Introduction to statistics: probability
Probability:
- Random trials, events, sample space
- Law of large numbers
- The outcome of a large number of random trials
- Probability distributions
- Calculating probabilities and events
The ‘rules’
- Addition, multiplication, ‘not’
o Addition—mutually exclusive events
o Multiplication – things that must happen together e.g. snake eyes
o Not – e.g. no ones on die is 1-6
- Bernouli trials, Binomial coefficient
- Binomial distribution
- Sequence of events
