Study Notes
Descriptive Statistics and Probability
- Jacob deGrom's pitch speed in a baseball game was 101 mph with a standard deviation of 6 mph, which means at least 75% of his pitches are between 89 to 113 mph.
- A hotel's shuttle time has a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 14 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.7 minutes.
Data Types and Sampling
- Temperature is a quantitative variable, while sex is a qualitative variable.
- A dataset collected from 20 patients out of 50 is a sample, not a population.
- A survey of 370 registered voters in Georgia is a sample, and the 23% who plan to vote is a statistic.
Measures of Central Tendency and Relative Frequency
- The relative frequency for students who scored a C in a statistics exam is calculated by dividing the number of students who scored a C (85) by the total number of students (150).
- To find the relative frequency, divide the frequency of each category by the total number of observations.
Sampling Methods
- UCF is using a cluster sampling method by selecting 8 sports teams and collecting the GPA from each student athlete.
Distribution and Skewness
- In a right-skewed distribution, the mean tends to be higher than the median.
Proportions and Probability
- To find the proportion of students who responded that apple was the nicest fruit, divide the number of students who chose apple by the total number of students.
- The proportion of rent payments between $100 and $2100 is at least 95% of the average rent payment in Orlando.
Experiment and Observational Study
- The teacher's study on the effect of Khan Academy on quiz grades is an experiment because the teacher assigns the classes to the Khan Academy conditions.
Z-Scores
- A z-score of -1.4 for the giraffe's height means it is 1.4 standard deviations below the mean height of 20 ft.
