predictions

Hello students, in this blog we are going to learn about the predictions mean guessing for something. The simple definition of the Predictions is that, it is statement that is made about the future or act of predicting (as by reasoning about the future). The act of foretelling and that which is foretold is predictions. In other words when we predict anything that means that those things will be happen in the future and generally all forecasting is based on the experience or knowledge.
A very suitable synonym for the predictions is the Forecast. But between the prediction and the forecast, there is a overlap and why it is? Let’s see....
In prediction we expect some output while forecast contains the possible outcomes.
Predictions is made for the future means we planned for future that what will be happen when several types of conditions will arises. It is not necessary that every prediction will be right some may be wrong. It can also be defined in the terms of uncertainty.
The most important example about the predictions is that some astrologers said before few years that the world will be no more after the 12 December 2012, and everyone heard this statement, but nobody knows the truth, because it is also a prediction that is based on the some knowledge and books.
Predictions can be done in every field like in science, finance, fiction, politics and in many more.
And it can be done by collecting the past and current data of that particular field that which we want to predict and for collecting data there is several methods.


I hope this information that I gave above will be truly useful for the Grade VI students.

In the next session we are going to discuss Measures of central tendency and dispersion

Collect/organize/graph data

Hello students, in this session we are going to discuss the collecting data, organize it and graphing data. Let’s take a look step by step. To organize and graph data, firstly it should be properly collected. And there are various methods to collect the data according to our requirements.
Data collections mean store the data at a particular place and also describing that how it was collected. And in data collection we get the information from many source such as from persons. By the data collections we store the information at a particular place so that we can use this information for further use. Before data collection you should know about the types of data. Data may be primary and secondary, after finding the types of data we apply the collection methods, and they are also two types grouped and Un grouped.
Methods for primary data collection are: - Data collection through investigation, Data collection through telephones and Personal investigation methods.
Methods for secondary data collection are: - Official methods include the data collection from the ministry of finance and industry by using some tools. (know more about icse board , here)
Semi official methods include the data collection from the banks, board of railway.
After collecting data we need to organize the data. To organize the data generally we use tables. Because the retrieval and insertion of data and information in table is easy than any other.
Let talk about the graph of data, to do this we use several types of graphing methods such as : - pie chart, line plot, box plot, pictograph, map chart, bar graph, line graph, stem and leaf plot, frequency polygon and histogram that are mainly used.

I hope this information that i gave above will be truly useful for the Grade VI students.
In the next session we will discuss about Measures of central tendency/dispersion.
