Sab
Eab - ((Ea)(Eb)/n
Y on x regression line
a = y_ - bx_
b = sxy/xx
Expectation of combinations of random variables
E(aX + bY + c) = aE(X) + bE(Y) + c
Variance of combinations of random variables
Var(aX + bY + c) = a^2 Var(X) + b^2 Var(Y)
Sample mean, from a sample of n observations of a random variable.
Random variable with mean E(X) and variance Var(X)/n
Poisson distribution conditions
Random events
Events independent of each other
Average rate of events is constant
E(X) and Var(X) of poisson
lambda
If X ~ Po(a), Y ~ Po(b), and Z = X+Y, Z~
Po(a+b)
Spearman’s rank
1-(6sumd^2 / n(n^2 - 1)
Spearman’s hypothesis test
H0, association
H1, no association
If rs less than value from tables, do not reject.
If greater, reject.
Normal hypothesis test
h0: mean is as given
h1: mean is > < != given, where mu is population mean
