CONTAINS: DATA AND PROBABILITY, AND STATISTICS (38 cards)
is a field of Mathematics that deals with chance
Probability
is a chance process that leads to a well-defined results called outcomes. It is an activity in which the results cannot be predicted with certainty.
Experiment
Each repetition of an experiment is called a?
Trial
is a result of an experiment.
Outcome
is any collection of outcomes.
Event
is an event with only one possible outcome
Simple event
has more than one outcomes
Compound Event
is the set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.
Sample space
Each element in a sample space is called a?
Sample point
a tool that can be used to list down the possible outcomes of an event in an organized manner.
Tree diagram
states that if there are actions to be represented in a definite order where the first action has m1x m2x m3 x m4 x … x
Fundamental Counting Principle
Give the sample space of TOSSING ONE COIN.
S = {H, T}
Give the sample space of tossing a fair coin and rolling a die.
S = { H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6}
is the likelihood of an event to happen. It is a quantitative measurement of the chance that an event can occur
Probability
is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the number of all possible outcomes of an experiment
Probability of an event
An event that is sure to happen has a probability equal to 1 is called a?
certain event
An event that is not going to happen has a probability equal to 0 is called an?
impossible event
a branch of mathematics that deals with the scientific collection, organization, presentation, analysis, and interpretation of numerical data to obtain meaningful, and useful information.
Statistics
refers to the ascertaining manner of presenting the data into tables, graphs, or charts so that logical and statistical conclusions can be drawn from the collected measurements.
Organization of Data
refers to the process of obtaining information
Collection of Data
refers to the process of extracting relevant information from the given data from which a numerical description can be formulated.
Analysis of Data
refers to the task of drawing conclusions from the analyzed data
Interpretation of Data
Any estimate of variable taken from a sample?
Statistics
A variable obtained by measuring objects or its attributes.
Continuous Variable
