Includes all data but excludes duplicate values Ex) x = {1,2,3} and y = {1,3,4} X∪Y= {1,2,3,4} ∩ = intersection. Includes only data that exists in both x and y. Ex) x = {1,2,3} and y = {1,3,4} X∩Y= {1,3} Probability Combination vs. Permutation: You use combination when the order does not matter. (B,C,A / A,B,C / C,B,A are the same) You use permutation when the order does matter. (B,C,A / A,B,C / C,B,A are not the same) Combination formula = b! b9d ! (d!) n = number of objects from which you can choose k = number of objects to be chosen Permutation formula = b! b9d ! Dice Problems Rolling 2 Dice: Total number of permutations = (6)(6) = 36 Ex) What is the probability of rolling two dice and having the two numbers add to 4? Three possibilities: 2+2, 1+3, and 3+1. Therefore probability = 3/36 = 1/12 Deck of Cards Total # of Cards = 52 (without jokers) 4 suits (heart, club, ace, diamond) 13 cards per suit With Replacement – Total number of cards must go back to 52 and cards of interest must go back to initial amount Without Replacement – Must decrease total number of cards by 1 and decrease number of cards of interest by one Ex) Probability of pulling 3 spades in a deck without replacement? ?e G= × ?= G? × ?? Gf = ee =GGf Letter Problems Ex) How many ways can the letters in APPALOOSA be arranged? If no repeating letters = 9! If repeating letters, we must divide by the factorials of numbers of repeats: Repeats of A = 3 Repeats of P = 2 Repeats of O = 2 Number of Total Probability = F! e!×=!×=! = 15120 Statistics Mean: average Median: middle number of a set of data (remember to order them numerically and then find the middle number) Mode: number that occurs most often in a set st. dev = σ = Σ(x − xWjk)= N variance = 𝜎=
