Uniform Distribution
P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)
1. Statistic is one of a tools used to make decisions in business. 2. General Multification
P(A and B) = P(A)P(B|A) b. Mean of the Uniform Distribution
2. Why study statistics? Used as a basic knowledge for making a decision.
3. Types of statistics : D. Classify Sample Observation
a. Descriptive Statistics 1. Contingency Table (for 2 or more characteristics)
Organize, summarize and present data 2. Tree Diagram (for conditional/joint probabilities) c. Standard Deviation of the Uniform Distribution
b. Inferential Statistics E. Bayes Theorem (is a method for revising a probability given additional information)
Analyze sample data and the results are applied to the population b. Sample Variance
Example :
4. Population VS Sample
a. Population is a collection of all possible object F. Counting Rules 3. Normal Approximation to the Binomial
b. Sample is a portion or part of the population 1. Permutation (order of arrangement) The normal distribution is generally good approximation of the binomial distribution
5. Types of Variables : 4. Standard Deviation n = total no of objects for large values of n (when nπ and n(1-π) are both greater than 5
a. Qualitative (the information is non-numeric) a. Population Standard Deviation Combination r = no of object selected Graph of this distribution 4. Correction Error
b. Quantitative (the information is numerically) 2. Combination (without regard to order) Px = 1 = 1/30-0 = 0.333 At least X occurs, use the area above (X-,5)
n = total no of objects b-a More than X occurs, use the area above (X+.5)
r = no of object selected X or fewer occurs, use the area below (X-.5)
b. Sample Standard Deviation Fewer than X occurs, use the area below (X+.5)
CHAPTER 6 : Discrete Probability Distributions 5. Exponential Probability Distribution
1. Probability Distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the Characters : positively skewed, not symmetric, usually describes inter-interval
probability associated with each outcomes situations
Show the area of this distribution is 1.00
C. Grouped Data : 2. Characteristics : outcome between 0 and 1 inclusive, outcomes are mutually e.g : the time until the next phone call arrives in CS
λx
1. The Mean of Grouped Data exclusive, list is exhaustive. So the sum of event is equal 1. Formula : P(X) = λe-
-λx
3. Random Variables (result from experiment that assume diff values) P(arrival time < x) = 1-e
Mean waiting time
a. Discrete Random Variables can assume only certain separated values. Result of Example :
counting something. e.g : no of students in class
6. Four level of measurement : b. Continuous Random Variables an infinite no of values within range. Result of
a. Nominal (the data have no order) Standard deviation of waiting time
measurement. e.g : the weight of each student
b. Ordinal (data arranged in some order) 4. Mean of Probability Distribution
c. Interval Level (there’s no natural zero point)
d. Ratio (zero as a starting point) Probability the student will wait > 25 mins
4. Central Limit Theorem (if all samples are selected from any population, the
2. Median (the midpoint of the value) B. Addition for Computing Probability sampling distribution mean only a normal distribution)
3. Mode (The value that appears most frequently) 1. Special Addition (Mutually Exclusive) 5. Standard Error of the Mean (Known Sigma)
4. Relative Positions of Mean, Median Mode P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) The mean of the distribution sample will exactly equal to population mean
a. Zero Skewness (mode = median = mean)
b. Positive Skewness (mode < median < mean) Example 2 :
c. Negative Skewness (mode > median > mean)
Example :
9. Poisson Probability Distribution
Characters : event occurs during a specified interval (time, distance, area, volume),
the interval are independent, the probability is proportional to the length of the Example 3 :
2. General Addition (Not Mutually Exclusive)
B. Measure of Dispersion : P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) interval.
1. Range e.g : the no of vehicles sold per day, the no of calls per hour
Range = Largest value – Smallest value
2. Mean Deviation 3. The Complement of Addition
MD = ∑|X – X| (x = value of each observation) P(A) = 1-P(~A) Example :
n (x = arithmetic mean of x values) Example 4 :
(n = number of sample)
Example :
b. Population Proportion
c. Example
8. Testing a Mean
