  2. Statistical Experiment A statistical experiment or observation is any process by which an measurements are obtained

  3. Examples of Statistical Experiments • Counting the number of books in the College Library • Counting the number of mistakes on a page of text • Measuring the amount of rainfall in your state during the month of June • Counting the number of siblings you have • “Start of the Year” data????

  4. Random Variable a quantitative variable that assumes a value determined by chance

  5. Discrete Random Variable A discrete random variable is a quantitative random variable that can take on only a finite number of values or a countable number of values. Example: the number of books in the College Library

  6. Continuous Random Variable A continuous random variable is a quantitative random variable that can take on any of the countless number of values in a line interval. Example: the amount of rainfall in your state during the month of June

  7. Discrete Random Variables Continuous Discrete Question about… Random Variable Let x = Type? Family x = Number of dependents in size family reported on tax return Distance from x = Distance in miles from home to store home to the store site Own dog x = 1 if own no pet; or cat = 2 if own dog(s) only; = 3 if own cat(s) only; = 4 if own dog(s) and cat(s)

  8. Probability Distribution an assignment of probabilities to the specific values of the random variable or to a range of values of the random variable

  9. Probability Distribution of a Discrete Random Variable • A probability is assigned to each value of the random variable. • The sum of these probabilities must be 1.

  22. Expected value and standard deviation… At a carnival, you decide to play spinner the wheel for a prize for $2.00. If you land in the red area, you win $4. If you land in the white area, you win $1. If you land in the blue area, you win nothing. What are your expected earnings when you play the game once? Ten times? Formula:  =  x P(x)

  28. Binomial Probability A special kind of discrete probability distribution with only 2 random variables

  29. Features of a Binomial Experiment 1. There are a fixed number of trials. We denote this number by the letter n.

  30. Features of a Binomial Experiment 2. The n trials are independent and repeated under identical conditions.

  31. Features of a Binomial Experiment 3. Each trial has only two outcomes: success, denoted by S, and failure, denoted by F.

  32. Features of a Binomial Experiment 4. For each individual trial, the probability of success is the same. We denote the probability of success by p and the probability of failure by q. Since each trial results in either success or failure, p + q = 1 and q = 1 – p.

  33. Features of a Binomial Experiment 5. The central problem is to find the probability of r successes out of n trials.

  34. Binomial Experiments • Repeated, independent trials • Number of trials =n • Two outcomes per trial: success (S) and failure (F) • Number of successes = r • Probability of success = p • Probability of failure = q = 1 – p
