Helps you to see where the majority of the data lies, as each part is 25% of the data
Lowest and highest values = endpoints Median of the data = center of the box Median of the lower part and upper part =
edges of the box
Box & Whisker
low Q1 median Q3 high
lowest 25% 2nd 25% 3rd 25% highest 25%
the box contains 50% of the data
Outliers are 1.5 . IQR from the ends of the box IQR = Q3 – Q2
Extreme Outliers are 3∙IQR from the ends of the box
The high and the low are not always Outliers, not all data sets contain outliers.
Box & Whisker Plot
Relatively evenly distributed (normal) data
Skewed left (longer left tail)
Skewed right (longer right tail)
Skew is determined by the tail

• the median the middle of the 17 values or 309
• the first quartile the middle of the first half or (201+206)/2=203.5
• the third quartile the middle of the second half or (407+408)/2=407.5
• the inter-quartile range the difference of the quarter points 407.5-203.5=204

Probability
How can we determine all the possible outcomes of a given situation?
TREE DIAGRAM—an illustrative method of counting all possible outcomes.
List all the choices for the 1st event
Then branch off and list all the choices for the second event for each 1st event, etc.
outcomes possible all

A restaurant offers a salad for $3.75. You have a choice of lettuce or spinach. You may choose one topping, mushrooms, beans or cheese. You may select either ranch or Italian dressing. How many days could you eat at the restaurant before you repeat the salad?

While the tree diagram is beneficial in that it lists every possible outcome, the more options you have the more difficult it is to draw the diagram.
Fundamental counting Principle—is a mathematical version of the tree diagram, it gives the # of possible ways something can be accomplished but not a list of each way.
Example:
Jani can choose from gray or blue jeans, a navy, white, green or stripped shirt and running shoes, boots or loafers? How many outfits can she wear?
_______ _______ _______pants shirts shoes
2 3 3 =18
Permutations—all the possible ways a group of objects can be arranged or ordered
Example:There are four different books to be placed in order on
a shelf. A history book (H), a math book (M), a science book (S), and an English book (E). How many ways can they be arranged?
24 WAYS 4 • 3 • 2 • 1 =

A permutation of n objects r at a time follows the formula

This can be done on your calculator with the following keystrokes:
Type the number before the PPress mathOver to prb Choose number 2 nPrEnter the number after the PPress enter.
Combinations P-3
How can you determine the difference between a permutation and a combination?
Combinations—the number of groups that can be selected from a set of objects--the order in which the items in the group are selected does not matter
Example: How many three person committees can be formed from a group of 4 people—Joe, Jim, Jane, and Jill
Joe, Jim , JillJoe, Jill, JaneJoe, Jim Jane
Is Joe, Jane, JimA different committee
Jim, Jane, Jill

What is the difference between replacement and repetition?
Repetitions and Circular Permutations P-2
Combinations
This can be done on your calculator with the following keystrokes:
Type the number before the CPress mathOver to prb Choose number 3 nCrEnter the number after the CPress enter.
Replacement—using the same object again (nr)
Example:The keypad on a safe has the digits 1- 6
on it how many:a) four digit codes can be formed
_____ _____ _____ _____
b) four digit codes can be formed if no 2 digits can be the same
_____ _____ _____ _____
6 6 6 6

Repetition—occurs when you have identical items in a group
Example:Find all arrangements for the letters in the word
TOOL
____ ____ ____ ____ TOOL OLOT LOTO
TOLO OLTO LOOTTLOO OTOL LTOO
OTLOOOTLOOLT
We would expect 24 but since you can’t distinguish between the two O’s all possibilities with
the O’s switched are removed
4 3 2 1
Formula for repetitions:
where s and t represent the number of times an item is
repeated
EXAMPLE:How many ways can you arrange the letters
in BANANAS
A N

Circular Permutation—arranging items in a circle when no reference is made to a fixed point
Example:How many ways can you arrange the numbers 1-4 on a spinner?
We would expect 4! Or 24 ways but we only have 6
Circular permutations are always (n-1)!

If no outcomes are successful, the probability will be 0

What is meant by compound probability?
OR: P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)
