Example Dataset
An example of the data we might have collected in the previous video is
shown here:
June 15 Thursday 5 No
If 5 individuals visit our website, the first spend 10 minutes, the second
spends 20 minutes, the third spend 45 mins, the fourth spends 12 minutes,
and the fifth spends 8 minutes; we can notate this problem in the following
way:
Example 2
Taking this one step further, we could ask:
What is the probability someone spends more than 20 minutes in our
website?
We could find this in the above example by noticing that only one of the 5
observations exceeds 20. So, we would say there is a 1 (the 45) in 5 or
20% chance that an individual spends more than 20 minutes on our website
(based on this dataset).
Example 3
If we asked: What is the probability of an individual spending 20 or more
minutes on our website? We could notate this as:
P(X ≥≥ 20)?
We could then find this by noticing there are two out of the five individuals that
spent 20 or more minutes on the website. So this probability is 2 out of 5 or
40%.
