Pythagoras
a2=b2+c2
Median
(n (how many numbers) + 1 /2) th position
Mean
EFX/EF
IQR
UQ-LQ
LQ
25% of the data
UQ
75% of median (LQx3)
Boundaries when + or x
max = a max +x b max
min = a min +x b min
Boundaries when - or /
max = a max -/ b min
min. a min -/ b max
Finding a % of a quantity
Percentage changed to fraction x quantity
Percentage increase
Change percentage to a decimal then add to 1.00 and x by original
Percentage decrease
Change percentage to a decimal then take away from 1.00 and x by original
A quantity as a percentage of another
Write as fraction then x 100
Percentage change
Actual change / original x 100
Original quantity
Find 1% then x100 to get 100%
Simple interest
Change percentage interest to a decimal then add to 1.00 then x by money invested. Take original away to find interest money. X this by the number of years invested
Compound interest
original amount x interest (added to 1.00) to the power of years
Midpoint
(x1 x x2 / 2, y1 x y2 / 2)
Gradient
Rise / run (downhill lines have negative rise values - ‘fall’)
Length of a line
Find 2 sides using rise and run, then Pythagoras the hypotenuse
Straight line graphs
y = mx + c
m = gradient
c = y- intercept
Perimeter
All sides added together
A of square
side length squared
A of rectangle
L x B
A of triangle
b x h / 2
