Statistics
Sum of all data values (x, #2. X3- +.)
‘n= number of data values
Mode
Place data in ascending order.
Mode = most frequently occurring value
If two values occur at the maxim um frequency the
data set is bimodal.
If three or more values occur at the maximum
frequency the data set is rmultimodal.
XGj- 0?
n
individual data value (x, X2. x3...)
= mean value
‘n= number of data values
‘Standard Deviation
‘Median
Place data in ascending order.
nis odd, median = central value
mis even, median = mean of two central values
= number of data values
Probability
Independent Events
Frequency
{, = relative frequency of outcome x
‘x, = number of events with outcome x
n= total number of events
P= probability of outcome x
fa = frequency of all events
P (Aand B and C) = PaPsPc
P (Aand B and C) = probabiliy of independent
events A and B and C occurring in sequence:
Px = probability of event A
= nea")
* elloek
P, = binomial probability of k successes in n tials
P = probability of a success
= 1—p= probability of failure
k = number of successes
11 = number of trials
PB
Binomial Probability (order doesn't matter)
Mutually Exclusive Events
P(AorB)=Pq+ Py
P (Aor B) = probabiliy of either mutually exclusive
event Aor B occurring in a tial
probability of event A
