Cambridge Igcse Mathematics Answers: Handling Data

This document provides examples and solutions for probability and statistics questions related to collecting and representing data, measures of central tendency and spread, histograms, probability, the multiplication rule for dependent events, and the addition and multiplication rules. Some key examples include calculating the mode, mean and median of data sets. Drawing histograms and frequency polygons to represent data distributions. Calculating probabilities of single and combined events. Applying the multiplication rule for dependent events and the addition and multiplication rules for probabilities.
