Complete Semester Guide
High-Yield Comprehensive Guide, MLE Derivations, Student's t Hypothesis
Testing Traces & Quick-Cram Appendix
Applied Mathematics & Statistics | Course Code: University Of California - Berkeley - STAT
134 / DATA 8 | 2024-2025 Comprehensive Edition
📘 WHAT’S INSIDE THIS GUIDE:
✔ Probability Distributions: PMF/PDF formulas, expected values, variances, and memoryless
properties across all 7 classical families
✔ WORKED STEP-BY-STEP PROBLEM: Full mathematical derivation of Maximum Likelihood
Estimator (MLE) for Exponential distribution parameter lambda
✔ The Central Limit Theorem (CLT) & Asymptotic Normality: Bounds on sample mean convergence
and Laws of Large Numbers (LLN)
✔ WORKED STEP-BY-STEP PROBLEM: Complete 5-step Student's t-test hypothesis evaluation
with degrees of freedom and p-value decision
✔ Categorical & Contingency Analysis: Chi-Square goodness-of-fit and independence contin-
gency table degrees of freedom
✔ Simple Linear Regression: Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) slope/intercept formulas and R-
squared coefficient of determination
✔ 10 Deadly Statistics Exam Traps (p-value misinterpretations, Bessel's n-1 correction, correlation
vs causation)
✔ APPENDIX: 1-Hour Emergency Pre-Exam Quick-Cram Cheat Sheet with master distributions
table and 25 active recall flashcards
