1. Data Collection and Sampling Methods | 数据收集与抽样方法

Data can be collected from primary sources (first-hand) or secondary sources (existing data). Choosing an appropriate sampling method is crucial to obtain a representative sample. Common methods include random sampling, where every member of the population has an equal chance; stratified sampling, dividing the population into groups and sampling proportionally; systematic sampling, selecting members at regular intervals; and quota sampling, selecting a fixed number from each category.

数据可以通过一手来源（直接收集）或二手来源（现有数据）获取。选择合适的抽样方法对于获得代表性样本至关重要。常见方法包括简单随机抽样（总体中每个成员被选中的机会均等）、分层抽样（将总体分组并按比例抽取）、系统抽样（按固定间隔选取成员）和配额抽样（从每个类别中选取固定数量）。

A sampling frame is a list of all members of the population. Bias can occur if certain groups are over- or under-represented. The quality of data also depends on well-designed questionnaires, avoiding leading questions, and ensuring anonymity.

抽样框是列出总体所有成员的清单。如果某些群体被过多或过少代表，就会产生偏差。数据质量还取决于设计良好的问卷，避免诱导性问题，并确保匿名性。

2. Presenting Data: Charts and Diagrams | 数据展示：图表与图示

Data visualisation helps identify patterns and communicate findings. Bar charts display categorical data, while histograms show the distribution of continuous data, with area proportional to frequency. Cumulative frequency curves (ogives) allow estimation of medians and percentiles. Box plots (box-and-whisker diagrams) summarise data using the five-number summary: minimum, lower quartile (Q1), median (Q2), upper quartile (Q3), and maximum.

数据可视化有助于发现规律并传达结果。条形图展示分类数据，直方图显示连续数据的分布，面积与频数成比例。累积频数曲线（形如S的图）可用于估计中位数和百分位数。箱线图（盒须图）通过五数概括（最小值、下四分位数Q1、中位数Q2、上四分位数Q3、最大值）总结数据。

Pie charts show proportions, and comparative pie charts can be used where area is proportional to total frequency. Scatter graphs, stem-and-leaf diagrams, and choropleth maps are also part of the syllabus.

饼图显示比例，比较饼图可根据总面积与总频数成比例来比较不同数据集。散点图、茎叶图和等值区域图也是大纲内容。

3. Measures of Central Tendency | 集中趋势的度量

The mean (x̄) is calculated by summing all values and dividing by the number of observations. For grouped data, midpoints are used. The median is the middle value when data are ordered; for grouped data, it is found using linear interpolation within the median class interval. The mode is the most frequent value. Each measure has advantages: the mean uses all data but is affected by outliers; the median is resistant to outliers; the mode is useful for categorical data.

均值（x̄）是所有数据之和除以观测次数。对于分组数据，使用组中点进行计算。中位数是排序后位于中间的值；对于分组数据，需在中位数组距内进行线性插值。众数是出现频率最高的值。每种度量各有优势：均值利用所有数据但受异常值影响；中位数不受异常值影响；众数适用于分类数据。

For a frequency distribution, mean = Σfx / Σf, where x is the class midpoint. The modal class is the class with the highest frequency density for histograms.

对于频数分布，均值 = Σfx / Σf，其中x为组中点。在直方图中，模态组是频数密度最高的组。

4. Measures of Dispersion | 离散程度的度量

Dispersion describes how spread out the data are. The range (max − min) is simple but sensitive to outliers. The interquartile range (IQR = Q3 − Q1) eliminates extreme values and measures the middle 50%. Variance and standard deviation (σ or s) use all data and quantify average squared deviation from the mean. For a population: σ² = Σ(x − μ)² / N; for a sample: s² = Σ(x − x̄)² / (n − 1). Standard deviation is the square root of variance.

离散程度描述数据的分散情况。极差（最大值 − 最小值）简单但易受异常值影响。四分位距（IQR = Q3 − Q1）剔除极端值，衡量中间50%的数据范围。方差和标准差（σ或s）利用所有数据，量化与均值离差的平方的平均值。对于总体：σ² = Σ(x − μ)² / N；对于样本：s² = Σ(x − x̄)² / (n − 1)。标准差是方差的平方根。

A lower standard deviation indicates data are clustered around the mean; a higher one indicates greater spread. Outliers can be identified using the 1.5 × IQR rule: a value is an outlier if it falls below Q1 − 1.5 × IQR or above Q3 + 1.5 × IQR.

标准差较小表示数据集中在均值附近；较大表示数据分散。异常值可以使用1.5 × IQR规则识别：若数据值低于 Q1 − 1.5 × IQR 或高于 Q3 + 1.5 × IQR，则视为异常值。

5. Probability Basics and Rules | 概率基础与规则

Probability measures the chance of an event occurring, ranging from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). For equally likely outcomes, P(A) = number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes. The complement rule: P(not A) = 1 − P(A). For mutually exclusive events, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B). For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B).

概率衡量事件发生的可能性，范围从0（不可能）到1（必然）。对于等可能结果，P(A) = 有利结果数 / 总结果数。补集规则：P(非A) = 1 − P(A)。对于互斥事件，P(A或B) = P(A) + P(B)。对于独立事件，P(A且B) = P(A) × P(B)。

Tree diagrams help model multi-stage experiments, multiplying along branches and adding for combined outcomes. Conditional probability, P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B), is introduced when one event affects the probability of another.

树形图有助于模拟多阶段试验，沿分支相乘，合并结果时相加。当一个事件影响另一个事件的概率时，引入条件概率 P(A|B) = P(A且B) / P(B)。

6. Probability Distributions and Expectation | 概率分布与期望

A probability distribution lists all possible outcomes of a discrete random variable with their associated probabilities, summing to 1. The expected value E(X) = Σ [x · P(X = x)] provides the long-run average. The variance of a random variable Var(X) = E(X²) − [E(X)]².

概率分布列出离散随机变量的所有可能结果及其对应概率，总和为1。期望值E(X) = Σ [x · P(X = x)] 提供了长期平均值。随机变量的方差Var(X) = E(X²) − [E(X)]²。

The binomial distribution B(n, p) applies to a fixed number of independent trials, each with two outcomes (success/failure) and constant probability p. The probability of exactly r successes is P(X = r) = ⁿCᵣ pʳ (1 − p)ⁿ⁻ʳ. Mean μ = np, variance σ² = np(1 − p). Calculators or tables can be used to find cumulative probabilities.

二项分布B(n, p)适用于固定次数的独立试验，每次试验只有两种结果（成功/失败），且成功概率p恒定。恰好r次成功的概率为 P(X = r) = ⁿCᵣ pʳ (1 − p)ⁿ⁻ʳ。均值μ = np，方差σ² = np(1 − p)。可使用计算器或表格求累积概率。
