Study Notes
Descriptive Statistics
- Defines descriptive statistics as methods to summarize and describe data using measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and dispersion (variance, standard deviation, range).
- Provides an example of a company recording weights of 5 products (10g, 12g, 15g, 10g, 13g).
- Calculates the mean (12g), median (12g), and mode (10g) for the data set.
Probability Distributions
- Defines probability distributions as methods to describe how probabilities are distributed over the values of a random variable.
- Gives a discrete example where a machine has a 10% defect rate and calculates the probability of exactly one defective part from 3 tested parts (using binomial distribution).
- Presents a continuous example where heights follow a normal distribution (mean 170 cm, standard deviation 5 cm), and calculates the probability of a height between 165 and 175 cm.
Correlation and Regression
- Defines correlation as measuring the linear relationship (strength and direction) between variables, values range from -1 to 1.
- Defines regression as modeling relationships between variables using equations like Y = β₀ + β₁X.
- Provides an example of how hours studied relates to test scores (correlation = 1, perfect positive).
- Explains how to use the regression line (y = 10x + 30) to find predicted scores given study hours.
Hypothesis Testing
- Defines hypothesis testing as a method to test claims about population parameters.
- Gives an example where a factory claims an average daily production of 100 units/day.
- A sample of 50 days resulted in an average of 98 units produced per day (with standard deviation of 5).
- A significance level (alpha) of 0.05 was used to analyze if the claim made by the factory is valid against the sample data. A test statistic for this was calculated.
Confidence Intervals
- Defines confidence intervals as a range of values that likely contains the true population parameter.
- Gives an example where the sample mean is 50, population standard deviation is 5, sample size is 25, and the significance level is 0.05.
- Provides a 95% confidence interval calculation for the true population mean.
Descriptive Statistics and Presentation
- Explains that descriptive statistics involve measures of central tendency, dispersion, and visualization methods (like bar charts or histograms).
Probability Distributions (Discrete)
- Shows an example with a die rolled 10 times, and the probability of rolling a "6" exactly two times is calculated using combinations and probability.
Probability Distributions (Continuous)
- Provides examples related to battery life using an exponential distribution.
Correlation and Regression (Example)
- Includes an example with hours studied vs. test scores, showcasing how to calculate correlation and create a regression line.
Hypothesis Testing (Example)
- Illustrates an example of hypothesis testing for a company claiming a defect rate of 5%, with a sample of 100 parts showing 10 defects.
Control Charts
- Presents an example related to control charts, calculating upper control limits (UCL) and lower control limits (LCL) for an X-bar chart.
