The formula sheet covers descriptive statistics, probability rules and concepts, and several common probability distributions including binomial, hypergeometric, negative binomial, Poisson, and their key properties.

The formula sheet covers the binomial, hypergeometric, negative binomial, and Poisson probability distributions. It provides the probability mass functions and key properties for each distribution.

For a binomial random variable X~B(n,p), the mean is np and the variance is npq. The probability mass function is P(X=x) = (nCx)pxq^n-x, where x ranges from 0 to n.

Complement Rule: P(A) = 1 P(A)

General Addition Rule: P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A B)

Special Addition Rule: P(A B) = P(A) + P(B)

P(A B)
Conditional Probability Formula: P A | B

General Multiplication Rule: P(A B) = P(A) * P(B | A)

Special Multiplication Rule: P(A B) = P(A) * P(B)

Total-Probability Rule: P B P A i *P B | A i

P A * P B | A
Bayes' Rule: P A | B
P A * P B | A P A ' * P B | A '

III. Probability Distributions

Probability Distribution of a Discrete Random Variable:


E(X) = = xP(x) V(X) = 2 = x 2 P(x) - 2

Probability Distribution of X~B(n, p):


n
P(x) = p x q n-x , x = 0, 1, 2, ..., n
x
E(X) = np V(X) = npq
Probability Distribution of X~H(n, M, N):
M N-M
x n-x
P(x) = , for max(0, n - (N - M)) x min(n, M)

M N-n M M
E(X) = n V(X) = n 1-

N N-1 N N

Probability Distribution of X~NB(r, p):


x + r - 1 r x
P(x) = p q , x = 0, 1, 2, ...
r-1
r(1 - p) r(1 - p)
E(X) = V(X) =
p p2

Probability Distribution of X~Poisson():


e- x
P(x) = , x = 0, 1, 2, ..., E(X) = V(X) =
x!
If X~B(n, p) with n 100 and p .01, then X ~ Poisson(np)
