Chebyshev's Rule: at least 1 − 2 of the data fall within k standard deviations of the mean

Median for grouped data (similar for any fractile): x ≈ L + c
f
Where L is the lower boundary of the class into which the median must fall, f is the frequency of this
class, c is the class interval, and j is the number of values we still lack when we reach L.
P ( A) ≥ 0 for any event A; P ( A) ≤ 1 for any event A; P (φ ) = 0; P ( A) + P ( A′) = 1
If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then P(A ∪B)=P(A)+P(B).
P( A ∩ B)
If P(B) is not equal to zero, then: P( A B) =
P( B)
If A and B are independent: P(A) = P(A|B) and P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B)
If the probabilities of obtaining the amounts a1, a2, a3, … , or ak are p1, p2, p3, … , and pk , where
p1 + p2 + p3 + … + pk = 1, then the mathematical expectation is E = a p + a p + …+ a p
