CHAPTER 1: Representation of data

• Non-numerical data are called qualitative or categorical data.


• Numerical data are called quantitative data, and are either discrete or continuous.
- Discrete data can take only certain values.
- Continuous data can take any value, possibly within a limited range.
class frequency
Frequency density = class width

CHAPTER 3: Measures of variation
Range = largest value – smallest value
IQR (interquartile range) = Q3 – Q1

Box and whisker:

For Q2-Q1 < Q3 – Q2 → positively skewed


The longer tail of the curve drawn over a bar chart would be to the side of the larger values.

For Q2-Q1 > Q3 – Q2 → negatively skewed


The longer tail of the curve would be to the side of the smaller values.

P (event) = 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠

P(A’) = 1 – P(A)
Note: P(A’) = probabilities of A complement → P (not A)

P (A⋃B)’ = P (A’ ⋂ B’)


P (A⋂B)’ = P (A’ ⋃ B’)

Mutually Exclusive Events


P (A⋃B) = P(A) + P (B) – P (A⋂B)

Mutually Exclusive Events (no common favourable outcomes)


P (A⋃B) = P(A) + P (B)

Independent Events
P (A⋂B) = P(A) x P (B)

Conditional Probability
Probability of event A occuring given that event B has occured
𝑃 (𝐵⋂A)
P (A/B) = 𝑃(𝐵)

Probability of event B occuring given that event A has occured


𝑃 (𝐴⋂B)
P (B/A) = 𝑃(𝐴)

Combination (chosen and selected)
a way of selecting objects in no particular order.
