A statistical measure that divides a dataset into four equal parts.

An average that measures the average absolute deviation of each data point from the mean.

A statistical method that analyzes data collected over time to identify patterns, trends, and seasonal variations.

A numerical representation of the relative change in a variable over time.

A statistical measure that describes the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables.

A straight line that best represents the linear relationship between two variables.

A measure of the likelihood of an event occurring.

Probability distributions that describe the probability of different outcomes for a random variable.

Spearman's rank correlation coefficient measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, ranked in order, while Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient measures the linear relationship between two variables. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient is less sensitive to outliers and can be used for non-linear relationships.

The coefficient of variable X in a supply regression represents the change in quantity supplied for every one-unit change in price. In this equation, Y=0-025+1.5X, a 1-rupee increase in price (X) will result in a 1.5 kilo increase in supply (Y).

The additional law states that the probability of event A or B happening is the sum of the probabilities of each event minus the probability of both events happening. The multiplication law states that the probability of event A and B happening is the product of the probability of event A happening and the probability of event B happening given that event A already happened. Bayes' theorem combines prior knowledge with new evidence to calculate the probability of an event. It is a fundamental principle in probability and statistics, used in various applications, including medical diagnosis, spam filtering, and financial analysis.

Descriptive analytics summarizes past data to gain insights, while predictive analytics uses historical data to forecast future trends and outcomes. Descriptive analytics focuses on 'what happened,' while predictive analytics focuses on 'what might happen.'

Standard normal distribution is used to calculate the probability of various heights based on the mean and variance. The z-score indicates how many standard deviations an observation lies from the mean. This allows you to calculate the probability of a soldier being over six feet (or any height above/below the mean) in a regiment of 1000 soldiers.
