Probability and Statistics

Understanding Probability

Probability measures how likely something is to happen. It ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).

  • Flipping a coin: Probability of heads is \(1/2\).
  • Rolling a die: Probability of rolling a 3 is \(1/6\).

What Is Statistics?

Statistics deals with collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. It helps make sense of information, from sports scores to survey results.

Key Concepts

  • Mean (average): Sum of values divided by number of values.
  • Median: The middle value when data is ordered.
  • Mode: The value that appears most often.

Real-World Impact

Probability and statistics are used in weather forecasting, game strategies, and making business decisions.

Examples

  • Finding the average score of test results.

  • Calculating the odds of drawing a red card from a deck.

In a Nutshell

Probability and statistics help you make decisions and predictions based on data.
