Distribution - GCSE Maths Definition

In GCSE Maths, distribution refers to the way numbers or data are spread out or arranged within a group. Imagine you have a bunch of test scores; the distribution would tell you how many students got each score, how those scores are spread from lowest to highest, and if there are more scores at one end or in the middle. Understanding distribution helps us see patterns in data, like whether most students scored really well or if the scores were all spread out differently. It's like organising and looking at data to understand what it tells us about the real world.
