Study Notes
Example Data
- Sample data may include numerical values, names, dates, or other information.
- Data sets may be organized in tables, lists or other formats.
- Specific values or characteristics of the data might be highlighted.
Statistical Concepts
- Probabilities (P): Expressed as a fraction or a percentage.
- Probability distributions: Represent the likelihood of different outcomes.
- Poisson distribution: A discrete probability distribution for the number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space if these events occur with a known average rate and independently of the time since the last event.
- Binomial distribution: A discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a number of successes in a fixed number of independent trials.
- Z-scores: Represent the distance of a data point from the mean in terms of standard deviations.
- Margin of Error: The amount of uncertainty in a sample estimate.
- Confidence Interval: The range of values within which the true population mean is likely to fall with a specified confidence level.
- Hypothesis tests: Statistical procedures for testing claims or hypotheses about population parameters.
- Hypothesis testing: Used to determine if there is significant evidence for or against a particular claim or hypothesis.
Statistical Formulas
- Formulas for calculating probabilities (e.g., binomial, Poisson, normal).
- Standard Deviation (σ) and Variance (σ^2).
- Z-score calculation formula (z = (x - μ) / σ)
- Confidence Interval calculation formula.
- Chi-square test calculation formula.
Data Analysis Techniques
- Correlation analysis: Used to determine relationships between variables.
- Regression analysis: Determines the mathematical relationship between a dependent and one or more independent variables.
- Scatter diagrams: used to visualize relationships between variables.
- Hypothesis tests: to decide when there is enough evidence to reject a particular claim or hypothesis about population parameters.
