Study Notes
Fundamental Counting Principle
- The fundamental counting principle determines the total possible outcomes from multiple events.
- The number of outcomes from separate events is found by multiplying the number of sample points for each event.
- This is helpful for finding total options in choices involving clothing, meals, or other groupings.
Scatterplots and Correlation
- Scatterplots are graphs showing data points.
- Correlation describes the relationship between variables (x, y, etc.).
- Strength of correlation measures how well data points match a line of best fit (perfect, strong, weak).
- Direction of correlation shows if the data trends upward (positive) or downward (negative) from left to right.
- Scatterplots can also show no association, meaning no relationship.
Measures of Central Tendency and Range
- Mean: The arithmetic average of a dataset. Calculated by summing values and dividing by the count.
- Median: The middle value in a sorted dataset.
- Mode: The value appearing most frequently in a dataset.
- Range: The difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset. This represents the data's spread.
Permutations and Combinations
- Permutations: Order matters in arrangements.
- Combinations: Order does not matter.
- Permutation and combination formulas vary depending on whether repetition is allowed.
Probability
- A trial is a single instance of a repeatable experiment. An outcome is the result of a trial. An event is multiple trials or an outcome.
- Calculate probability of an event using the number of ways an event can occur divided by total possible outcomes.
- Probability is between 0 and 1, with 0 meaning impossible and 1 meaning certain.
- Simple events have a single outcome. Compound events have multiple outcomes -- probabilities are calculated by multiplying probabilities of component/individual outcomes .
Probability of Independent Events and Multiple Trials
- Independent events' probabilities are not affected by others.
- Multiplication rule finds the probability of several independent events occurring.
- Calculation for probability of at least one event occurring, via the at least once rule considers complementary.
Body Systems
- A body system is a group of organs working together for a particular function.
- Ten systems in the human body (musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, integumentary, digestive, urinary, reproductive).
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis maintains body parameters at optimal levels.
- Feedback loops monitor conditions and trigger changes via nervous system control.
- Negative feedback loops restore a level back to normal. Positive feedback loops enhance an existing condition.
- Homeostasis involves receptors, control centers, and effectors.
Nutrition
- Nutrition is the study of nutrients for body maintenance and function.
- Nutrients provide energy and allow for bodily functions and growth.
- Food intake involves oral, enteral (nasogastric tube), and parenteral (catheter) methods.
- Macronutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, water) and micronutrients (minerals, vitamins) are needed.
- Autotrophic nutrition (making own food - photosynthesis) vs heterotrophic nutrition (consuming other organisms).
Pathogens
- Pathogens are disease-causing agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, helminths, prions).
- Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotes treated with antibiotics (if not resistant). Viruses and prions are not living, treated by vaccines or symptom management.
- Fungi and protozoans are eukaryotes; treated by anti-fungals and anti-parasitic drugs respectively
- Helminths are multicellular worms treated with deworming and antibiotics.
Communicable Diseases
- Communicable diseases spread from person to person.
- Historically, diseases like the bubonic plague and Spanish flu caused great mortality.
- Modern examples like H1N1 and HIV highlight the importance of preventive measures.
Disease Prevention and Control
- Vaccines prevent disease by strengthening immune responses with weakened or part pathogens.
- Antiseptics kill microbes on living tissue, disinfectants on inanimate surfaces, and sterilants kill all microbes on inanimate surfaces.
- Vector control eradicates disease vectors. Sanitation promotes public health.
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy.
- Chlorophyll absorbs light for photosynthesis in chloroplasts.
- Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
Respiration
- Respiration involves breathing and converting food to energy.
- Cellular respiration can be aerobic (needs oxygen) or anaerobic (doesn't need oxygen).
- Anaerobic respiration involves fermentation (lactic acid or alcoholic).
- Aerobic respiration comprises glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, creating energy in ATP form.
