7 \begin{align*}
8 \Pr(A \cup B) &= \Pr(A) + \Pr(B) - \Pr(A \cap B) \\
9 \Pr(A \cap B) &= \Pr(A|B) \times \Pr(B) \\
10 \Pr(A|B) &= \frac{\Pr(A \cap B)}{\Pr(B)} \\
11 \Pr(A) &= \Pr(A|B) \cdot \Pr(B) + \Pr(A|B^{\prime}) \cdot \Pr(B^{\prime})
12 \end{align*}
13
14 Mutually exclusive \(\implies \Pr(A \cup B) = 0\) \\
15
16 Independent events:
17 \begin{flalign*}
18 \quad \Pr(A \cap B) &= \Pr(A) \times \Pr(B)& \\
19 \Pr(A|B) &= \Pr(A) \\
20 \Pr(B|A) &= \Pr(B)

26 \item Arrangements \({n \choose k} = \frac{n!}{(n-k)}\)
27 \item \colorbox{important}{Combinations} \({n \choose k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}\)

31 \subsection*{Distributions}
32
33 \subsubsection*{Mean \(\mu\)}
34
35 \textbf{Mean} \(\mu\) or \textbf{expected value} \(E(X)\)
36
37 \begin{align*}
38 E(X) &= \frac{\Sigma \left[ x \cdot f(x) \right]}{\Sigma f} \tag{\(f =\) absolute frequency} \\
39 &= \sum_{i=1}^n \left[ x_i \cdot \Pr(X=x_i) \right] \tag{discrete}\\
40 &= \int_\textbf{X} (x \cdot f(x)) \> dx
41 \end{align*}
42
43 \subsubsection*{Mode}
44
45 Most popular value (has highest probability of all \(X\) values). Multiple modes can exist if \(>1 \> X\) value have equal-highest probability. Number must exist in distribution.
46
47 \subsubsection*{Median}
48
49 If \(m > 0.5\), then value of \(X\) that is reached is the median of \(X\). If \(m = 0.5 = 0.5\), then \(m\) is halfway between this value and the next. To find \(m\), add values of \(X\) from smallest to alrgest until the sum reaches 0.5.
50
51 \[ m = X \> \text{such that} \> \int_{-\infty}^{m} f(x) dx = 0.5 \]
52
53 \subsubsection*{Variance \(\sigma^2\)}
54
55 \begin{align*}
56 \operatorname{Var}(x) &= \sum_{i=1}^n p_i (x_i-\mu)^2 \\
57 &= \sum (x-\mu)^2 \times \Pr(X=x) \\
58 &= \sum x^2 \times p(x) - \mu^2 \\
59 &= \operatorname{E}(X^2) - [\operatorname{E}(X)]^2
60 &= E\left[(X-\mu)^2\right]
61 \end{align*}
62
63 \subsubsection*{Standard deviation \(\sigma\)}
64
65 \begin{align*}
66 \sigma &= \operatorname{sd}(X) \\
67 &= \sqrt{\operatorname{Var}(X)}
68 \end{align*}
69
70 \subsection*{Binomial distributions}
71
72 Conditions for a \textit{binomial distribution}:
73 \begin{enumerate}
74 \item Two possible outcomes: \textbf{success} or \textbf{failure}
75 \item \(\Pr(\text{success})\) is constant across trials (also denoted \(p\))
76 \item Finite number \(n\) of independent trials
77 \end{enumerate}
78

80 \subsubsection*{Properties of \(X \sim \operatorname{Bi}(n,p)\)}
81
82 \begin{align*}
83 \mu(X) &= np \\
84 \operatorname{Var}(X) &= np(1-p) \\
85 \sigma(X) &= \sqrt{np(1-p)} \\
86 \Pr(X=x) &= {n \choose x} \cdot p^x \cdot (1-p)^{n-x}

98 \subsection*{Continuous random variables}
99
100 A continuous random variable \(X\) has a pdf \(f\) such that:
101
102 \begin{enumerate}
103 \item \(f(x) \ge 0 \forall x \)
104 \item \(\int^\infty_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx = 1\)
105 \end{enumerate}
106
107 \begin{align*}
108 E(X) &= \int_\textbf{X} (x \cdot f(x)) \> dx \\
109 \operatorname{Var}(X) &= E\left[(X-\mu)^2\right]
110 \end{align*}
111
112 \[ \Pr(X \le c) = \int^c_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx \]
113
114
115 \subsection*{Two random variables \(X, Y\)}
116
117 If \(X\) and \(Y\) are independent:
118 \begin{align*}
119 \operatorname{E}(aX+bY) & = a\operatorname{E}(X)+b\operatorname{E}(Y) \\
120 \operatorname{Var}(aX \pm bY \pm c) &= a^2 \operatorname{Var}(X) + b^2 \operatorname{Var}(Y)
121 \end{align*}
122
123 \subsection*{Linear functions \(X \rightarrow aX+b\)}
124
125 \begin{align*}
126 \Pr(Y \le y) &= \Pr(aX+b \le y) \\
127 &= \Pr\left(X \le \dfrac{y-b}{a}\right) \\
128 &= \int^{\frac{y-b}{a}}_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx
129 \end{align*}
130
131 \begin{align*}
132 \textbf{Mean:} && \operatorname{E}(aX+b) & = a\operatorname{E}(X)+b \\
133 \textbf{Variance:} && \operatorname{Var}(aX+b) &= a^2 \operatorname{Var}(X) \\
134 \end{align*}
135
136 \subsection*{Expectation theorems}
137
138 For some non-linear function \(g\), the expected value \(E(g(X))\) is not equal to \(g(E(X))\).
139
140 \begin{align*}
141 E(X^2) &= \operatorname{Var}(X) - \left[E(X)\right]^2 \\
142 E(X^n) &= \Sigma x^n \cdot p(x) \tag{non-linear} \\
143 &\ne [E(X)]^n \\
144 E(aX \pm b) &= aE(X) \pm b \tag{linear} \\
145 E(b) &= b \tag{\(\forall b \in \mathbb{R}\)}\\
146 E(X+Y) &= E(X) + E(Y) \tag{two variables}
147 \end{align*}
148
149 \subsection*{Sample mean}
150
151 Approximation of the \textbf{population mean} determined experimentally.
152
153 \[ \overline{x} = \dfrac{\Sigma x}{n} \]
154
155 where
156 \begin{description}[nosep, labelindent=0.5cm]
157 \item \(n\) is the size of the sample (number of sample points)
158 \item \(x\) is the value of a sample point
159 \end{description}

164 \item In cell A1:\\ \path{mean(randNorm(sd, mean, sample size))}
165 \item Edit \(\rightarrow\) Fill \(\rightarrow\) Fill Range
166 \item Input range as A1:An where \(n\) is the number of samples
167 \item Graph \(\rightarrow\) Histogram
168 \end{enumerate}
169 \end{cas}
170
171 \subsubsection*{Sample size of \(n\)}
172
173 \[ \overline{X} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} = \dfrac{\sum x}{n} \]
174
175 Sample mean is distributed with mean \(\mu\) and sd \(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\) (approaches these values for increasing sample size \(n\)).
176
177 For a new distribution with mean of \(n\) trials, \(\operatorname{E}(X^\prime) = \operatorname{E}(X), \quad \operatorname{sd}(X^\prime) = \dfrac{\operatorname{sd}(X)}{\sqrt{n}}\)

184 \end{itemize}
185
186 \end{cas}
187
188 \subsection*{Normal distributions}
189
190
191 \[ Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \]
192
193 Normal distributions must have area (total prob.) of 1 \(\implies \int^\infty_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx = 1\) \\
194 \(\text{mean} = \text{mode} = \text{median}\)

282
283 \begin{itemize}
284 \item \textbf{Point estimate:} single-valued estimate of the population mean from the value of the sample mean \(\overline{x}\)
