Sample data variability — definition?
Natural differences observed in collected data.
Variability in sample data — meaning?
Extent of data points' differences from the mean.
Sources of variability — examples?
Measurement errors, natural fluctuations, population differences.
Probability of an event — role?
Quantifies likelihood of occurrence.
Probability rules — bounds?
Between 0 and 1, inclusive.
Event probability — complement?
1 minus the probability of the event.
Random variable — definition?
Numerical outcome of a random experiment.
Distribution of a variable — purpose?
Describes likelihood of each possible value.
Expected value — meaning?
Long-term average of the random variable.
Variance — what?
Measure of data spread around the mean.
Poisson distribution — models?
Number of rare events in a fixed interval.
Binomial distribution — models?
Number of successes in fixed trials.
Normal distribution — shape?
Bell-shaped, symmetric around mean.
Other distributions — examples?
Exponential, uniform, skewed distributions.
Conditional probability — formula?
P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B).
Independence — condition?
P(A∩B) = P(A)×P(B).
Correlation — measure?
Strength and direction of linear relationship.
Statistical inference — purpose?
Estimate population parameters from samples.
