We often need to spot a pattern in order to predict what will happen next.
The first number in a SEQUENCE is sometimes called the FIRST TERM; the second is the
SECOND TERM and so on.
For any pattern it is important to try to spot what is happening before you can predict the
next number.
The first 2 or 3 numbers is rarely enough to show the full pattern - 4 or 5 numbers are best.
For any pattern it is important to try to spot what is happening before you can predict the

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next term is a
constant.
For example:
o It’s rule is an = 3n – 2.
a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, …
4. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, …
1. d = -3
2. d = 1.1
3. d = -9
An = 19 - 6(n-1)
A12 = 19 - 6(12-1)
A12 = 19 - 6(11)
A12 = 19 – 66
A12 = -47
1. What is the fiftieth term of the arithmetic sequence 3, 7, 11, 15, ... ?
An = a + d(n-1) An = a + d(n-1)
n = 50 A50 = 3 + 4(49)
xn = a + d(n-1) xn = a + d(n-1)
X32 = 143
3. The first term of an arithmetic sequence is 4 and the tenth term is 67. What is the
common difference?
a=4 67 = 4 + d(10-1)
n = 10 67 = 4 + d (9)
Xn = 67 67 = 4 + 9d
d=? 67 – 4 = 9d
63 = 9d
9 9
Recitation:
5. What is the 19th term of the arithmetic sequence 21, 18, 15, 12, ... ?
6. The sixth term of an arithmetic sequence is 17 and the tenth term is 41. What is the first
term?
Geometric Sequence
For example:
It’s rule is xn = 2n
1. 2, 8, 32, 128, …
3. 1, -1, 1, -1, …
4. 20, 16, 12, 8, 4, …
5.
1. r = 4
2. r = 10
3. r = -1
xn = (3)(2)(n-1)
(Order of operations states that we would take care of exponents before you
multiply.)
x12 = (3)(2)(12-1)
x12 = (3)(2)(11)
x12 = (3)(2048)
x12 = 6,144
More Examples:
What is the eleventh term of the geometric sequence 3, 6, 12, 24, ... ?
Solution:
xn = ar(n-1)
n = 11 x11 = (3)(2)(10)
What is the ninth term of the geometric sequence 81, 27, 9, 3, ... ?
Solution:
xn = ar(n-1)
r = 1/3 x9 = (81)(1/3)(9-1)
n=9 x9 = (81)(1/3)(8)
x9 = ? x9 = (81)(1/6,561)
The first term of a geometric sequence is 5 and the sixth term is 160.
What is the common ratio?
Solution:
xn = ar(n-1)
a=5 xn = ar(n-1) 32 = r5

PARTS
Set and Set Operations
Introduction
A well – defined set is a set in which we know for sure if an element belongs to that
set.
Example:
o The set of all movies in which John Cazale appears is well – defined. (Name
the movies, and what do they have in common? There are only 5.)
o The set of all movie serials made by Republic Pictures is well – defined.
o The set of best TV shows of all time is not well – defined. (It is a matter of
opinion.)
Notation
When talking about a set we usually denote the set with a capital letter.
Roster notation is the method of describing a set by listing each element of the set.
o Example: Let C = The set of all movies in which John Cazale appears. The
Roster notation would be C={The Godfather, The Conversation, The
Godfather II, Dog Day Afternoon, The Deer Hunter }. (All 5 of these movies
were nominated for Best Picture by the Motion Picture Academy.)
o Example: Let set A = The set of odd numbers greater than zero, and less than
10. The roster notation of A={1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
More on Notation
Sometimes we can’t list all the elements of a set. For instance, Z = The set of integer
numbers. We can’t write out all the integers, there infinitely many integers. So we adopt a
convention using dots …
When it is not convenient to list all the elements of a set, we use a notation the
employs the rules in which an element is a member of the set. This is called set –
builder notation.
A = {x | x > 5} = This is the set A that has all real numbers greater than 5.
= {0, 1, 2, 3, …}
The Universal Set denoted by U is the set of all possible elements used in a problem.
When every element of one set is also an element of another set, we say the first set
is a subset.
.
Intersection of sets
When an element of a set belongs to two or more sets we say the sets will intersect.
The intersection of a set A and a set B is denoted by A ∩ B.
A ∩ B = {x| x is in A and x is in B}
Note the usage of and. This is similar to conjunction. A ^ B.
Example A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Then A ∩ B = {1, 3, 5}. Note that 1, 3, 5 are in both A and B.
Union of sets
A U B = {x| x is in A or x is in B}
Using the set A and the set B from the previous slide, then the union of A, B is A U B
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9}.
The elements of the union are in A or in B or in both. If elements are in both sets, we
do not repeat them.
Complement of a Set
Cardinal Number
The Cardinal Number of a set is the number of elements in the set and is denoted by
n(A).
The Cardinal Number formula for the union of two sets is n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) –
n(A∩B).
The Cardinal number formula for the complement of a set is n(A) + n(A ’) = n(U).
Problem solving is more of an art than a science. We will now suggest some useful
strategies; however, just as we cannot list a set of rules describing how to write a novel, we
cannot specify a series of steps that will enable you to solve every problem. Artists,
composers, and writers make creative decisions as to how to use their tools, and so you
also must be creative in using your mathematical tools.
Mathematics is not as rigid as you may believe from your past experiences. It is
important to use the strategies in this section to keep your focus on understanding
concepts rather then memorizing formulas. If you do this, you may be surprised to find that
a given problem can be solved in several different ways.
DRAW A PICTURES
Problems usually contain several conditions that must be satisfied. You will find it useful to
draw pictures to understand these conditions before trying to solve the problem.
Example: Each person in a group of four will shake hands with all the others. How
many handshakes?
It is a good practice to name the objects in a problem so you can remember their
meaning easily.
Example: One group of dance students is taking swing lessons and another is taking
Latin dance.
BE SYSTEMATIC
If you approach a situation in an organized, systematic way, frequently you will gain insight
into the problem.
If you can recognize a pattern in a situation you are studying, you can often use it to answer
questions about that situation.
You can begin to understand a complex problem by solving some scaled-down versions of
the problem. Once you recognize a pattern in the way you are solving the simpler
problems, then you can carry over this insight to attack the full-blown problem.
GUESSING IS OK
One of the difficulties in solving word problems is that you can be afraid to say something
that may be wrong and consequently sit staring at a problem, writing nothing until you
have the full-blown solution. Making guesses, even incorrect guesses, is not a bad way to
begin. It may give you some understanding of the problem. Once you make a guess,
evaluate it to see how close you are to meeting all the conditions of the problem.
An effective technique in solving a new problem is to try to connect it with a problem you
have solved earlier. It is often possible to rewrite a condition so that the problem becomes
exactly like one you have seen before.
Some Mathematical Principles
When we say a statement is true in mathematics, we are saying that the statement is true
100% of the time. One of the great strengths of mathematics is that we do not deal with
statements that are “sometimes true” or “usually true.”
When you read mathematical notation, pay careful attention to the order in which the
operations must be performed. The order in which we do things in mathematics is as
important as it is in everyday life. When getting dressed in the morning, it makes a
difference whether you first put on your socks and then your shoes, or first put on your
shoes and then your socks. Although the difference may not seem as dramatic, reversing
the order of mathematical operations can also give unacceptable results. Note that we are
not saying that it is always wrong to reverse the order of mathematical operations; we are
saying that if you reverse the order of operations, you may accidentally change the meaning
of your calculations.
You should “split hairs” when reading mathematical terminology. If two terms are similar
but sound slightly different, they usually do not mean exactly the same thing. In everyday
English, we may use the words equal and equivalent interchangeably; however, in
mathematics they do not mean the same thing. The same is true for notation. When you
encounter different-looking notation or terminology, work hard to get a clear idea of
exactly what the difference is. Representing your ideas precisely is part of good problem
solving.
THE ANALOGIES PRINCIPLE
Much of the formal terminology that we use in mathematics sounds like words that we use
in everyday life. This is not a coincidence. Whenever you can associate ideas from real life
with mathematical concepts, you will better understand the meaning behind the
mathematics you are learning.
We conclude this section with a method for approaching mathematical concepts that we
illustrate in Figure 1.6.
Whether you are learning a new concept or trying to gain insight into a problem, it is
helpful to use the ideas we have discussed in this chapter to approach mathematical
situations in three ways.
• Verbally—Make analogies. State the problem in your own words. Compare it with
situations you have seen in other areas of mathematics.
Not every one of these three approaches fits every situation. However, if you get in the
habit of using a verbal-graphical-example approach to doing mathematics, you will find
that mathematics is more meaningful and less dependent on rote memorization. If you
practice approaching mathematics using the strategies and principles that we have
discussed, you will find eventually that you are more comfortable and more successful in
your mathematical studies.
PROBLEM SOLVING
When solving a problem, one must understand the question, gather all pertinent facts,
analyze the problem i.e. compare with previous problems (note similarities and
differences), perhaps use pictures or formulas to solve the problem.
DEDUCTIVE REASONING
Deductive Reasoning – A type of logic in which one goes from a general statement to a
specific instance.
Syllogism: An argument composed of two statements or premises (the major and minor
premises), followed by a conclusion.
For any given set of premises, if the conclusion is guaranteed, the arguments is said to be
valid.
If the conclusion is not guaranteed (at least one instance in which the conclusion does not
follow), the argument is said to be invalid.
Examples:
Therefore, x is q. (conclusion)

EXAMPLE
EXAMPLES
insurance.
VALID OR INVALID?????
EXAMPLES
Let the yellow oval be professors, and the blue oval be glass wearers. Then x (Mr.
Einstein) is in the blue oval, but not in the overlapping region. The argument is invalid.
INDUCTIVE REASONING
Inductive Reasoning, involves going from a series of specific cases to a general statement.
The conclusion in an inductive argument is never guaranteed.
Example: What is the next number in the sequence 6, 13, 20, 27,…
13 – 6 = 7, 20 – 13 = 7, 27 – 20 = 7
However what if the sequence represents the dates. Then the next number could be 3 (31
days in a month).
The next number could be 4 (30 day month)

A Quote
“When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know
something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in
numbers, your knowledge is of the meager and unsatisfactory kind’,
The word statistics is believed to have been derived from the word “states”. The
administration of states required the collection and analysis of data of population and
wealth for the purpose of war and finance.
The fertile grounds for application and development of statistical methods included;
insurance, biology and other natural sciences.
To date, there is hardly any discipline which does not find statistics useful.
Economics, sociology, business, agriculture, health and education; all lean heavily
upon statistics.
Sources of data
1. Primary sources.
Censuses
Surveys
Experiments
The great advantage of such data is that the exact information wanted is obtained.
2. Secondary Sources.
Often data is picked from reports and publications of researchers, institutions and
organizations. Such data is referred to as secondary.
Uses of statistics
Statistics is a discipline which was developed to extract relevant facts from a large body of
information and to help people make decisions when uncertainty exists concerning the
information.
Statistics form the basis for planning. Statistics provide information and data (facts and
figures) as an input for planning, monitoring and evaluation of programmes.

INFERENTIAL STATISTICS
o Inferential Statistics – are used to analyze data after you have conducted an
experiment to determine whether your independent variable had a
significant effect.
MEASUREMENT
Scales of Measurement – are the particular set of rules in assigning a symbol to the event in
question.
SCALES OF MEASUREMENT
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS
Frequency Distributions – show how often each score occurs in your research.
o Some easy steps to follow that will help you construct a frequency
distribution are:
In one column make a list of the categories for which you have
frequencies. If you categories are ordinal, interval, or ratio arrange
them in order from highest to lowest.
Create a second column to the right of the first column. Label this
column “tally.” Create a third column to the right of the second. Label
this column “frequencies.”
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS
Frequency Distributions – show how often each score occurs in your research.
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS
There are several types of graphs from which the researcher can choose. Your
choice of graphs will be determined by which one depicts your results most
effectively and by the scale of measurement you used.
TYPES OF GRAPHS
Pie Chart – depicts the percentage represented by each alternative as a slice of a circular
pie; the larger the slice, the greater the percentage.
Bar Graph – presents data in terms of frequencies per category. You will construct a
bar graph when you are using nominal (or qualitative) categories that cannot be
numerically ordered from lowest to highest.
Frequency Polygon – like the histogram, displays the frequency of each number or
score. The only differences between these two graphs are the use of bars in the
histogram and the use of connected dots in the frequency polygon.
Line Graph – in line graphs, there are two axes or dimensions that must be
discussed.
The vertical (Y axis) is known as the ordinate; the horizontal (X axis) is known as
the abscissa.
One of your variables is plotted on the ordinate and the other is plotted on the
abscissa.
A good guideline is to plot the variable that has the greatest number of levels on the
abscissa, and thus reducing the number of lines that will appear on your graph.
Line Graph
o How tall should the Y axis be? How long should the X axis be?
Statisticians use several specific terms to describe the different shapes these
distributions can assume.
Measures of central tendency tell us about the typical score in a distribution. There
are three measures of central tendency:
Median – is the number or score that divides the distribution into equal
halves (i.e., the median is the 50th percentile). To be able to calculate the
median, you must first rank order the scores.
Mean – the mean is defined as the arithmetic average. To find the mean, you
add up all the scores in the distribution and then divide by the number of
scores that are added.
The mean is found by adding all the values in the set, then dividing the sum by the number
of values.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses 3 different measures of central tendency: the mean, mode and the
median.
Arithmetic Mean
- oftenly called mean, is the most frequently used measure of central tendency.
- It is the only common measure in which all values plays equal role meaning to determine
its values you would need to consider all the values of any given data set.
The symbol, called “x bar”, is used to represent the mean of a sample and the symbol, called
“mu”, is used to denote the mean of a population.
A. Properties of Mean
3. All values in the data set are included in computing the mean.
6. The mean cannot be computed for the data in a frequency distribution with an open
ended class.

SOLUTION:
3.4 MEDIAN
Data Array - when the data set is ordered whether ascending or descending.
A. Properties of Median:
1. The median is unique, there is only one median for a set of data.
2. The median is found by arranging the set of data from lowest to highest and getting the
value of the middle observation.
2. If n is even, then the median is the average of the two middle ranked values.
Formula 3-9
EXAMPLE 1:
Find the median of the ages of 9 middle-management employees of a certain company. the
ages are 53, 45, 59, 48, 54, 46, 51, 58, and 55.

3.5 MODE
Mode - the value in the data set that appeared most frequently.
Unimodal - a data set that has only one value that occur greates frequency.
Bimodal - if the data has two values with the same greatest frequency, both considered the
mode.
Properties of Mode
3. There can be more than one mode or even no mode in any given data set.
5. Mode can be applied for nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio data.
EXAMPLE 1:
The following data represent the total unit sales for Smartphones from a sample of 10
Communication Centers for the month of August: 15, 17, 10, 12, 13, 10, 14, 10, 8, and 9.
Find the mode.
SOLUTION:
The ordered array for these data is 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17.
Because 10 appear 3 times, more times than the other value, therefore the mode is 10.
EXAMPLE 2:
Find the mode of the ages of 9 middle-management employees of a certain company. The
ages are 53, 45, 59, 48, 54, 46, 51, 58 and 55.
SOLUTION:
The ordered array for these data is 45, 46, 48, 51, 53, 54, 55, 58, 59.
There is no mode since the data set has the same frequency.
3.6 MIDRANGE
Midrange - the average of the lowest and highest value in a data set.
Formula 3-12
where:
Properties of Midrange
EXAMPLE:
SOLUTION:
EXERCISE
1. Consider the sample 18, 27, 30, 46, 50, 44, 52, 53, 61, 48, 35, and 51. Find the measures
of central tendencies.
2. Consider the sample 77, 80, 87, 84, 76, 70, 76, 75, 80, 63, 76, 39, 76, 77, 90, and 80. Find
the measures of central tendencies.
3. Upon examining the monthly billing records of an online book company, the auditor
takes a sample of 16 of its paid accounts. The amounts collected by the company were:
