Statistics and Probability Formulas
1 / 20
What is the formula for permutations (nPr)?
Permutations: nPr = n! / (n-r)!. Order DOES matter in permutations.
2 / 20
What is the formula for the number of outcomes in the sample space of rolling two dice?
Two dice: 6 × 6 = 36 total outcomes. Use the multiplication principle for independent events.
3 / 20
What is the formula for C(n, 0)?
C(n,0) = n!/(0! × n!) = 1. There is exactly one way to choose 0 items from n — choose nothing.
4 / 20
How do you calculate the mean?
Mean = Sum of all values ÷ Count of values. It is the arithmetic average.
5 / 20
What does a box plot (box-and-whisker plot) display?
A box plot shows the 5-number summary: minimum, Q1 (25th percentile), median (Q2), Q3 (75th percentile), and maximum.
6 / 20
What is the multiplication rule for independent events?
For independent events: P(A and B) = P(A) × P(B). Their probabilities multiply.
7 / 20
What is an outlier in a data set?
An outlier is a data point significantly different from the rest. It can heavily affect the mean but not the median.
8 / 20
What is the z-score formula?
Z-score = (x - μ) / σ. It measures how many standard deviations a value x is from the mean μ.
9 / 20
What does it mean when two events are independent?
Independent events: P(A|B) = P(A). The occurrence of B does not change the probability of A.
10 / 20
What is a scatter plot used for?
A scatter plot shows the relationship (correlation) between two quantitative variables, with one on each axis.
11 / 20
What is the simple probability formula?
Probability = number of favorable outcomes ÷ total possible outcomes.
12 / 20
What is the 68-95-99.7 rule (Empirical Rule)?
Empirical Rule: ~68% of data falls within 1 SD, ~95% within 2 SD, ~99.7% within 3 SD of the mean in a normal distribution.
13 / 20
What is a census?
A census collects data from every member of the population. A survey uses a sample instead.
14 / 20
What is the law of large numbers?
Law of Large Numbers: as the number of trials increases, the experimental probability approaches the theoretical probability.
15 / 20
How do you find the number of ways to arrange n distinct items?
The number of arrangements of n distinct items = n! (n factorial). Example: 4 items = 4! = 24 ways.
16 / 20
What does it mean when the mean is greater than the median?
When mean > median, the distribution is right-skewed (positively skewed). High outliers pull the mean rightward.
17 / 20
What is relative frequency?
Relative frequency = frequency / total count. It expresses frequency as a proportion (0 to 1) or percentage.
18 / 20
What is the formula for the experimental probability?
Experimental probability = (number of times event occurred) / (total number of trials). Based on actual results, not theory.
19 / 20
What is a frequency distribution?
A frequency distribution shows how often each value or range of values occurs in a data set.
20 / 20
What is the formula for C(n, n)?
C(n,n) = 1. There is exactly one way to choose all n items from n — choose everything.
