Measures of Dispersion — Class 11 Maharashtra HSC Mathematics revision notes
A 4-page visual revision sheet for Measures of Dispersion, written for Class 11 Maharashtra HSC Mathematics. Formulas, diagrams and the traps that cost marks, laid out to be read the night before rather than the term before. Free, and it opens inside CapCompass.
What this Measures of Dispersion sheet covers
- Why the mean is not enough
- Same mean, different spread: runs scored in 5 ODIs
- Range
- definition
- Range of raw data
- Variance and Standard Deviation
- Variance and SD for raw data
- variance, by definition
- variance, computing form
- standard deviation
- Why the shortcut variance formula works
- Variance and SD for frequency distributions
- ungrouped, values x_i with frequencies f_i
- grouped, x_i is the class mid-value
- where
- Variance of raw data
- Change of origin and scale
- Step-deviation method
- substitution, A a convenient origin, h the class width
- SD relation
- variance relation
- Step-deviation on grouped data
- Standard deviation of combined data
- combined mean, sizes n_1,n_2
- combined SD
- Finding a missing group from a combined variance
- Coefficient of Variation
- Comparing consistency with C.V.
- Symbols
- Traps that cost marks
- Tricks that save time
How CapCompass uses this sheet
These notes are not a standalone PDF. CapCompass plans Mathematics chapter by chapter against your real exam dates and free hours, and when the plan reaches Measures of Dispersion the sheet opens inside the study block itself — at the page covering the sub-topic that block is on, with the timer still running. Revision arrives at the moment the plan says revise, instead of having to be gone looking for.
