Engineering Formula Sheet

Statistics Mode

Place data in ascending order.


Mean Mode = most frequently occurring value
∑x If two values occur at the maximum frequency the
data set is bimodal.
If three or more values occur at the maximum
µ = mean value frequency the data set is multi-modal.
Σxi = sum of all data values (x1, x2, x3, …
n = number of data values
Median
Place data in ascending order.
Standard Deviation If n is odd, median = central value
If n is even, median = mean of two central values
∑(x )
√ n = number of data values

σ = standard deviation Range


xi = individual data value ( x1, x2, x3, … Range = xmax - xmin
n = number of data values xmax = maximum data value
xmin = minimum data value

Probability
Independent Events
Frequency P (A and B and C) = PAPBPC

x P (A and B and C) = probability of independent


x events A and B and C occurring in sequence
PA = probability of event A
x
x
Mutually Exclusive Events
fx = relative frequency of outcome x
nx = number of events with outcome x P (A or B) = PA + PB
n = total number of events
Px = probability of outcome x P (A or B) = probability of either mutually exclusive
fa = frequency of all events event A or B occurring in a trial
PA = probability of event A
Σxi = sum of all data values (x1, x2, x3, …
Binomial Probability (order doesn’t matter) n = number of data values

Conditional Probability
( ) ( | )
Pk = binomial probability of k successes in n trials ( | )
p = probability of a success ( ) ( | ) ( ) ( | )
q = 1 – p = probability of failure
P (A|D) = probability of event A given event D
k = number of successes P(A) = probability of event A occurring
n = number of trials P(~A) = probability of event A not occurring
P(D|~A) = probability of event D given event A did not occur
