Study Notes
Descriptive Statistical Measures
- Measures of central tendency describe the location of data.
- Common measures include arithmetic mean, median, and mode.
Arithmetic Mean
- The sample mean (average) is calculated by summing all data points and dividing by the total number of data points.
- Formula: X = (X₁ + X₂ + ... + Xₙ) / n
Examples of Arithmetic Mean Calculations
- The mean of 9, 3, 7, 3, 8, 10, 2 is 6
- The average of 96, 94, 72, 52, 56 marks is 74
Properties of Arithmetic Mean
- A unique mean exists for a given dataset
- Easy to calculate
- Affected by extreme values, making it potentially not entirely representative of the majority of data
Median
- The median is the middle value in a sorted dataset.
- In an odd-sized dataset, the median is the middle value.
- In an even-sized dataset, the median is the average of the two middle values.
Mode
- The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a dataset.
- A dataset can have multiple modes or no mode.
Measures of Variation (Dispersion)
- Dispersion statistics summarize the spread or scatter of data.
- Common measures of dispersion include range, variance, standard deviation, interquartile range, and interpercentile range.
Range
- Range = maximum observation – minimum observation
Examples of Range Calculations
- Range of 13, 18, 13, 14, 16, 14, 21, 13 is 8
- If Jordan's hottest temperature was 39.2° and range is 40.7°, the coldest temp is -1.5°
Variance
- Formula for sample variance S2 = Σᵢ=₁ (xᵢ-X)² / (n-1) Where: xᵢ = each data point X = sample mean n = total number of values
Standard Deviation
- Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
- Formula: √S² = s
Quartiles, Deciles, and Percentiles
- Quartiles divide data into four equal parts.
- First quartile (Q1) is the 25th percentile.
- Second quartile (Q2) is the 50th percentile, which is the median.
- Third quartile (Q3) is the 75th percentile.
- Deciles divide data into 10 equal parts.
- Percentiles divide data into 100 equal parts.
Interquartile Range (IQR)
- IQR = Q3 − Q1
Interpercentile Range (IPR)
- IPR = pₙ − pₘ Where pₙ and pₘ represent the nth and mth percentile, respectively
Coefficient of Variation (CV)
- Formula: CV = (s / x̄) * 100 Where s = sample standard deviation and x̄ = sample mean
Counting Techniques
- Product rule: The total number of ways to complete a sequence of steps is the product of the number of ways to complete each step if the choice of each step is not conditional upon previous steps.
- Permutations: An arrangement of objects where order matters without repetition
- Combinations: An arrangement of objects where order does not matter without repetition
Factorials
- n! (n factorial) is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n.
- 0! = 1
Sample Space and Events
- Sample space (Ω) is the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment.
- An event is a subset of the sample space.
- Empty set (Ø) and the sample space (Ω) are considered events.
Conditional Probability
- The probability of event A given event B is P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B) P(A|B) = Probability of event A occurring given event B occurred
Independent Events
- A and B are independent if and only if P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B)
