Statistics — IGCSE Mathematics (0580) questions by topic
Statistics questions ask you to complete a frequency table and bar chart from a letter-count survey, find the median from a short list of values, complete a tally and frequency table for days a shop was open, and read grouped frequency data on 140 basketball players' heights. Find, calculate, draw, state and complete cover both reading data accurately from a table or chart and calculating summary values such as the median correctly.
52 questions from 2023 to 2025 sit on this page, worth between 1 and 18 marks. Because a single miscounted tally mark or misread class boundary throws off every calculation built on it, submitting your working for instant marking flags that error at the table stage, rather than it quietly propagating into a wrong median or a mismatched bar height later on.
