本文梳理了CAIE IGCSE统计学(0479)课程的核心知识点，涵盖数据类型、收集、表示、中心与离散度量、累积频率、相关性、回归、概率及时间序列分析。请配合历年真题使用，高效备考。
1. Types of Data | 数据类型
Data is classified as qualitative (categorical) or quantitative (numerical). Quantitative data can be further divided into discrete (countable, e.g. number of cars) and continuous (measurable, e.g. weight).
数据分为定性数据（分类数据）和定量数据（数值数据）。定量数据又分为离散数据（可数，如汽车数量）和连续数据（可测量，如体重）。
Understanding the type of data is essential for choosing appropriate statistical diagrams and calculations.
理解数据类型是选择合适的统计图表和计算方式的基础。
2. Data Collection and Sampling Methods | 数据收集与抽样方法
A census surveys every member of the population, while a sample studies only a subset. Sampling methods include simple random, systematic, stratified, quota, and convenience sampling.
普查调查总体中的每一个体，而抽样只研究一个子集。抽样方法包括简单随机抽样、系统抽样、分层抽样、配额抽样和便利抽样。
Stratified sampling ensures proportional representation by dividing the population into strata and taking a random sample from each. Quota sampling is non-random but ensures certain groups are represented.
分层抽样将总体分为不同层级，从每层随机抽取样本，保证比例代表。配额抽样非随机，但能确保特定群体被纳入。
3. Representing Data: Charts and Graphs | 数据表示：图表与图形
Common diagrams include bar charts (for categorical data), pie charts, pictograms, and line graphs. For grouped continuous data, histograms with no gaps between bars are used, where frequency is proportional to the area.
常见图表包括条形图（用于分类数据）、饼图、象形图和折线图。对于分组连续数据，使用直方图，条形之间无间隙，频率与面积成正比。
Stem-and-leaf diagrams display individual values while showing the shape of the distribution. Frequency polygons join the midpoints of histogram bars with straight lines.
茎叶图既能展示个体数值，又能呈现分布形态。频率多边图用直线连接直方图各条形中点。
4. Measures of Central Tendency | 集中趋势度量
The mean is calculated as the sum of all values divided by the count. For grouped data, use the midpoints of class intervals.
平均数等于所有数值之和除以数据个数。对于分组数据，使用组中值进行计算。
Mean = Σx / n or Σfx / Σf
平均数 = Σx / n 或 Σfx / Σf
The median is the middle value when data is ordered. For grouped data, use linear interpolation. The mode is the most frequent value; for grouped data it is the modal class.
中位数是排序后位于中间的数值，分组数据可用线性插值法求得。众数是出现频率最高的值；分组数据中则为众数所在组。
5. Measures of Dispersion | 离散度量
Range = maximum value – minimum value. It is sensitive to extreme values. Interquartile range (IQR) = Q₃ – Q₁, the spread of the middle 50% of data.
极差 = 最大值 – 最小值，对极端值敏感。四分位距(IQR) = 上四分位数 Q₃ – 下四分位数 Q₁，代表中间50%数据的扩散程度。
Standard deviation measures the average distance from the mean. For a sample, use the divisor (n – 1). Variance is the square of standard deviation.
标准差衡量数据与平均值的平均偏离程度。样本标准差的分母为 (n – 1)。方差是标准差的平方。
s = √[ Σ(x – x̄)² / (n – 1) ] or √[ Σfx²/Σf – ( Σfx/Σf )² ]
s = √[ Σ(x – x̄)² / (n – 1) ] 或 √[ Σfx²/Σf – ( Σfx/Σf )² ]
6. Cumulative Frequency and Box Plots | 累积频率与箱线图
A cumulative frequency table adds frequencies step by step. The ogive (cumulative frequency graph) is plotted with upper class boundaries and used to estimate medians, quartiles, and percentiles.
累积频率表逐步累加频率。累积频率图使用组上限绘制，用于估算中位数、四分位数和百分位数。
A box-and-whisker plot visualises the five-number summary: minimum, Q₁, median, Q₃, maximum. Outliers can be identified as points more than 1.5 × IQR beyond the quartiles.
箱线图直观展示五数概括：最小值、Q₁、中位数、Q₃、最大值。离群值被定义为距离四分位数超过 1.5 倍 IQR 的点。
7. Scatter Graphs and Correlation | 散点图与相关性
Scatter diagrams plot bivariate data to show relationships. Correlation is positive if y increases with x, negative if y decreases as x increases, or zero if no discernible pattern.
散点图用于展示双变量数据的关系。若 y 随 x 增大而增大，即为正相关；若 y 随 x 增大而减小，即为负相关；若无明显规律，则为零相关。
The strength of correlation ranges from weak to strong. Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient r takes values between –1 and 1, where –1 is perfect negative, +1 perfect positive, and 0 no linear correlation.
相关强度从弱到强。皮尔逊积矩相关系数 r 的取值范围在 –1 到 1 之间，–1 为完全负相关，+1 为完全正相关，0 表示无线性相关。
8. Linear Regression and Line of Best Fit | 线性回归与最佳拟合线
The regression line of y on x has equation y = a + bx, where b = Sxy / Sxx and a = ȳ – b x̄. Sxy = Σ(x – x̄)(y – ȳ) and Sxx = Σ(x – x̄)².
y 对 x 的回归直线方程为 y = a + bx，其中 b = Sxy / Sxx，a = ȳ – b x̄。Sxy = Σ(x – x̄)(y – ȳ)，Sxx = Σ(x – x̄)²。
This line can be used to predict values of y for given x within the data range (interpolation). Extrapolation outside the data range may be unreliable.
该直线可用于在数据范围内给定 x 预测 y 值（内插）。超出数据范围的外推可能不可靠。
9. Probability: Basics and Tree Diagrams | 概率基础与树状图
Probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1. The sum of probabilities of all possible mutually exclusive outcomes is 1. For independent events, P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B).
事件的概率是介于 0 和 1 之间的数。所有互斥且穷举的可能结果概率之和为 1。对于独立事件，P(A 且 B) = P(A) × P(B)。
Tree diagrams display sequences of events with branches showing probabilities. Multiply along branches for combined events; add probabilities from different branches for ‘or’ scenarios.
树状图用分支显示事件的顺序及其概率。沿分支相乘得到联合事件的概率；将不同分支概率相加用于“或”的情况。
10. Conditional Probability and Venn Diagrams | 条件概率与维恩图
Conditional probability P(A|B) is the probability of event A given that event B has occurred. For independent events, P(A|B) = P(A).
条件概率 P(A|B) 表示在事件 B 已发生的条件下事件 A 发生的概率。对于独立事件，P(A|B) = P(A)。
P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)
P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)
Venn diagrams illustrate sets and their relationships. They are useful for solving problems involving ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘not’, and conditional probability.
维恩图直观展示集合及其关系，常用于解决涉及“且”、“或”、“非”和条件概率的问题。
11. Time Series and Moving Averages | 时间序列与移动平均
A time series plots data collected at regular intervals over time. General trends (long-term movement) and seasonal variations can be identified.
时间序列图按固定时间间隔绘制数据。可识别长期趋势和季节性变动。
Moving averages smooth out short-term fluctuations to reveal the underlying trend. For quarterly data a 4-point moving average is centred to align with time periods.
移动平均法可消除短期波动，揭示潜在趋势。对于季度数据，4点移动平均值需居中处理，以对准相应时段。
Seasonal variation = actual value – centered moving average. This helps in forecasting and adjusting data.
季节变动 = 实际值 – 中心化移动平均值，可用于预测和数据调整。
12. Interpreting Statistical Data | 统计数据的解读
Always consider the context: compare measures of centre and spread, comment on shape (symmetric, skewed), and identify outliers. Use appropriate diagrams to support comparisons.
始终联系实际背景：比较中心与离散度量，评论分布形状（对称、偏态），识别离群值。选用合适的图表辅助比较。
When drawing conclusions, acknowledge limitations of data collection methods and sample size. Avoid claiming causation from correlation alone.
得出结论时，需承认数据收集方法和样本量的局限性，切不可仅凭相关性推断因果关系。
