population


Give this one a try later!


is a collection of all possible individuals, objects, or measurements of
interest.




Empirical Rule

,Give this one a try later!


The rules gives the approximate % of observations w/in 1 standard
deviation (68%), 2 standard deviations (95%) and 3 standard deviations
(99.7%) of the mean when the histogram is well approx. by a normal curve
add or subtract the std. dev from the mean to get your data points left and
right




Subjective Method


Give this one a try later!


Assigning probabilities based on judgment or whatever information
available




permutation


Give this one a try later!


An arrangement, or listing, of objects in which order is important.
N = # of objects
n = # of spaces
Fitting "N" objects into "n" spots if the order is important




Discrete variables


Give this one a try later!


can only assume certain values and there are usually "gaps" between
values. EXAMPLE: the number of bedrooms in a house or the number of

, hammers sold at the local Home Depot (1,2,3,...,etc.)




Coefficient of Variation


Give this one a try later!


The coefficient of variation indicates how large the standard deviation is in
relation to the mean
it shows the std. dev percentage of the mean




complement of an event


Give this one a try later!


All possible outcomes that are not in the event

example: A sales manager reports that 80% of new customer contacts
result in no sale.


P(A)=1- P(Ac)=1-0.80=0.20

A new customer contact has a 0.20 probability of resulting in a sale.




Boxplot


Give this one a try later!

, displays the 5-number summary as a central box with whiskers that extend
to the non-outlying data values- your max and min




The three commonly used graphic forms are:

- Dot plots
- Histograms
- Frequency polygons
- Cumulative frequency




observation


Give this one a try later!


The set of measurements obtained for a particular element
A data set with n elements contains n observations




Permutations and combinations


Give this one a try later!


Probability is a function, n which takes an experimental outcome A in the
sample space S as an input and gives a number P(A) between 0 and 1 as an
output.
