Overview Probability and statistics concepts are tested as one of the strands of SAT Mathematics. Topics include measures of central tendency such as mean, median, and mode; elementary probability; and…
read moreOverview A binomial experiment has a fixed number of independent trials, and each trial has only two possible outcomes. Each of the trials has the same probability of success. The…
read moreOverview: Probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event. The basic mathematics of probability theory started with games of chance, but it can be applied to many situations,…
read moreOverview: Relative frequencies refer to estimates of probabilities taken from actual data. Suppose that a survey of 1000 voters is taken and 213 of them state that they are going…
read moreOverview Usually, probability is calculated in terms of relative numerical frequencies. However, it can also be calculated in terms of ratios of area. Probability of Area Suppose that a target…
read moreOverview: The probability of an event is determined by how likely that event is to happen. If an event is impossible, it has a probability of 0. If an event…
read moreOverview: Chance and Probability Geneticists use the principles of chance and probability to express the results of genetic experiments with pea plants, as well as other plants and animals. In…
read moreA random variable is a function which is usually denoted by X defined on the sample space S whose range is the set of real numbers. i.e. X:S–> R is…
read moreThe probability of happening an event can easily be found using the definition of probability. But just the definition cannot be used to find the probability of happening at least…
read moreWhen determining characteristics of a variable, there are a variety of data points that can be determined. For all of our examples shown today, we will let X be the…
