1. 12.1 The Counting Principle

2. Vocabulary  Outcome: the result of a single trial  Sample Space: set of all possible outcomes  Event: one or more outcomes of a trial  Independent Events: choice of one thing DOES NOT affect the choice of another  Dependent Events: choice of one thing DOES affect the choice of another

3. The Fundamental Counting Principle  If one event can occur m ways and another event can occur in n ways, then one event followed by the other event can occur in mn ways Basically multiply the number of ways for each event to get the total number of ways the events can occur together

4. Examples  A sandwich cart offers the choice of hamburger, chicken or fish on plain or sesame bun. How many combinations of meat and bun are possible? Note: meat choice does not affect bun choice so these events are independent

73. 12.6 Statistical Measures Measures of Central Tendency

74. Vocabulary  Univariate Data: data with one variable  Measure of central tendency: one number that describes a set of data USEWHEN… meanThe data are spread out and you want an average (add all and divide by total # of items) MedianThe data contains outliers (put all in order from least to greatest and find the exact middle number) ModeThe data are tightly clustered around one or two values (the #s that appear the most often)

75. Measures of Variation (dispersion)  Measure how spread out or scattered a set of data is Simplest measure of variation to calculate is the range  Variance and Standard deviation: measures of variation that indicate how much the data values differ from the mean
