CollinsAdvanced Mathematics issuitable for a wide range of courses. It is primarily designed to help students get the best from the new generation of A- and AS-level mathematics syllabuses. The books provide interesting and relevant contexts and develop skills inmodelling and problem solving. 
Statistics uses contexts and tools toenhance learning of statistics at A- and AS-level. Novel situations range from games of chance and weather forecasting to organicgardening and business problems. Guidance on appropriate coursework tasks is given.
Each book: 
·has been written by a team of senior examiners
·has hundreds of exercises
·includes full A-level examination questions 
·integrates support for new technology 
·includes consolidation exercises for all topics to promote real understanding and helppractice techniques 

Ensure extensive knowledge and top marks in A Level Statistics for your students, with enhanced learning through interesting contexts and tools. Full guidance on coursework tasks and practice exercises for each topic compound understanding and expertise. Filled with A Level content and practice (not updated for 2004 curriculum onwards).
• Build confidence through hundreds of questions at the right level.
• Ensure students are fully prepared for their exams with extensive practice exercises, worked examples and full A-level examination questions.
• Make Statistics relevant and useful through new applications and modelling techniques from games of chance to weather forecasting.
• Promote understanding through consolidation exercises at the end of each topic.
• Educate your students in new technology, integrated within the course.
• Challenge and broaden your students’ minds with new interpretations of traditional topics in Statistics, from organic gardening to business problems.

1  Data
Statistics is about gathering, communicating,analyzing andinterpreting data. In this chapter we begin the story by: 
■ introducing various types of data
■ presenting data in the form of bar charts, pie charts, frequency line diagrams, stem-and-leaf displays, histograms, frequency density polygons and curves.
INFORMATION AND DATA
Statistics is all about gathering, communicating, analysing and interpretinginformation. The information is obtained from various sources, and in its basic form it is calleddata. There are two distinct types of data, which arequalitative andquantitative.
Qualitative data
Qualitative information, as the term suggests, is descriptive information. It may be expressed as a property, or in terms of categories, or as a quality for example: colour, gender, nationality, style,
