Lesson 1. Normal Distribution

Highlights

A. Describe a normal distribution.

- is a probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that
data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the
mean.

B. State and explain the Empirical Rule.

- it is a shorthand used to remember percentage of values that lies within an
interval estimate in a normal distribution, often as 68%, 95%, and 99.7%.

C. State and explain the Central Limit Theorem

- The Central Limit Theorem states that the distribution of sample means
approximates a normal distribution as the sample size gets larger, regardless
of the population’s distribution.

Lesson 2. Regression and Correlation

Highlights

A. Correlation Analysis
1. What is Correlation Analysis?
- is a statistical method used to measure the strength of the linear relationship
between two variables and compute their association. In other words,
correlation analysis calculates the level of change I none variable due to the
change in the other.

2. How is correlation measured and how is the how interpreted?

- It is measured on a scale from +1 through 0 to -1, while indicating that
changes in one variable are associated with changes in the other variable.

B. Regression Analysis
1. What is Regression Analysis?
- Regression analysis is a powerful statistical method that allows you to
examine the relationship between two or more variables of interest.

2. What is a Least-Squares Line?

- it is the line that makes the vertical distance from the data points to the
regression line as small as possible. It’s also called a “least squares” because
the best line of fit is one that minimizes the variance.
