CHAPTER 01 Introduction to Statistics for Economics Quick understanding Use statistics to turn economic observations into organised evidence while recognising its limits. Core points Check your learning Data support description, comparison and policy Identify variables in a household study. reasoning. Explain two uses and two limitations of Statistics deals with aggregates and requires statistics. context. A numerical result does not by itself establish cause. One-line recall Data support description, comparison and policy reasoning. PADIKAM | KERALA CLASS 11 3

CHAPTER 02 Collection of Data Quick understanding Plan primary or secondary data collection with clear objectives, population, sample and method. Core points Check your learning A census covers every unit; a sample studies Design five survey questions for a stated selected units. objective. Question wording and selection method can Compare random and non-random introduce bias. sampling. Secondary data must be checked for suitability and reliability. One-line recall A census covers every unit; a sample studies selected units. PADIKAM | KERALA CLASS 11 4

CHAPTER 03 Organisation of Data Quick understanding Classify raw observations into arrays and frequency distributions that reveal pattern. Core points Check your learning Variables may be qualitative or quantitative, discrete Construct a grouped frequency table. or continuous. Convert inclusive classes to continuous Class intervals should be clear and non-overlapping. intervals. Cumulative frequency supports positional interpretation. One-line recall Variables may be qualitative or quantitative, discrete or continuous. PADIKAM | KERALA CLASS 11 5

CHAPTER 04 Presentation of Data Quick understanding Present data through tables, diagrams and graphs chosen for the question being answered. Core points Check your learning Tables need title, headings, units and source. Choose and draw an appropriate presentation. Bar diagrams compare categories; histograms represent continuous frequency. Critique a graph with a truncated or unclear axis. A misleading scale can distort interpretation. One-line recall Tables need title, headings, units and source. PADIKAM | KERALA CLASS 11 6

CHAPTER 05 Measures of Central Tendency Quick understanding Summarise a distribution using arithmetic mean, median or mode according to the data and purpose. Core points Check your learning Mean uses every value but is affected by extremes. Find mean, median and mode for grouped data. Median is positional and suits skewed data. Choose the best average for income or Mode identifies the most frequent value or category. shoe-size data. Equation and notation Mean = Sum of observations / Number of observations Median locates the N/2th cumulative item SYMBOLS AND UNITS N: number of observations or total frequency Mean: in the same unit as the observations Median: middle positional value in ordered data One-line recall Mean uses every value but is affected by extremes.

CHAPTER 06 Correlation Quick understanding Measure the direction and strength of association between two variables without assuming causation. Core points Check your learning Positive and negative describe direction. Interpret four scatter plots. Scatter diagrams show form and unusual Calculate and explain a rank correlation. observations. Correlation near zero may still hide a non-linear relation. Equation and notation Spearman rank correlation: r = 1 - 6 Sum(d^2) / n(n^2 - 1) SYMBOLS AND UNITS r: Spearman rank-correlation coefficient, d: difference between paired ranks dimensionless n: number of paired observations One-line recall Positive and negative describe direction. PADIKAM | KERALA CLASS 11 8

CHAPTER 07 Index Numbers Quick understanding Compare change over time through price, quantity or value indices built from a base period. Core points Check your learning The base year should be normal and relevant. Construct a simple aggregative price index. Weights reflect relative importance. Interpret an index value of 128. Consumer price indices connect prices with cost of living. One-line recall The base year should be normal and relevant. PADIKAM | KERALA CLASS 11 9

CHAPTER 08 Use of Statistical Tools Quick understanding Integrate data collection, classification, presentation and summary to answer an economic question. Core points Check your learning Begin with a precise question and operational Plan a mini-project on local prices or definitions. employment. Method should be transparent enough to repeat. Write a finding, limitation and follow-up question. Conclusions must stay within the evidence. One-line recall Begin with a precise question and operational definitions. PADIKAM | KERALA CLASS 11 10

CHAPTER 09 Indian Economy on the Eve of Independence Quick understanding Examine the colonial structure inherited in 1947 across agriculture, industry, trade, population and infrastructure. Core points Check your learning Colonial policy served imperial priorities. Explain the composition of colonial foreign trade. Agriculture had low productivity and unequal land relations.
