Define an event
One or more possible outcomes
1 of 22
Define sample space
A list of all possible outcomes
2 of 22
Write down the addition rule
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
3 of 22
What are independent events?
Events that don't impact on each other
4 of 22
How would you prove that events are independent? (2 ways)
Given that rule or P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)
5 of 22
What are mutually exclusive events?
Two things that can't happen at the same time
6 of 22
Show two ways of mutually exclusive events
Sample space or P(A and B) = 0
7 of 22
Write down the given that rule
P(A given B) = P(A and B) divided by P(B)

Chapter 9

What does PMCC mean and what does it show?
PMCC = product moment correlation coefficient. It shows if there is a strong positive or negative correlation
10 of 22
What is the PMCC range and what do the numbers mean?
Range from -1 to 1 showing strong positive or negative correlation
11 of 22
How does coding affect PMCC?
Coding doesn't affect PMCC
12 of 22
When is regression anaylis appropriate?
Only when there is a significant form of correlation
13 of 22
The independent variable should be on which axis...
X axis
14 of 22
Explain what is meant by extrapolation and interpolation and comment on their reliability
Extrapolation - predictions outside of the data range, unreliable. Interpolation - within the data range, reliable
15 of 22
Why would coding be used in regression anaylsis and what would the impact of coding be?
Convert a large value
16 of 22
How do you find expectation of x?
Value multiplied by probability of occuring and then add them together
17 of 22
How do you find the variance of x?
Value squared multiplied by probability of occuring and then - mean squared
18 of 22
For a fair regular die, write down a probability distribution and a probability function
Distribution all outcomes have 1/6 of a chance. Function P(X=x) 1/6 x=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
19 of 22
What does the letter F relate to in regards to probability function or distribution?
F stand for cumulative
20 of 22
How does coding affect expectation?
Does as expected
21 of 22
How does coding affect variance?
Adding doesn't affect, multiplying = value squared
