A n B
Intersection
A U B
Union
P(A|B) =
P(A|B’) = P(A)
P( A U B ) =
P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)
P(B|A)
P( B n A) / P(A)
Standard normal distribution mean and standard deviation
Mean = 0
Standard deviation = 1
sample mean of a normally distribute random variable X ~ N(u , ó^2 / n)
Z = ( X - u) / ( ó / root n )
with Z ~ N( 0, 1)
Population
Set of items that are of interest
Census
Observes or measured every member of a population
Sampling units
Individual units of population
Sampling frame
Sampling units individually named or numbered to form a list
Simple random sample
Size of n is one where every sample of size n has an equal chance of being selected
Systematic sampling
Required elements are chosen at regular intervals from an ordered list
Stratified sampling
Population is divided into mutually exclusive strata and a random sample is taken from each
Quota sampling
Interviewer or researcher selects a sample that reflects the characteristics of the whole population
