What is statistics?

A branch of mathematics that deals with collecting, analyzing, interpreting, presenting, and organizing data.

Why is statistics important in JEE Main Mathematics?

It forms a significant portion of the syllabus.

What are the measures of central tendency?

Mean, median, and mode.

How is the mean calculated?

$$ 	ext{Mean} (
u) = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i}{n} $$.

What is the median?

The middle value of a data set when arranged in order.

How is the mode defined?

The value that appears most frequently in a data set.

What are measures of dispersion?

They describe the spread or variability of a data set.

What is the range of a data set?

The difference between the highest and lowest values.

How is variance calculated?

$$ \text{Variance} (\sigma^2) = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (x_i - \mu)^2}{n} $$.

What is standard deviation?

The square root of the variance, measuring spread in the same units as the data.

What do probability distributions describe?

How probabilities are distributed over the values of a random variable.

What is a discrete probability distribution?

Applies to scenarios where the random variable can take on a finite or countably infinite number of values.

What is the binomial distribution?

Describes the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials.

What is the formula for the binomial distribution?

$$ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k} $$.

What is a continuous probability distribution?

Applies to scenarios where the random variable can take on any value within a given range.

What characterizes the normal distribution?

Its bell-shaped curve defined by its mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$.

What is the probability density function (PDF) of a normal distribution?

$$ f(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}} e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}} $$.

What is the importance of understanding statistics for JEE Main?

It is crucial for excelling in mathematics and problem-solving.
