Probability Concepts and Standard Normal Distribution

Probability of Events

Calculating Probability

  1. Define the experiment and observation process.
  2. List the sample space (SP).
  3. Assign probabilities to each outcome in the SP.
  4. Identify the outcomes within the event of interest.
  5. Sum the probabilities of those outcomes.

Set Operations

  • Union (A u B): Occurs if either A, B, or both occur. Includes all outcomes in A or B or both.
  • Intersection (A n B): Occurs if both A and B occur. Includes outcomes common to both A and B.
  • Complement (A^c): Occurs if A does not occur.

Statistics: Regression Analysis, Sampling Methods, and Quantitative Research

Regression Analysis

Regression table:

Multiple R: coefficient of correlation (0,0995) → 9,95% of variability in BMI (Y) is connected with 9,95% of the variability in age (X).

R square: coefficient of determination (0,0099) → 0,99% of variance in BMI (Y) is explained by our regression model.

St error in kg/m2: the prediction of the BMI (X) made using our model will different from reality by around 5,677 kg/m2.

Obs: we have a total of 400 obs in our model.

Intercept (B0)

Coefficients:  if the age will

Understanding Statistics: Techniques, Methods, and Analysis

Statistics

S: refers to the body of techniques used for collecting, organizing & interpreting data. Data may be quantitative, with values expressed numerically or qualitative with characteristics being tabulated. S is used in bs to help make better decisions by understanding variation & relationships in data.

Descriptive Statistics

Techniques that are used to summarize & describe numerical data for the purpose of easier interpretation (can be graphical or involve computational analysis)

Understanding Statistical Studies: Definitions and Methods

Individuals and Variables

Individuals are objects described by a set of data (people, objects, or animals).

Variable – any characteristic of an individual. Can take different values for different individuals.
Observational Study – observes individuals and measures variables of interest but does not intervene to influence the responses (describes some group or situation).
Sample Survey – studying some of its members, selected not because they are of special interest but because they represent the larger
