For examle, the data i the frequec table above ca be show as: The usefuless of relative frequecies ad ercetages is clear: for examle, it is easil see that corer gouge accouts for 59% of the total umber of damages. Slide 5 The vertical axis ca be frequecies or relative frequecies or ercetages. O the horizotal axis all boxes should have the same width leave gas betwee the boxes (because there is o coectio betwee them) the boxes ca be i a order. Slide 6

2 Exerimets, Models, RV s A exerimet is a aturall occurrig heomeo, a scietific stud, a samlig trial or a test., i which a object (uit/subject) is selected at radom (ad/or treated at radom) to observe/measure differet outcome characteristics of the rocess the exerimet studies. Model geeralized hothetical descritio used to aalze or describe a heomeo. A radom variable is a te of measuremet tae o the outcome of a radom exerimet. Defiitios The robabilit fuctio for a discrete radom variable X gives the chace that the observed value for the rocess equals a secific outcome, x. T P(X = x) [deoted r(x) or P(x)] for ever value x that the R.V.

How do we reset the models i mathematical terms? Slide 5 The aswer is: Biomial distributio The distributio of the umber of heads i tosses of a biased coi is called the Biomial distributio. Biomial(, ) the robabilit distributio of the umber of Heads i a -toss coi exerimet, where the robabilit for Head occurrig i each trial is. E.g., Biomial(6, 0.7) x Idividual r(x = x) Cumulative r(x - x) For examle P(X=0) = P(all 6 tosses are Tails) = ( 0.7) 6 = = 0.00 Slide 6 Slide 7 Biar radom rocess The biased-coi tossig model is a hsical model for situatios which ca be characterized as a series of trials where: Teach trial has ol two outcomes: success or failure; T = P(success) is the same for ever trial; ad Ttrials are ideedet. The distributio of X = umber of successes (heads) i such trials is Biomial(, ) Samlig from a fiite oulatio Biomial Aroximatio If we tae a samle of size from a much larger oulatio (of size ) i which a roortio have a characteristic of iterest, the the distributio of X, the umber i the samle with that characteristic, is aroximatel Biomial(, ).

E.x., if =3, P>0.5. Mai cofusio arises from the fact that i real life we rarel meet eole havig the same birthda as us, ad we meet more tha 3 eole. The reaso for such high robabilit is that a of the 3 eole ca comare their birthda with a other oe, ot just ou comarig our birthda to abod else s. There are -Choose- = 0*9/ was to select a air or eole. Assume there are 365 das i a ear, P(oe-articular-air-same- B-da)=/365, ad P(oe-articular-air-failure)=-/365 ~ For =0, 0-Choose- = 90. E={o eole have the same birthda is the evet all 90 airs fail (have differet birthdas)}, the P(E) = P(failure) 90 = = Hece, P(at-least-oe-success)=-0.59=0.4, quite high. ote: for =4 P>0.9 Slide Prize ($) x 3 Probabilit r(x) What we would "exect" from 00 games add across row umber of games wo $ wo Sum Total rize moe = Sum; Exected values The game of chace: cost to la:$.50; Prices {$, $, $3}, robabilities of wiig each rice are {0.6, 0.3, 0.}, resectivel.

Slide 7 Poulatio stadard deviatio For the Biomial distributio... mea E(X) =, sd( X) = (- ) The oulatio stadard deviatio is sd( X) = E[(X - µ) ] ote that if X is a RV, the (X-µ) is also a RV, ad so is (X-µ). Hece, the exectatio, E[(X-µ) ], maes sese.

E(aX + b) = a E(X) +b Ad similarl for the stadard deviatio (b, a additive factor, does ot affect the SD). SD(aX +b) = a SD(X) Slide 37 Wh is that so? E(aX + b) = a E(X) +b SD(aX +b) = a SD(X) E(aX + b) = (a x + b) P(X = x) = a x P(X = x) + b P(X = x) = a x P(X = x) + b P(X = x) = ae(x) + b = ae(x) + b.

E(aX + b) = a E(X) +b SD(aX +b) = a SD(X) -comletel geeral strateg for comutig the distributios of RV s which are obtaied from other RV s with ow distributio. E.g., X~(0,), ad Y=aX+b, the we eed ot calculate the mea ad the SD of Y. We ow from the above formulas that E(Y) = b ad SD(Y) = a. -These formulas hold for all distributios, ot ol for Biomial ad ormal. Slide 40 Liear Scalig (affie trasformatios) ax + b Meas ad Variaces for (i)deedet Variables! Ad wh do we care? E(aX + b) = a E(X) +b SD(aX +b) = a SD(X) -E.g., sa the rules for the game of chace we saw before chage ad the ew a-off is as follows: {$0, $.50, $3}, with robabilities of {0.6, 0.3, 0.}, as before. What is the ewl exected retur of the game? Remember the old exectatio was equal to the etrace fee of $.50, ad the game was fair! Y = 3(X-)/ {$, $, $3} {$0, $.50, $3}, E(Y) = 3/ E(X) 3/ = 3 / 4 = $0.75 Ad the game became clearl biased. ote how eas it is to comute E(Y).
