Hyperlink
A hyperlink, or merely a link, is a reference data that the reader can directly follow by clicking
or tapping. Hyperlinks are found in nearly all Web pages, allowing users to click their way
from one page to another. In-text hyperlinks are often color blue and underlined.
When you move the cursor over a hyperlink, whether it is text, button, or an image, the arrow
cursor should be changed to a small hand pointing to the link. Hyperlinks have to essential
parts:
1. The Address – can be a webpage, email address, or other location they are linking.
2. The Display – can be picture or shape.

Common Error Values That You Can Encounter from Faulty Formulas
1. #DIV/0! - Appears when entering a formula that performs explicit division by zero (0),
using a reference to a blank cell or to a cell that contains zero as the divisor in a formula or
function that performs division or running a macro that uses a function or a formula that
returns the #DIV/0! Error.
2. ##### - appears when the column is not wide enough to display the content and dates
and times are negative numbers. The solution is to increase the column width.
3. #NAME? It appears when the formula refers to a range name that doesn't exist in the
worksheet.
4. #N/A – appears when
a. an inappropriate value was given for the lookup value argument in the HLOOKUP,
LOOKUP, MATCH, or VLOOKUP worksheet function,
b. the VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, or MATCH worksheet function was used to locate a value
in an unsorted table,
c. an array formula (array formula: A formula that performs multiple calculations on one
or more sets of values and then returns either a single result or multiple results. Array
formulas are enclosed between braces { } and are entered by pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.)
d. one or more required arguments were omitted from a built-in or custom worksheet
function,
e. a custom worksheet function that you use is not available and
f. a macro that you run enters a function that returns #N/A.
5. #NULL! It appears most often when you insert a space (where you should have used a
comma) to separate cell references used as arguments for functions.
6. #NUM! It appears when Excel encounters a problem with a number in the formula, such
as the wrong type of argument in an Excel function or a calculation that produces a number
too large or too small to be represented in the worksheet.
7. #REF! It appears when Excel encounters an invalid cell reference, such as when you
delete a cell referred to in a formula or paste cells over the cells referred to in a formula.
8. #VALUE! It appears when you use the wrong type of argument or operator in a function or
when you call for a mathematical operation that refers to cells that contain text entries.
STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY
Normal Distribution
Normal Random Variable
• named for the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855), who
derived its equation.
• No variable fits a normal distribution perfectly since a normal distribution is a
theoretical distribution.
• can be used to describe many variables, because the deviations from a normal
distribution are very small.
Normal Distribution
1. Theoretical Nature of Normal Distribution: A normal distribution is an idealized
mathematical model characterized by a specific shape (bell curve) and defined by
parameters such as mean and standard deviation. It serves as a theoretical construct
and is not expected to perfectly match any real-world dataset.
2. Imperfect Fits: In practice, real-world data rarely conforms exactly to a normal
distribution. Various factors, such as outliers, skewness, or the influence of other
underlying processes, can contribute to deviations from the idealized normal
distribution.
3. Descriptive Power: Despite its theoretical nature and the imperfections in fitting real-
world data precisely, normal distribution is a powerful and widely used tool in
statistics. Many natural phenomena exhibit behavior that is reasonably well
approximated by a normal distribution.
4. Small Deviations: The statement suggests that while no variable perfectly follows a
normal distribution, the deviations from the idealized normal curve are typically small.
This implies that, for many practical purposes, using a normal distribution to model
and analyze data can be effective and yields meaningful results.
Characteristics
1. A normal distribution is symmetric.
2. Bell-shaped Curve
3. Mean, Median, and Mode Equality
4. Unimodal (i.e., it has only one mode)
5. Symmetry
6. Asymptotic Tails
7. Parameters - Mean and Standard Deviation
8. 68-95-99.7 Rule (Empirical Rule): This rule states that approximately 68% of the data
falls within one standard deviation of the mean, about 95% within two standard
deviations, and nearly 99.7% within three standard deviations. This property is
derived from the normal distribution and is useful for understanding the spread of
data.
9. Z-Scores: Z-scores, or standard scores, are used to measure the number of standard
deviations a particular data point is from the mean in a normal distribution.
10. Total Area: The total area under a normal curve is 1.
Skewed Distribution
• asymmetric distribution
• NOT evenly distributed around the mean.
• Cluster more towards one end of the distribution.
• In general, when most of the data values fall to the left or right of the mean, the
distribution is said to be skewed.
• The right side of the distribution is longer than the left side.
• left side is longer than the right side.
