4 Homework Problem Problem Show that if A and B are independent events then A c and B c are also independent events. 3
5 Homework Problem Problem Show that if A and B are independent events then A c and B c are also independent events. Solutions Goal: Prob(A c B c ) = Prob(A c ) Prob(B c ). 3
6 Homework Problem Problem Show that if A and B are independent events then A c and B c are also independent events. Solutions Goal: Prob(A c B c ) = Prob(A c ) Prob(B c ). Prob(A c B c ) = 1 Prob(A B). 3
7 Homework Problem Problem Show that if A and B are independent events then A c and B c are also independent events. Solutions Goal: Prob(A c B c ) = Prob(A c ) Prob(B c ). Prob(A c B c ) = 1 Prob(A B). 1 Prob(A B) = 1 (Prob(A) + Prob(B) Prob(A B)) = 1 (Prob(A) + Prob(B) Prob(A) Prob(B)) = 1 Prob(A) Prob(B) + Prob(A) Prob(B)). 3
8 Homework Problem Problem Show that if A and B are independent events then A c and B c are also independent events. Solutions Goal: Prob(A c B c ) = Prob(A c ) Prob(B c ). Prob(A c B c ) = 1 Prob(A B). 1 Prob(A B) = 1 (Prob(A) + Prob(B) Prob(A B)) = 1 (Prob(A) + Prob(B) Prob(A) Prob(B)) = 1 Prob(A) Prob(B) + Prob(A) Prob(B)). On the other hand, Prob(A c ) Prob(B c ) = (1 Prob(A))(1 Prob(B)) = 1 Prob(A) Prob(B) + Prob(A) Prob(B)) 3
9 Homework Problem Problem Show that if A and B are independent events then A c and B c are also independent events. Solutions Goal: Prob(A c B c ) = Prob(A c ) Prob(B c ). Prob(A c B c ) = 1 Prob(A B). 1 Prob(A B) = 1 (Prob(A) + Prob(B) Prob(A B)) = 1 (Prob(A) + Prob(B) Prob(A) Prob(B)) = 1 Prob(A) Prob(B) + Prob(A) Prob(B)). On the other hand, Prob(A c ) Prob(B c ) = (1 Prob(A))(1 Prob(B)) = 1 Prob(A) Prob(B) + Prob(A) Prob(B)) Therefore, Prob(A c B c ) = Prob(A c ) Prob(B c ). 3

11 This class Mean and variance of a discrete random variable Special case: Mean and variance of a binomial random variable Die rolling example Many random variables: sum and average 5
12 The mean of a discrete random variable Recall that the probability distribution of a discrete R.V. X can be written as 6
13 The mean of a discrete random variable Recall that the probability distribution of a discrete R.V. X can be written as The mean of X is defined as µ = v 1Prob(X = v 1) v k Prob(X = v k ) = k v i Prob(X = v i ). i=1 6
14 The mean of a discrete random variable Recall that the probability distribution of a discrete R.V. X can be written as The mean of X is defined as µ = v 1Prob(X = v 1) v k Prob(X = v k ) = k v i Prob(X = v i ). i=1 Intuition: center of gravity of a probability distribution 6

X can be written as The mean of X is defined as µ = v 1Prob(X = v 1) v k Prob(X = v k ) = k v i Prob(X = v i ). i=1 Intuition: center of gravity of a probability distribution Notation µ is often used for mean. 6

X can be written as The mean of X is defined as µ = v 1Prob(X = v 1) v k Prob(X = v k ) = k v i Prob(X = v i ). i=1 Intuition: center of gravity of a probability distribution Notation µ is often used for mean. A mean is not an average. 6
17 The variance of a discrete random variable The variance of X is defined as σ 2 = (v 1 µ) 2 Prob(X = v 1) (v k µ) 2 Prob(X = v k ) k = (v i µ) 2 Prob(X = v i ). i=1 The variance is a measure of the dispersion (spread-out-ness) of the probability distribution of the random variable around its mean. The larger the variance, the more spread out the probability distribution is. Notation σ 2 is often used for variance (a variance is a parameter), with σ being its standard deviation. 7

23 Binomial Distribution A random variable X is said to have a Binomial(n, θ) distribution if it has the probability distribution ( ) Prob(X = x) = n x θ x (1 θ) n x, x = 0, 1, 2,..., n. (We call n the index of the distribution, θ the parameter of the distribution.) 11
24 Binomial Distribution A random variable X is said to have a Binomial(n, θ) distribution if it has the probability distribution ( ) Prob(X = x) = n x θ x (1 θ) n x, x = 0, 1, 2,..., n. (We call n the index of the distribution, θ the parameter of the distribution.) Mean µ = nθ; Variance σ 2 = nθ(1 θ). This is the short formula for binomial distribution ONLY! 11
25 Practice Problems Practice Problem Calculate the mean and variance of a r.v. X with binomial distribution Binomial(2, 0.7) by the binomial charts; by the probability distribution formula P(X = x) = ( n x) θ x (1 θ) n x ; by the short formula. 12
26 Die rolling example Let X i be the number that will turn up in the i-th rolling (i = 1, 2,..., 1000). 13
27 Die rolling example Let X i be the number that will turn up in the i-th rolling (i = 1, 2,..., 1000). i.i.d: Random variables which are independent of each other, and which all have the same probability distribution, are said to be i.i.d (independently and identically distributed). 13
28 Die rolling example Let X i be the number that will turn up in the i-th rolling (i = 1, 2,..., 1000). i.i.d: Random variables which are independent of each other, and which all have the same probability distribution, are said to be i.i.d (independently and identically distributed). The mean is not an average: mean µ, observed data average x, random variable average X. (parameter, data, random variable). 13

The mean is not an average: mean µ, observed data average x, random variable average X. (parameter, data, random variable). Probabilities that are used in statistics, if we roll a die 1000 times, assuming the die is fair, then with probability 0.95, the average lies in the interval [3.392, 3.608], that is, Prob(3.392 X 3.608)

31 Many random variables Given n random variables X 1, X 2,..., X n, we can define two other random variables: The sum, denoted by T n : T n = X 1 + X X n ; The average, denoted by X, X = X1+X2+...+Xn n = Tn n. Both the sum and the average, being random variables, each have a probability distribution, and thus each has a mean and variance. An average is a totally different concept from a mean a mean is a parameter. 14
32 Mean and Variance of X Given n i.i.d. random variables X 1, X 2,..., X n with mean µ and variance σ 2, we define two other random variables: The sum, denoted by T n : T n = X 1 + X X n ; The average, denoted by X, X = X1+X2+...+Xn n = Tn n. Must-know formula for T n and X Mean of T n = nµ; Variance of T n = nσ 2 ; Mean of X = µ; Variance of X = σ 2 /n. 15

More informationAs you draw random samples of size n, as n increases, the sample means tend to be normally distributed.
The Central Limit Theorem The central limit theorem (clt for short) is one of the most powerful and useful ideas in all of statistics. The clt says that if we collect samples of size n with a "large enough
