1.4 Measures of Variability

Examples
  • Standard Deviations
  • D = sqrt(D^2)
  • Range
  • Simple Varience

Sample Varience

Simple Varience Definition in book pg. 36

Proposition See page 39

Fourth Spread

f_s = upper fourth - lower fourth

You have 50% of your data inbetween the upper and lower fourths

Homework: Chpt 1.4 - 44, 51, 55, 58

2.1 Sample Spaces and Events

A Sample Space of an expirement is all of the possible outcomes for that expirement

An Event is a subset of all the possible outcomes

  • A Simple Event has only one outcomes
  • A Compund Event has multiple outcomes

2.2 Axioms of Probability

  1. For any event, the probability is 0 or greater
  2. Total Probability is 1
  3. The sum of all events probability is 1

P(nullset) = 0
