of confidence, sometimes expressed as a fraction or a
percentage.

E
P=
S

Complementary Probability
PA = 1 – P(not A)
Joint Probability
 Mutually Exclusive Event Without Common Outcome:
PA or B = PA + PB

 Non-Mutually Exclusive Event With Common

Outcome:
PA or B = PA + PB – PA&B
Conditional Probability
PA & B = PA x PB/A

 Non-Mutually Exclusive Event With Common

Outcome:
PA or B = PA + PB – PA&B
Independent Probability
PA & B = PA x PB

Repeated Trials Probability (Binomial):

The probability that an event will occur exactly “r”
times out of n trials is:

P = nCr pr qn-r p+q=1

- is the study of the collection,
organization, analysis, interpretation and
presentation of data. It deals with all
aspects of data including the planning of
data collection in terms of the design
of surveys and experiments.
Median:
Derived from the Latin medius, meaning
middle. The median is the middle number of
a set of numbers arranged in numerical
order.
Mode:
The mode is the value which occurs most
frequently in a given distribution.
 Unimodal is a distribution with only one mode.
 Bimodal is a distribution with two modes.
 Multimodal is a distribution with more than two
modes.

Mean:
The mean (M) sometimes called the arithmetic
mean is popularly known as the average. It is the
sum of scores divided by the number of cases.
Range:
The range is the difference between the largest
and the smallest values of a set.

Variance:
The variance is the average of the squared
deviation from the mean.

σ x−M 2 where,
V=
n V = variance
n = number of scores
Population Variance
M = mean
σ x−M
2 x = data
V=

Standard Deviation:
The standard deviation (σ) is the square root of
the variance.

σ= V

Relative Variability:
Relative variability is defined to be the quotient
obtained by dividing the standard deviation by the
mean.

The Z – Score:
The Z – Score is a measure of position that takes
into account both the center and the dispersion of
