MATHEMATICS SYMBOLS TO BE USED IN THE EXAM

/ means DIVISION * means multiplication tita u should know dat.

rais means raise to power ^ means raise to power sqr rut/ squar rut means
square root

----(1) means equation 1 yr means year f(x-xbar) means x MINUS x BAR as in statistics which means
that MINUS WILL BE ON TOP OF x.

, (Comma) means NEXT LINE, THIS MEANS THAT THE FOLLOWING
NUMBER IS UNDER THE NUMBER IT
IS FOLLOWING i.e UNDER. It is
usually used during STATISTICS
when drawing a table.

EXAMPLE 1.

X:1,2,3,4,
FX: 4,6,8,10
FX-Xbar: 10,8,6,4, DRAW A TABLE WITH X|FX|(FX-
Xbar)
The above statement means
that:
~For X, it has 1 2 3 4 5 6 under
it. which means 1 is under 2, 2 is under 1, 3 is under 2, 4 is
under 3 and so on...
~Under FX you have 4, then 6
under 4, then 8 under 6, then
10 under 8, then 12 under 10.....
~Under FX-Xbar you have 10, then 8 under 10, then 6 under
8, then 4 under 6, then 2 under
4, then 1 under 2...

IN A CLEARER WAY:
� comma means NEXT LINE(e.g)
x : 1,2,3
fx : 4,5,6
fx-xbar : 10,8,6,4

x|fx |fx-x�¯�¯|
1| 4 | 10 |
2| 6 | 8 |
3| 8 | 6 |
4| 10| 4

ANOTHER EXAMPLE: Class interval:
60-64,65-69,70-74,75-79,80-84,85
X: 62,67,72,77,82,87,92,97.
F: 2,3,6,11,8,7,2,1.
FX:
124,201,432,847,656,609,184,97. F(x-x bar)2:
561.12,414.18,273.36,33.66,84.48,4

MEANING OF THE ABOVE
EXPRESSION:
Bar means Minus on top of d
number or Variable and comma
means next line which means
each of them are unda. Eg 60-64 is unda Class interval,
then 65-69 is unda
60-64,etc .So comma means
unda.
NOTE THAT WHEN U SEE
SOMETHING LIKE THE ABOVE TWO EXAMPLES, U WILL NEED TO DRAW
A TABLE.
