Modeling with Probability and Statistics

When Uncertainty Matters

Some problems involve chance or randomness. Probability and statistics help us model and analyze uncertain situations.

Probability Models

These models predict the likelihood of events, like rolling dice or drawing cards.

Statistical Models

Statistics use data to find patterns, relationships, and make predictions.

Why Use These Models?

  • Deal with uncertainty.
  • Make predictions based on data.
  • Test ideas or hypotheses.

Common Tools

  • Probability distributions (like the normal distribution)
  • Regression analysis

Examples

  • Predicting the chance of rain using weather data.

  • Modeling the likelihood of winning a game with dice.

In a Nutshell

Probability and statistics help model situations with uncertainty or randomness.

Key Terms

Probability
The measure of how likely an event is to occur.
Regression
A method for finding relationships between variables in data.
