Section 2 Math & Stats Flashcards
Operating Expense Ratio + Net Income Ratio
= 100%
Demand Curve has what relationship & slope
Inverse relationship, negative slope
Supply curve has what relationship & slope?
Direct relationship & a positive slope
What are the three ways to express change?
total, average annual, annually compounded
How do you measure change?
opinions of market participants, published data, aggregated data, extrapolation, paired data analysis, sorting data, graphing data, regression analysis linear or logarthims
How do you calculate change?
End#/Start# -1
Measures of Central Tendency
spectrum of all numbers where the population clusters
Measures of Dispersion
how widely is the data spread out
What is the mean? why is it not useful (con)
Average, affected by outliers
Median
the one in the middle
how do you solve for the mean on the hp
enter each number w/ sigma+ then calculate for the blue key on 0 (x w/ a line over it)
how do you solve for standard deviation on the hp
enter each number w/ sigma+ then g s (blue of the .)
What is the median? why isn’t it useful? what’s the formula
the one in the middle N+1/2, isn’t useful because it isn’t calculated
What is the mode? why isn’t it useful? what’s the formula
most frequently occuring observation, more than one mode, observed not calculated
What is the central tendency in a normal distribution?
68% 1 SD, 95% 2 SD, 99% 3 SDs
What is the central tendency in a non -normal distribution?
50% 1.4 SDs (not useful) 75% 2 SDs, 89% 3 SDs, 94% 4 SDs
What are 3 measures of dispersion
Range, Standard Deviation, Coefficient of Variation COV
How do you calculate dispersion in a range? What are the cons?
End #/Begin# -1 (expressed as a number not a percent .201 as 201 not 20.1%, doesn’t consider in between numbers, doesn’t consider all data
What is the standard deviation? How do you calculate it? what are the cons?
An approximation of the average distance of each item from the mean, with your HP!, need a computer or calc. With HP enter all data with Sigma +, calc gs on blue . key
What is the Coefficient of Variation? How do you calculate it?
a measure of dispersion as a percentage. A lower COV has less risk & is more reliable, SD/Average
Which axis has the dependent variable?
Y axis (usually price or value)
