Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics
Probability theory leads us from data collection (Chapter 8 & Chapter 9) to inference.
The rules of probability will allow us to develop models so that we can generalize from our
(properly collected) sample to our population of interest.
10.0 Introducing Probability
![Page 3: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Idea of Probability
▸ We can trust random samples and randomized comparative
experiments because of chance behavior—chance behavior is
unpredictable in the short run but has a regular and predictable pattern
in the long run.

Predicting Chance Behavior
▸ What should happen to the long run proportion of heads as we take
more flips?
▸ Probability theory informs us that the sample proportion of heads
should ‘converge’ to the population proportion (50%).
10.1 The Idea of Probability
![Page 11: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Key Terminology—Randomness and Probability
▸ We call a phenomenon random if individual outcomes are uncertain
but there is nonetheless a regular distribution of outcomes in
a large number of repetitions.
▸ The probability of any outcome of a random phenomenon is the
proportion of times the outcome would occur in a very long series of
repetitions.
10.2 Randomness and Probability
![Page 12: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Randomness and Probability
▸ Technically, physically tossing a coin or rolling a die is predictable. If theoretically, the same force, angles, etc… are applied, the results should remain the same. But, usually persons apply differing amounts to these variables, thus resulting in what appears to be a random process.
▸ Using technology simulations (via graphing calculators or JMP) restore the randomness to the process.
10.2 Randomness and Probability

Key Terminology—Probability Models
▸ The sample space S of a random phenomenon is the set of all
possible outcomes.
▸ An event is an outcome or a set of outcomes of a random
phenomenon. That is, an event is a subset of the sample space. For
an event A, the probability that A occurs is denoted P(A).
▸ A probability model is a mathematical description of a random
phenomenon consisting of two parts:
a sample space S and a way of assigning probabilities to events.
10.3 Probability Models

Proportions and Probabilities
▸ Beginning with Chapter 10, we will transition away from what proportion of persons have some characteristic to what is the probability that some event occurs.
10.3 Probability Models
![Page 23: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Basic Rules of Probability
▸ The probability of each event assumes a number on the
closed interval [0,1].
▸ All outcomes of the sample space must total to 1.
▸ Addition Rule for disjoint events.
Two events are disjoint if they have no events in common.
In these cases P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B).
▸ Complement Rule
For any event A,
P(A does not occur) = 1 – P(A).
10.4 Probability Rules
![Page 24: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example: Sales Effectiveness
▸ We are familiar with these rules already. From the earlier example
regarding result of sale, P(Aggressive) = 54%.
10.4 Probability Rules
![Page 25: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Example: Sales Effectiveness
▸ We are familiar with these rules already. From the earlier example
regarding result of sale, P(Aggressive) = 54%.
Using the complement rule,
P(not Aggressive) = 1- .54 = .46 = P(Passive)

Finite and Discrete Probability Models
Discrete probability models have countable outcomes.
These outcomes either assume fixed values or are Natural
numbers {0, 1, 2, …}.
10.5 Finite and Discrete Probability Models
![Page 27: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Finite and Discrete Probability Models
▸ Example: Within the next 30 seconds, write down as many Michael
Jackson songs as possible.

Continuous Probability Models
▸ A continuous probability model assigns probabilities as areas under
a density curve.
▸ The area under the curve and above any range of values is the
probability of an outcome in that range.
10.6 Continuous Probability Models
![Page 29: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Continuous Probability Models
Recall from Chapter 3:
A density curve is the overall pattern of a distribution.The area under the curve for a given range of values
along the x- axis is the proportion of the population that falls in that range.
A density curve has total area 1 underneath it.
10.6 Continuous Probability Models

Density Curves
▸ Example (from Chp. 3): Despite any rare arctic blasts, January high temperatures in Columbus tend to be uniformly distributed between 35 and 40 degrees.
height =
35 40

Example: Length of a Michael Jackson Song
▸ What is the sample space for the length (in minutes) of a Michael
Jackson song?
Thriller 5:57 Billie Jean 4:54 Smooth Criminal 4:17 Black or
White 3:18
S = {all numbers between 0 and infinity?} (0,
▸ Continuous variables can assume all numerical values over a
particular range.
10.6 Continuous Probability Models
![Page 34: Chapter 10: Introducing Probability STAT 1450. Connecting Chapter 10 to our Current Knowledge of Statistics Probability theory leads us from data collection](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ee65503460f94bf7451/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Random Variables
▸ A random variable is a variable whose value is a numerical outcome
of a random phenomenon.
▸ The probability distribution of a random variable X tells us what
values X can take and how to assign probabilities to those values.
▸ Random variables can be discrete or continuous.
Discrete random variables have a finite list of possible outcomes.
Continuous random variables can take on any value in an interval, with probabilities
given as areas under a curve.

Personal Probability
A personal probability is a number between 0 and 1 that
expresses
someone’s judgment of an event’s likelihood.
Example: I believe there is a 20% chance of precipitation
tomorrow.
This is based upon no relative frequency, no scientific evidence, just intuition.
