Statistics
• Raw data are just lists of facts and numbers. The branch of mathematics that organizes, analyzes and interprets raw data is called statistics.
![Page 3: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Recall: Permutations, Combinations• P(n,r) = n! / (n-r)!
• Permutations a, b, and c taken 2 at a time is
3*2/1=6 <sequence>
• <ab>,<ba>,<ac>,<ca>,<bc>,<cb>• C(n,r) = n! /r! (n-r)!
• Combinations of a, b, and c taken 2 at a time is
3*2/2*1=3. {ab},{ac},{bc} {set} • {ab} is the same combination as {ba}, but <ab>,<ba> are distinct permutations

Recall Probability Calculations
•Calculation of union, sum
•P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A B)
•Calculation of intersection, product
•P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B|A)
•Conditional probability of A given E:
•P(A|E) = P(A E)/P(E)
•Test for independence
•P(A B) = P(A) × P(B)

Frequency Table
• One way of organizing raw data is to use a frequency table (or frequency distribution), which shows the number of times that an individual item occurs or the number of items that fall within a given range or interval.
![Page 6: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Frequency Distribution
• Suppose that a sample consists of the heights of 100 male students
at XYZ University. We arrange the data into classes or categories
and determine the number of individuals belonging to each class,
called the class frequency. The resulting table is called a frequency
distribution or frequency table
![Page 7: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• The first class or category, for example, consists of heights from 60
to 62 inches, indicated by 60–62, which is called class interval.
Since 5 students have heights belonging to this class, the
corresponding class frequency is 5. Since a height that is recorded
as 60 inches is actually between 59.5 and 60.5 inches while one
recorded as 62 inches is actually between 61.5 and 62.5 inches, we
could just as well have recorded the class interval as 59.5 – 62.5. In
the class interval 59.5 – 62.5, the numbers 59.5 and 62.5 are often
called class boundaries.
Frequency Distribution

• The midpoint of the class interval, which can be taken as
representative of the class, is called the class mark. A graph for the
frequency distribution can be supplied by a histogram.

Probability•Assume that all sample events are equally likely. We define classical probability that an event A will occur as•P(A) = #Simple Events in A #Simple Events in S•So P(A) is the number of ways in which A can occur, divided by the number of possible individual outcomes, assuming all are equally likely. Where S is the sample space.
![Page 11: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example• Tossing a coin twice:
– S = {HH, HT, TH, TT},• Probability 1/4 for each simple event.
– A = {Exactly One Head} = {HT,TH}• Then P(A) = 2/4 = 1/2
• Does this tell us how often A would occur if we repeated the experiment (“toss a coin twice”) many times?
![Page 12: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Relative frequency•The probability of an event is the long run frequency of occurrence.•To estimate P(A) using the frequency approach, repeat the experiment n times (with n large) and compute x/n, where•x = # Times A occurred in the n trials.•The larger we make n, the closer x/n gets to P(A).
![Page 13: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Relative frequency•If there have been 126 launches of the Space Shuttle, and two of these resulted in a catastrophic failure, we can estimate the probability that the next launch will fail to be 2/126 = 0.016.•The relative frequency allows us to determine the probability from actual data. It is more widely applicable than the classical approach, since it doesn't require us to specify a sample space consisting of equally likely simple events.
![Page 14: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Relationships between probability and frequency
•Frequencies are relevant when modelling repeated trials, or repeated sampling from a population.
![Page 15: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mean
• The arithmetic mean is the sum of the values in a data collection divided by the number of elements in that data collection.

Range•The range measures dispersion. It is the difference between the lowest and highest values in the data. For example:•The highest CA = 48, lowest = 27 giving a range of 21. •The highest exam = 45 and lowest = 12 giving a range of 33. •There was wider variation in the students’ performance in the exam. than in the CA.
![Page 18: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Variance & Standard Deviation
• List A: 12,10,9,9,10• List B: 7,10,14,11,8• The mean (x) of A & B is 10, but the
values in A are more closely clustered around the mean than those in B (or there is greater desperation or spread in B). We use the standard deviation to measure this spread (SD(A)≈1.1,SD(B) ≈2.4)
![Page 19: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Standard Deviation
• The standard deviation measures the spread of the data about the mean value.
• It is useful in comparing data which may have the same mean but a different range. The range measure of dispersion and is the difference between the lowest and highest values in the data.
![Page 20: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Median
• The median is the middle value. If the elements are sorted the median is:
• Median = valueAt[(n+1)/2] odd • Median = average(valueAt[n/2],
valueAt[n/2+1]) even
• For odd and even n respectively.
• Example {1,2,3,4,5} , Median = 3
• Example {1,2,3,4,5,6}, Median = 3.5

Mode
• The mode is the class or class value which occurs most frequently.
• mode([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9]) = 2
• We can have bimodal or multimodal collections of data.
The height of the bars is the number of cases in the category

Bernouilli Trials
• Independent repeated trial with two outcomes are called Bernouilli Trials. The probability of k successes in a binomial experiment is:
knkqpk
nkP
)(
• Where n is the number of trials and (n-k) is the number of failure and p, q are probabilities of events.

Random variables and probability distributions.
• Suppose you toss a coin two times. There are four possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, and TT. Let the variable X represents the number of heads that result from this experiment. The variable X can take on the values 0, 1, or 2. In this example, X is a random variable; because its value is determined by the outcome of a statistical experiment.
![Page 29: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Random variables and probability distributions.
• A probability distribution is a table or an equation that links each outcome of a statistical experiment with its probability of occurrence. The table below, which associates each outcome (the number of heads) with its probability. This is an example of a probability distribution.
• S={HH,HT,TH,TT}• A=number of heads
{0,1,2}
![Page 30: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Random Variable
• A random variable X on a finite sample space S is a function (or mapping) from S to a number R in S’.
• Let S be sample space of outcomes from tossing two coins. Then mapping a is;
• S={HH,HT,TH,TT} (assume HT≠TH)• Xa(HH)=1, Xa(HT)=2, Xa(TH)=3, Xa(TT)=4 • The range (or image) of the function Xa is:• S’={1,2,3,4}
![Page 31: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Random Variable
• Let S be sample space of outcomes from tossing two coins, where we are interested in the number of heads. Mapping b is:
• S={HH,HT,TH,TT}• Xb(HH)=2, Xb(HT)=1, Xb(TH)=1, Xb(TT)=0
• The range (image) of Xb is:
• S’’={0,1,2}
![Page 32: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Random Variable
• A random variable is a function that maps a finite sample space into to a numeric value. The numeric value has a finite probability space of real numbers, where probabilities are assigned to the new space according to the following rule:
pointi = P(xi)= sum of probabilities of points in S whose range is xi.
Recall function F : Domain -> Range (Image)
![Page 33: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Random Variable
• The function assigning pi to xi can be given as a table called the distribution of the random variable.
• pi = P(xi)= number of points in S whose image is xi
number of points in S
(i = 1,2,3...n) gives the distribution of X

Random Variable
• The equiprobable space generated by tossing pair of fair dice, consists of 36 ordered pairs(1):
• S={<1,1>,<1,2>,<1,3>...<6,6>}• Let X be the random variable which
assigns to each element of S the sum of the two dice integers: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 9,10,11,12
![Page 35: Computing Fundamentals 2 Lecture 7 Statistics Lecturer: Patrick Browne](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cdc5503460f949a78ca/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Random Variable
• Continuing with the sum of the two dice.• There is only one point whose image is 2, giving
P(2)=1/36.• There are two points whose image is 3, giving
P(3)=2/36. (<1,2>≠<2,1>, but their sums are =)• Below is the distribution of X.

Example: Random Variable• A box contains 9 good items and 3 defective items (total 12
items). Three items are selected at random from the box. Let X be the random variable that counts the number of defective items in a sample. X has a range space Rx = {0,1,2,3}.
– The sample space 12-choose-3 = 220 different samples of size 3.
– There are 9-choose-3 = 84 samples of size 3 with 0 defective items.
– There are 3 * 9-choose-2 = 108 samples of size 3 with 1 defective.
– There are 3-choose-2 * 9 = 27 samples of size 3 with 2 defective.
– There 3-choose-3 = 1 samples of size 3 with 3 defective items.

Fair Game1?
• If a prime number appears on a fair die the player wins that value. If an non-prime appears the player looses that value. Is the game fair?(E(X)=0)
• S={1,2,3,4,5,6}
• E(X) = 2(1/6)+3(1/6)+5(1/6)+(-1)(1/6)+(-4)(1/6)+(-6)(1/6)= -1/6

Fair Game2?
• A player gambles on the toss of two fair coins. If 2 heads occur the player wins 2 Euro. If 1 head occurs he wins 1 Euro. If no heads occur he looses 3 Euro. Is the game fair?(E(X)=0)
• S={HH,HT,TH,TT}, • X(HH) = 2, X(HT)=X(TH)=1, X(TT)=-3
• E(X) = 2(1/4)+1(2/4)-3(1/4) = 0.25

Examples
• Two fair dice are thrown. If the sum of the
faces is 4, what is the probability that one
of the dice shows a 3?

Examples• A fair coin is thrown three times.
Consider the following events– A={first toss is a head}– B={second toss is head}– C={exactly 2 heads tossed in a row}
• Are the following events independent?– A and C– B and C

Examples• The probabilities of three runners A, B
or C winning a race are:– P(a) = 1/2,– P(b) = 1/3,– P(c) = 1/6.
• If two races are run, what is the probability of C winning the first race and A winning the second race?
