Study Notes
Simple Random Sampling
- Individuals are chosen randomly from the population
- Every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected
- Ensures a representative sample
Stratified Sampling
- Population is divided into subgroups (strata)
- Random samples are taken from each subgroup
- Ensures representation of all subgroups
Cluster Sampling
- Population is divided into clusters
- Random clusters are selected
- All individuals within selected clusters are included in the sample
- Useful when clusters are readily available
Convenience Sampling
- Individuals are selected based on ease of access
- Not representative of the entire population
- Limited generalizability
Systematic Sampling
- Every nth individual is selected from the population starting with a randomly selected individual
- Can be more efficient than other methods
- May introduce bias if there's a repeating pattern in the population
Self-Selected Sampling
- Individuals volunteer to participate in the study
- Not representative of the entire population
- Potential bias due to motivation of volunteers
Sampling Methods for Data Collection
- Used to gather information about a population
- Important for accurate study conclusions
- Proper sampling methods assure representativeness
Probability Distributions
- Different types of probability distributions exist
- Used for describing data and predicting outcomes
- Essential for statistics
Binomial Distributions
- Probability distribution for the number of successes in a fixed number of trials
- Each trial has two possible outcomes (success or failure)
- Probability of success is constant for each trial
- Trials are independent
Standard Normal Distribution
- Symmetrical, bell-shaped curve
- Used to describe continuous data
- Mean and standard deviation are used to define
- Represents a special case of normal probability distribution.
Polynomial Equations and Methods
- Used to solve equations involving variables raised to different powers
- Polynomial long division to divide polynomials by polynomials
- Factoring to simplify
- Used to find areas under curves when represented in diagrams
- Finding roots from graphs or equations
Polynomial Division
- Dividing polynomials by other polynomials
- May result in a quotient and remainder
- Used to break down complex expressions
- Finding roots from graphs or equations
Difference of Squares
- Formula used for factoring the difference of two squares
- Important technique to simplify expressions
- Ex: a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)
Sum and Difference of Cubes
- Formulas for factoring sums and differences of cubes
- Crucial for simplifying expressions and solving equations
- Ex: a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
- Ex: a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)
