WGU C207 Data Driven Decision Making
Already Passed
Z-Score ✔✔Data points only. Measurement of a scores relationship to the mean. A statistical
measure that indicates the number of standard deviations a data point is from its mean.
Variance ✔✔How far a set of numbers are spread. Used for Data set. Hint Words = Risk, spread.
Multiplication Rule ✔✔A method for finding the probability that both of two events occur.
When the probabilities of multiple events are multiplied together to determine the likelihood of
all of the events happening. Word Hint: And
Addition Rule ✔✔A method for finding the probability that either or both of two events occur.
When two events, A and B, are mutually exclusive, the probability that A or B will occur is the
sum of the probability of each event. Word Hint: Either/or.
Combination Rule ✔✔How many combinations can be made.
Bayes Theorem ✔✔Probability of an event , based on conditions that might be related to the
event. Conditional probability. A formula that calculates conditional probabilities. Important for
, understanding how new information affects the probabilities of outcomes. Word Hint: Given
that.
Median ✔✔Number halfway into the data set. Hint Word: Typical
Mode ✔✔Number that occurs most often in a data set.
Mean ✔✔Average. Add all numbers and divide.
Standard Deviation ✔✔How spread out the numbers are. Square root of the variance.
Pareto Chart ✔✔Contains both line and bar graphs. Ordered by frequency of occurrence that
shows how many results were generated by each identified cause.
Cause and Effect Diagram ✔✔Shows the causes of a specific event.
Check Sheet ✔✔Collect data in real time.
