Revision Formulas and Notes Forexam II - MAT 210
Statistical Terminology:
o Population: Entire set of subjects or items under study
o Sample: Subset or part of the population
Sample size
o 4 sampling techniques:
Random
Systematic
Cluster
Stratified
o Variables
Quantitative: could be measured by numerical values
Discrete: Measured one by one- no decimals
Continuous: Measured in intervals- decimals included
Qualitative: could not be measured by numerical values
Nominal: no order
Ordinal: given order, rank, or hierarchy
Discrete Probability:
𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠
o Basic Definition: 𝑃 (𝐸 ) = 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠
∑ 𝑃(𝐸 ) = 1 & 0 ≤ 𝑃(𝐸) ≤ 1
o Complimentary Event: 𝑃(𝐸̅ ) = 1 − 𝑃(𝐸)
o Union:
o Mutually exclusive: 𝑃 (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 ) = 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃(𝐵)
o Mutually inclusive: 𝑃 (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 ) = 𝑃(𝐴) + 𝑃 (𝐵 ) − 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)
Note: 𝑃 (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 ) = 𝑃 (𝐵 ∪ 𝐴)
o Intersection:
o Independent: 𝑃 (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 ) = 𝑃 (𝐴) × 𝑃(𝐵)
o Dependent: 𝑃 (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 ) = 𝑃(𝐵/𝐴) × 𝑃 (𝐴)
Or 𝑃 (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 ) = 𝑃 (𝐴/𝐵 ) × 𝑃(𝐵 )
Note: 𝑃 (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 ) = 𝑃 (𝐵 ∩ 𝐴)
o Conditional Probability formula:
𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)
(
𝑃 𝐴/𝐵 = )
𝑃(𝐵)
o Bayes’ Theorem: (can be done using the tree diagram):

b. μ𝑦 = 𝑦̅ = 𝐸(𝑦) = ∑ 𝑦ℎ(𝑦)

a. σ2 𝑥 = 𝐸(𝑥 2 ) − [𝐸(𝑥)]2 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝐸(𝑥 2 ) = ∑ 𝑥 2 𝑔(𝑥)
b. σ2 𝑦 = 𝐸(𝑦 2 ) − [𝐸(𝑦)]2 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝐸(𝑦 2 ) = ∑ 𝑦 2 ℎ(𝑦)
c. σ 𝑥𝑦 = 𝐸(𝑥𝑦) − 𝐸(𝑥). 𝐸(𝑦)
Continuous Case: Rules:
1- f(x,y) should be given with a domain
2- The probability distribution (which is a table showing x & y and f(x,y)) could not
be constructed
