introduces the key topics you will encounter and helps you build a strong foundation before the academic year begins, making your transition smooth and confident. We will cover data types, collection methods, sampling, graphs, summary statistics, probability and the statistical enquiry cycle – all aligned with the Cambridge syllabus.
欢迎阅读您的CIE IGCSE统计（十年级）暑期预习指南。本文介绍您将遇到的关键主题，帮助您在学年开始前打下坚实基础，使过渡顺利而自信。我们将涵盖数据类型、收集方法、抽样、图表、概括统计量、概率和统计探究周期——所有这些都与剑桥考纲保持一致。
1. What is Statistics? | 什么是统计学？
Statistics is the science of collecting, organising, summarising, analysing and drawing conclusions from data. In Year 10, you learn to make sense of real-world information by applying statistical techniques. This subject trains you to think critically about numbers that appear in news, sports, health and science.
统计学是收集、整理、概括、分析数据并得出结论的科学。在十年级，你将学会运用统计技术理解现实世界的信息。这门学科训练你批判性地思考出现在新闻、体育、健康和科学中的数字。
You will also distinguish between a population and a sample. A population includes every member of a defined group, whereas a sample is a subset selected to represent the population. Understanding this difference helps you avoid biased conclusions and decide if a statistic can be trusted.
你还将区分总体和样本。总体包括定义群体的每个成员，而样本是选出来代表总体的一个子集。理解这一区别有助于你避免有偏的结论，并判断一个统计数字是否可信。
2. Types of Data | 数据类型
Data are classified as qualitative (categorical) or quantitative (numerical). Qualitative data describe attributes: eye colour, brand of phone, or type of transport. Quantitative data are numbers obtained by counting or measuring.
数据分为定性（分类）和定量（数值）。定性数据描述属性：眼睛颜色、手机品牌或交通方式。定量数据是通过计数或测量得到的数字。
Quantitative data can be discrete – values that can only take certain separate numbers, like the number of books in a bag – or continuous – values that can take any number within a range, like height or time. Knowing the data type is the first step in choosing the right chart and calculation.
定量数据可以是离散的——只能取某些分开的数值，如书包里的书本数量——或连续的——可以取范围内任何数值，如身高或时间。了解数据类型是选择正确图表和计算的第一步。
3. Data Collection Methods | 数据收集方法
Before analysing data, you need to collect it carefully. Three main methods are surveys (questionnaires), experiments and observational studies. Each has strengths and weaknesses that affect reliability and validity.
在分析数据之前，你需要仔细收集数据。三种主要方法是调查（问卷）、实验和观察性研究。每种方法都有影响可靠性和有效性的优缺点。
A well-designed questionnaire uses unbiased questions, clear language and a mix of open and closed formats. Experiments involve changing an explanatory variable and measuring the response, while controlling other factors. Observational studies record what happens naturally without interference. Ethical approval is required when collecting personal data from people.
精心设计的问卷使用无偏的问题、清晰的语言以及开放式和封闭式题型的组合。实验涉及改变解释变量并测量响应，同时控制其他因素。观察性研究记录自然发生的事情而不加干预。当从人身上收集个人数据时需要伦理批准。
4. Sampling Techniques | 抽样技术
Sampling is essential when a population is too large to study in full. Common techniques include simple random, stratified, systematic and opportunity sampling. Each offers a different balance between ease and representativeness.
当总体太大而无法全面研究时，抽样至关重要。常见技术包括简单随机抽样、分层抽样、系统抽样和便利抽样。每种方法在简便性和代表性之间提供了不同的平衡。
In simple random sampling, every member has an equal chance of selection. Stratified sampling divides the population into groups (strata) based on a characteristic, then takes a random sample from each stratum proportionally. Systematic sampling selects every k-th individual from a list. Opportunity sampling picks whoever is easily available, which can introduce bias.
在简单随机抽样中，每个成员都有同等被选中的机会。分层抽样根据某个特征将总体分成组（层），然后按比例从每层随机抽样。系统抽样从名单中每隔k个个体选出一个。便利抽样挑选容易获得的人，这可能引入偏差。
| Method | Key Feature | Bias Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Simple random | Equal chance for all | Low, but needs full list |
| Stratified | Proportional from subgroups | Low, reflects population structure |
| Systematic | Regular interval from a list | Low if no hidden pattern |
| Opportunity | Convenience sample | High, often not representative |
The choice of method affects the conclusions you can draw. Students are expected to evaluate sampling approaches in CIE exam questions.
方法的选择会影响你能得出的结论。在CIE考试中，学生需要评估抽样方法。
5. Frequency Distributions | 频率分布
Raw data can be messy. A frequency table organises values and shows how many times each occurs. This is the basis for drawing graphs and finding averages.
原始数据可能很杂乱。频数表组织各个值并显示每个值出现的次数。这是绘制图表和求平均值的基础。
For discrete data, list each value with its frequency. For continuous data or many different numbers, group data into class intervals. The group width should be equal if possible, and intervals must not overlap.
对于离散数据，列出每个值及其频数。对于连续数据或许多不同的数字，将数据分组形成组距。组宽应尽可能相等，且区间不应重叠。
Cumulative frequency adds frequencies step by step, helping to find medians and quartiles. Relative frequency expresses frequency as a fraction of the total, useful when comparing data sets of different sizes.
累积频数逐步累加频数，有助于找到中位数和四分位数。相对频率将频数表示为总数的分数，在比较不同大小的数据集时很有用。
6. Charts and Graphs I: Bar Charts and Pie Charts | 图表Ⅰ：条形图和饼图
Bar charts display categorical or discrete data with rectangular bars. The bar height represents frequency or frequency density. Bars are separated by equal gaps, and each axis is clearly labelled.
条形图用矩形条显示分类或离散数据。条的高度代表频数或频率密度。条之间用相等的间隙隔开，每个坐标轴都清楚贴上标签。
Dual bar charts let you compare two related data sets side by side. A pie chart shows how a whole is divided into parts. To draw it, calculate the angle for each category using:
双条形图让你能并排比较两个相关的数据集。饼图显示一个整体如何被分成若干部分。绘制时，使用以下公式计算每个类别的角度：
Angle = (Frequency / Total Frequency) × 360°
Always check that the sum of all angles equals 360°. Pie charts are most effective when there are a small number of categories to compare.
务必检查所有角度之和等于360°。当需要比较的类别数量较少时，饼图最为有效。
7. Charts and Graphs II: Histograms and Frequency Polygons | 图表Ⅱ：直方图和频数多边形
Histograms are used for continuous data, with no gaps between adjacent bars. The area of each bar represents frequency, so if class widths are unequal, you must use frequency density = frequency / class width to make the comparison fair.
直方图用于连续数据，相邻条形之间没有间隙。每个条形的面积代表频数，因此如果组宽不等，你必须使用频率密度 = 频数 / 组宽才能公平比较。
A frequency polygon is formed by joining the midpoints of the tops of histogram bars with straight lines. It helps to show the shape of the distribution and is often drawn on the same axes as the histogram. Adding extra classes at zero frequency at both ends allows the polygon to meet the horizontal axis.
频数多边形通过用直线段连接直方图顶部中点形成。它有助于显示分布的形状，并且常与直方图绘制在同一坐标轴上。在两端添加频率为零的额外区间可以让多边形与横轴相交。
8. Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, Mode | 集中趋势度量：平均数、中位数、众数
Averages summarise the centre of a data set. The three main measures are the mean, median and mode, and each has advantages in different situations.
平均数概括数据集的中心。三种主要度量是平均值、中位数和众数，它们在不同情况下各有优点。
The mean is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of values. In symbols:
平均值通过将所有数值相加然后除以数值个数来计算。符号表示为：
Mean (x̄) = Σx / n
The median is the middle value after arranging data in order. For an even number of values, take the mean of the two centre numbers. The mode is the most frequently occurring value. The mean is sensitive to extreme values, whereas the median remains stable.
中位数是排序后位于中间的数值。对于偶数个数值，取中间两个数值的平均数。众数是最常出现的值。平均值对极端值敏感，而中位数保持稳定。
9. Measures of Spread: Range, Quartiles, Interquartile Range | 离散度量：极差、四分位数、四分位距
Knowing the centre is not enough; spread tells you how consistent or variable the data are. The simplest measure is the range:
知道中心不够；离散度告诉你数据的变异性。最简单的度量是极差：Published by TutorHao | Year 10 统计 Revision Series | aleveler.com
