    Study Notes

    Statistics & Business

    • Fertility is the ability of a woman to produce offspring.
    • The predictable variation of time series is called a trend.
    • The mean of a Bernoulli distribution is equal to its probability of success, and the variance is equal to the product of the probability of success and the probability of failure.
    • The null hypothesis is a statement made about a population parameter that is assumed to be true.
    • A transportation problem is balanced when the total supply is equal to the total demand.

    Business Cycles

    • A business cycle is a cyclical pattern of economic activity characterized by four phases: expansion, peak, contraction (recession), and trough.

    Time Series Analysis

    • Interpolation is the process of estimating a value within a known set of data points.
    • Extrapolation is the process of estimating a value outside of a known set of data points.

    Probability Distributions

    • The mean of a hypergeometric distribution is calculated using the formula: n * a / (a + b).
    • The standard deviation of a chi-square distribution with 8 degrees of freedom is equal to the square root of 16.
    • The standard error of the sample mean is the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size.

    Estimation & Hypothesis Testing

    • Point estimation is a single-point estimate of a population parameter.
    • Interval estimation provides a range within which the true population parameter is believed to lie.

    Quality Control

    • The upper control limit (UCL) for an np-chart is calculated using the formula: np + 3 * sqrt (np(1-p)).

    Transportation Problem

    • A transportation problem is non-degenerate if the number of occupied cells (cells with non-zero allocations) is equal to the number of rows plus the number of columns minus one.

    Cost of Living Index

    • A cost of living index measures the relative cost of living in different periods.
    • To calculate the cost of living index, the weighted average of price relatives is calculated.

    Trend Analysis

    • Moving averages are used to smooth out fluctuations in data and identify the trend.
    • A straight line trend can be fitted to a time series data using the formula: Y = a + bx. This is also called linear regression.

    Population Dynamics

    • In a population, the increase in birth rate or a decrease in death rate can lead to population growth.

    Sampling Distribution

    • The sampling distribution of the sample mean is the distribution of all possible sample means of a given size.

    Decision Analysis

    • In hypothesis testing, the alternative hypothesis is the statement that is being tested against the null hypothesis.
    • Decision analysis uses a decision tree to analyze possible outcomes and associated costs, helping in decision-making.

    Linear Programming

    • A linear programming problem involves maximizing or minimizing an objective function subject to constraints.
    • In a linear programming problem, constraints are frequently expressed as inequalities like 2x + 3y ≥ 12 or 2x + y ≥ 8, indicating a minimum value for the expression, with x and y being variables.

    Applications in Business

    • Businesses use decision trees to make strategic decisions, often in conjunction with statistical analysis.
