Statistics Relative frequency = frequency total Relative frequency in% = freq total x100 To find the increasing cumulative frequency, we start with the first frequency the same, then add the frequency of the next value to get the I.C.F. of the second value, then add the resulting I.C.F. to the frequency of the third value to get the new I.C.F. and so on. To construct the circle diagram, find the central angle of each value: Central angle = freq total x 360 Mean (average) denote by x: x = x1f1+xf. total frequecy

Semi equilateral triangle: (90,60,30) Leg facing 30 = hyp Leg facing 60 = hyp 3 In an isosceles triangle, the median issued from the vertex is the same as the height, angular bisector, perpendicular bisector.
