STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY X

Random Variable - it represents a random variable

- a set of possible values from a random Z-Score

experiment
- it measures how many standard deviation a
Sample Space given value is above or below the mean

- the set of all possible outcomes of an Positive Z-Score

experiment
- it indicates that the score is above the mean
Random Experiment
Negative Z-Score
- a process by which we observe something
- it indicates that the score is below the mean
uncertain
P (z > a)
Outcome
- it denotes the probability that z-score is
- a result of a random experiment
greater than a
Probability Distribution
Percentile
- a table, graph or formula that describes values
- a measure of relative standing
a random variable can take on, and its
corresponding probability Population

Mean - it consists of all elements considered in a study

- it is also called the expected value of the Sampling Distribution

discrete random variable
- the probability of distribution of a statistic
Standard Deviation
Sample
- the square root of the variance
- it is the small group that are observed
Normal Curve

- it provides a graphical representation of

statistical values that are needed in describing
the characteristics of population as well in
making decisions

- the mean of a standard normal curve

- the symbol for mean

Z-Table

- the table of areas under the normal curve

II.

1. The probability of each value of the

random variable must be between or
equal to 0 and 1 -T
2. An event is a particular performance of
a random experiment - F
3. The sum of all the probabilities of the
random variable must be equal to 10 - F
4. If the mean of a random variable is 55,
then its expected value is also 55 - T
5. Z-scores are not useful in comparing
observed values - F
6. If a z-score is equal to 0, then it is on
the mean - T
7. If a z-score is equal to 1, then it is 1
standard deviation below the mean - F
8. The normal curve is bell-shaped - T
9. Every statistic is a random variable - T
10. Random sampling is a method of
choosing an equally distributed subset
from a larger population - T
