Chapter 1.

Ideally no difference between treatment and control group :


But:
1.confounding factor
2.double-blind
3.placebo
4.randomization(no systematic)
----------------------------
Chapter 3: histogram
1.how to draw:
Convert count to % if necessary , find widths then height = Area (%)/width, draw
axis and labels and bars
2.Facts:
a.area=% total A = 100%
B.class intervals are ranges for x (each class int corresponds to a bar)
C. density scale is y axis (units are % per x unit)
3.Discrete histograms have bars centered on values , edges +- 0.5,width=1
*****Use continuity.correction when doing normal approx JUST for a 0,1 box
(binomial) +0.5 for edge
4.For continuous histograms,(bars include left end not right)

Chapter 4:summary statistics


----------------------------
Chapter 5: normal curve
Normal curve is a histogram
Convert value to SU(z) to percentile(area)
SU tell how many SD above or below avg a value is
----------------------------
Chapter 13-14
Complement :
(at least one, not all
----------------------------
Chapter 15 Binomial
n!/k!(n-k)! # #sequences p^k(1-p)^(n-k)# probability of one sequence
Adding p up #sequence many times, as long as chance of each sequence is the same
IF chance not equal
Ex: 2 spade in 5 cards
p^k(1-p)^(n-k)=ssnotnotnot = 13/52 12/51 39/50 38/49 37/48
And we there are 5!/2!3! Ways of ordering ssnotnotnot
----------------------------
Chapter 16: law of avg/ box model
1.LOA: actual= EV+chance error
#rep inc, chance error inc in absolute terms
#rep inc, chance error dec for % or avg
2. Box models:
1.what # goes on tickets(what could happen to sum of draws on each draw?)
2.how many of each (should reflect chances)
3.how many draws(with replacement)

----------------------------
Chapter 17,20.1-3,23.1: SE% SEavg�
----------------------------
Chapter 18: Probhist and normal curve
***Sum of draws are discrete : need continuity correction for (0s 1s) box
avg,% are continuous

1.probhist
As #rep inc, empirical hist.(proportion of each bar happening) Gets closer to
prob.hist.(probability of each bar happening)
2.
As #draws, prob hist. Gets closer to normal curve

continuity correction----> + - 0.5 to edges of bar use for (0,1) box and find area
of bars
