GCSE Maths Higher Formula Sheet Stratified Sampling

These formulae are not given to you and you need to know them The frequency for a group in a
stratified sample is

If x is directly proportional to yn
then Quadratic Sequences
𝑥 ∝ 𝑦𝑛 so 𝑥 = 𝑘𝑦 𝑛
The nth term of a quadratic sequence is in the
If x is inversely proportional to yn form an2 + bn + c, where
then
1 𝑘 2a = 2nd difference
𝑥∝ 𝑛 so 𝑥= 𝑛
𝑦 𝑦 3a + b = 1st difference (between 1st and 2nd term)
a + b + c = 1st term in the sequence
