Data Analysis and Probability

Understanding and Predicting

Data analysis means collecting, organizing, and interpreting numbers. Probability predicts how likely something is to happen.

Interpreting Data

You’ll see tables, charts, and graphs. Look for patterns, maximums, minimums, and averages (mean, median, mode).

Probability Basics

Probability is between 0 (impossible) and 1 (certain). The probability of an event is:

\( P = \frac{\text{Number of Favorable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Possible Outcomes}} \)

Where Is This Used?

Weather forecasts, sports statistics, and games of chance all use probability and data analysis.

Examples

  • Rolling a 3 on a fair six-sided die has probability \( \frac{1}{6} \).

  • The average (mean) of 3, 7, 8 is \( \frac{3+7+8}{3} = 6 \).

In a Nutshell

Data analysis and probability help us make sense of information and chances in daily life.
