Stat and Prob

Random Variable is a capacity that connects a real number with every component in the sample space.
It is a variable whose qualities are controlled by chance.

Discrete Random Variables are variables that can take on a finite number of distinct values. In easier
definition, discrete random variable is a set of possible outcomes that is countable.

Examples are the number of heads acquired while flipping a coin three times, the number of defective
chairs, the number of boys in the family, the number of students present in the online class, and more.

Continuous Random Variable are random variables that take an infinitely uncountable number of
potential values, regularly measurable amounts.

Often, continuous random variables represent measured data, such as height, weights, and
temperature.

Experiments are any movement or activity which can be dome repeatedly under similar or comparative
condition. The outcomes are the result of a given experiment while the sample space is the set of all
possible outcomes of an experiment. Let us have an example to illustrate this: rolling a die (dice) is an
example of experiment.

Find the area of z = 1.56

First column = 1.5

First row = .06

Therefore the area is = 0.4406

Understanding the Standard Normal Curve

The standard normal curve is a normal probability distribution that is most commonly
used as a model for inferential statistics. It has a mean µ = 0 and a standard
deviation σ = 1.

The totality of subjects (people, animals or objects) under consideration is called


population

The portion chosen from a population is called sample


The process of taking samples is called sampling

N!
NCn = ( N−n ) ! n ! ( example in coupon)

X−µ
Z= σ ( solution in coupon)
√n
Example:
During this time of pandemic, a certain group of welfare recipients receives cash benefits of ₱1,100.00
per week with a standard deviation of ₱200. If a random sample of 25 is taken, what is the probability
that their mean benefit is greater than ₱ 1,200.00 per week? Solution in the coupon>

The Symbol for variance is, σ2


Normal distribution, also known as Gaussian distribution
In graph form normal distribution or simply normal curve will appear as a, bell curve
The Table of Areas under the Normal Curve is also known as the, Z - Table
The Z- score is a measure of relative standing
William Sealy Gosset was one of the first to discover the Student’s t – distribution.
The person who discover the Student’s t – distribution is, an English Statistician
