A comprehensive, old-school summary of the prescribed work contained in the 'Only Study Guide for PYC3704', including a Glossary of term, lists for symbols and formulas, as well as helpful video links, and added infographics to enhance the learning experience.
Antwoord: P(x) = [n! / x! (n-x)!][Px(1-p)n-x]
*x = the probability of the number of successes to be determined for a random variable
*n = the number of trials
*p = the probability associated with any single, independent outcome of the variable
**Note: n-x is a superscript
7.
Formula:
Z-Test
Antwoord: z = (x - µ) / σ
*x = variable
*μ = population mean
*σ = standard deviation [SD]
8.
Formula:
Sample Error
Antwoord: σx̅ = σ / √n
*σx̅ = standard error
*σ = population standard deviation
*√n = Sample size
