Stat Cheat Sheet

The document discusses key concepts in statistics including: - The difference between population parameters, quantitative, and categorical variables. Quantitative variables can be displayed using histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, and dot plots, while categorical variables are shown with pie charts and bar graphs. - Key aspects of distributions including the median, mean, standard deviation, variance, skewness, outliers, and the empirical rule. - Common probability distributions like the binomial distribution and how to calculate probabilities, means, variances, and standard deviations for random variables and sums of random variables. - How to determine probabilities of events, independent events, and concepts like the joint probability table.

Population parameter- unknown quantity of interest that describes the pop.

(proportion of all adult Americans who think that Environment is more imp) Quantitative- (numerical observations) income, age, number of children per family, price of stock Categorical- (ordinal-ordered//nominal-not ordered) frequencies of observations in each category of a categorical variable (gender, geographical location) Quantitative- histogram, stem and leaf, dot plot// categorical- pie chart, bar graph Stem and leaf: position of median: (n+1)/2 Histogram (number goes in middle of the bar) write relative frequency on top (# in interval/total # of observations) symmetric distribution: mean=median, distribution skewed to right ( mean>median) distribution skewed to left (mean<median) mean involves all observations (sensitive to extreme, while median is not)

population variance population -> sqrt of variance sample variance/standard deviation n-1 b/c better estimator of o^2. If n is used then it is underestimator of it. Chebyshevs Theorem: 100(1-1/k^2)% of the observations lie w/i (mean-ks, mean+ks) k>1 75% lie within 2 standard deviations, 89% lies within 3 standard deviations Empirical Rule: 68% within 1 std ( , 95% within 2 std, 100% within 3 std (bell shaped distributions only) Z-score distance in stDev of observation from the mean// mean=0, stDev= 1. f this quantity is the rank, round to nearest integer// pth percentile. This will give you the number of observation ord ered IQR = Q3-Q1// Outliers: z scores>3 is an outlier. Q1-1.5IQR, Q3+1.5IQR (suspect outlier).
