Study Notes
Binary Operations
- Addition and Multiplication of real numbers are commutative. The order doesn't matter.
- Identity Element: Zero (0) is the identity element for addition; One (1) is the identity element for multiplication.
- Inverse of Addition: For any real number x (e.g., 5), its additive inverse is -x (e.g., -5).
- Associativity: For any three real numbers, you can group them in any order and still get the same result. Example: (x + y) + z = x + (y + z).
Logic and Reasoning
- Inductive Reasoning: Drawing conclusions based on observations. Conjectures may be valid or uncertain.
- Deductive Reasoning: Reaching conclusions using known facts. Conjectures are typically valid and certain.
- Hypothetical Syllogism: A fundamental rule of inference in logic, closely related to Modus Ponens.
- Categorical Syllogism: A type of syllogism that uses quantifiers (all, some, none) to describe relationships between categories.
- Modus Ponens: States that if P implies Q, and P is true, then Q is also true.
- Modus Tollens: If P implies Q, and Q is false, then P must also be false.
Inferential Statistics
- Inferential Statistics: Utilizes analysis and interpretation of data to draw conclusions and make predictions.
- Sample Size Determination Formula: n = N / (1 + N * e²)
- n = sample size
- N = population size
- e = desired margin of error (typically 0.05 or 5%)
- Population: The complete set of individuals or objects being studied.
- Sample: A subset of the population selected to represent the larger group in a research study.
Applications of Inferential Statistics
- Percentage Passed in an Examination: Calculating the percentage of students who passed an exam.
- Predicting Future Sales: Using past sales data to estimate future sales performance.
- Estimating Election Outcomes: Conducting opinion polls to gauge a politician's chances of winning an election.
