Statistic and Probability Brochure

The document discusses probability distributions and sampling distributions in statistics. A probability distribution shows the possible outcomes of a random experiment and their probabilities. The probability of an event is calculated by taking the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. A sampling distribution shows the distribution of a statistic when calculated from random samples drawn from a population and allows you to determine the probability of obtaining different values for that statistic from repeated random sampling.

Probability

Distribution
In Statistics, the
probability distribution
gives the possibility of
each outcome of a
random experiment or
event. It provides the
probabilities of different
possible occurrences.

The formula of the probability


of an event is:

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)
MEAN OFDISCRETE MEAN OFDISCRETE
RANDOM VARIABLE RANDOM VARIABLE
EXAMPLE
Suppose you would like to get Mean is used to describe a set
What is the probability that a the mean result of rolling a die. of data using a single number.
card taken from a standard To do this, you roll a die 10 times

It solved using the following


deck, is an Ace? and get the values 2, 4, 1, 3, 5, 5, formula.
2, 6, 1, and 2. If you would like to
Total number of cards a standard get the mean of the 10 values,
pack contains = 52
you may use the formula for
Number of Ace cards in a deck of
cards = 4
solving the mean.
So, the number of favourable
outcomes = 4
now, by looking at the formula, Where is the sum of all values of
Probability of selecting an ace from a the data in a sample, while n is
deck is, the sample size? The mean here
P(Ace) = (Number of favourable is a sample mean. Give n that
outcomes) / (Total number of this mean is based from data
favourable outcomes) taken from a sample, this is
considered as statistical data.
P(Ace) = 4/52 = 1/13
