   6  \subsection*{Continuous random variables}
   7
   8  A continuous random variable \(X\) has a pdf \(f\) such that:
   9
  10  \begin{enumerate}
  11    \item \(f(x) \ge 0 \forall x \)
  12    \item \(\int^\infty_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx = 1\)
  13  \end{enumerate}
  14
  15  \begin{align*}
  16    E(X) &= \int_\textbf{X} (x \cdot f(x)) \> dx \\
  17    \operatorname{Var}(X) &= E\left[(X-\mu)^2\right]
  18  \end{align*}
  19
  20  \[ \Pr(X \le c) = \int^c_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx \]
  21  
  22
  23  \subsection*{Two random variables \(X, Y\)}
  24
  25  If \(X\) and \(Y\) are independent:
  26  \begin{align*}
  27    \operatorname{E}(aX+bY) & = a\operatorname{E}(X)+b\operatorname{E}(Y) \\
  28    \operatorname{Var}(aX \pm bY \pm c) &= a^2 \operatorname{Var}(X) + b^2 \operatorname{Var}(Y)
  29  \end{align*}
  30
  31  \subsection*{Linear functions \(X \rightarrow aX+b\)}
  32
  33  \begin{align*}
  34    \Pr(Y \le y) &= \Pr(aX+b \le y) \\
  35    &= \Pr\left(X \le \dfrac{y-b}{a}\right) \\
  36    &= \int^{\frac{y-b}{a}}_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx
  37  \end{align*}
  38
  39  \begin{align*}
  40    \textbf{Mean:} && \operatorname{E}(aX+b) & = a\operatorname{E}(X)+b \\
  41    \textbf{Variance:} && \operatorname{Var}(aX+b) &= a^2 \operatorname{Var}(X) \\
  42  \end{align*}
  43
  44  \subsection*{Expectation theorems}
  45
  46  For some non-linear function \(g\), the expected value \(E(g(X))\) is not equal to \(g(E(X))\).
  47
  48  \begin{align*}
  49    E(X^2) &= \operatorname{Var}(X) - \left[E(X)\right]^2 \\
  50    E(X^n) &= \Sigma x^n \cdot p(x) \tag{non-linear} \\
  51    &\ne [E(X)]^n \\
  52    E(aX \pm b) &= aE(X) \pm b \tag{linear} \\
  53    E(b) &= b \tag{\(\forall b \in \mathbb{R}\)}\\
  54    E(X+Y) &= E(X) + E(Y) \tag{two variables}
  55  \end{align*}
  56
  57  \subsection*{Sample mean}
  58
  59  Approximation of the \textbf{population mean} determined experimentally.
  60
  61  \[ \overline{x} = \dfrac{\Sigma x}{n} \]
  62

  64  \begin{description}[nosep, labelindent=0.5cm]

  79  \subsubsection*{Sample size of \(n\)}
  80
  81  \[ \overline{X} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} = \dfrac{\sum x}{n} \]
  82
  83  Sample mean is distributed with mean \(\mu\) and sd \(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\) (approaches these values for increasing sample size \(n\)).
  84
  85  For a new distribution with mean of \(n\) trials, \(\operatorname{E}(X^\prime) = \operatorname{E}(X), \quad \operatorname{sd}(X^\prime) = \dfrac{\operatorname{sd}(X)}{\sqrt{n}}\)

  96  \subsection*{Normal distributions}
  97
  98
  99  \[ Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \]
 100
 101  Normal distributions must have area (total prob.) of 1 \(\implies \int^\infty_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx = 1\) \\

 192  \subsection*{Central limit theorem}
 193
 194  If \(X\) is randomly distributed with mean \(\mu\) and sd \(\sigma\), then with an adequate sample size \(n\) the distribution of the sample mean \(\overline{X}\) is approximately normal with mean \(E(\overline{X})\) and \(\operatorname{sd}(\overline{X}) = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\).
 195
 196  \subsection*{Confidence intervals}
 197
 198  \begin{itemize}
 199    \item \textbf{Point estimate:} single-valued estimate of the population mean from the value of the sample mean \(\overline{x}\)
 200    \item \textbf{Interval estimate:} confidence interval for population mean \(\mu\)
 201    \item \(C\)\% confidence interval \(\implies\) \(C\)\% of samples will contain population mean \(\mu\)
 202  \end{itemize}
 203
 204  \subsubsection*{95\% confidence interval}
 205
 206  For 95\% c.i. of population mean \(\mu\):
 207
 208  \[ x \in \left(\overline{x} \pm 1.96 \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \right)\]
 209
 210  where:
 211  \begin{description}[nosep, labelindent=0.5cm]
 212    \item \(\overline{x}\) is the sample mean
 213    \item \(\sigma\) is the population sd
 214    \item \(n\) is the sample size from which \(\overline{x}\) was calculated

 222  \subsection*{Margin of error}
 223
 224  For 95\% confidence interval of \(\mu\):
 225  \begin{align*}
 226    M &= 1.96 \times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \\
 227    \implies n &= \left( \dfrac{1.96 \sigma}{M} \right)^2
 228  \end{align*}
 229
 230  Always round \(n\) up to a whole number of samples.
 231
 232  \subsection*{General case}
 233
 234  For \(C\)\% c.i. of population mean \(\mu\):
 235
 236  \[ x \in \left( \overline{x} \pm k \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \right) \]
 237  \hfill where \(k\) is such that \(\Pr(-k < Z < k) = \frac{C}{100}\)
 238
 239  \subsection*{Confidence interval for multiple trials}
 240
 241  For a set of \(n\) confidence intervals (samples), there is \(0.95^n\) chance that all \(n\) intervals contain the population mean \(\mu\).

 250
 251  Sample drawn from population has same mean as control population, and any difference can be explained by sample variations.
 252

 254
 255  Amount of variation from control is significant, despite standard sample variations.

 263  \end{align*}
 264
 265  Probability of observing a value of the sample statistic as significant as the one observed, assuming null hypothesis is true.
