It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Basic Probability

The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Applying What You’ve Learned.

Comparing training programs. Mary Kay gives sales training to its newly hired employees. To determine how effective the training is, the firm compared the monthly sales a group that has completed the training with a group that has not. The following numbers indicate thousands of dollars of sales last month. Represent the two sets of data on a single stem-and-lead display. Does the orientation program seem to be succeeding?

The data in the picture contains purchase data for golf purchases. Create a doughnut chart in Excel to compare the purchases by gender each year with the US population. Below the chart, explain what it illustrates.

Continue monitoring the process. A second ten days of data have been collected, see table labeled “2nd 10 Days of Monitoring Reservation Processing Time” in the Data File. Develop Xbar and R charts for the 2nd 10 days of monitoring. Plot the data for the 2nd 10 days on the Xbar and R charts. Is the reservation process for the 2nd 10 days of monitoring in control? If the control chart indicates an out-of-control process, note which days, the pattern, and whether it is the Xbar or R chart. Based on the X-bar and R Charts that you developed for the 2nd 10 days of data, is the process in control? Group of answer choices No. The X-bar and R Charts are both out of control. No. The X-bar Chart is in control, but the R Chart is out of control. No. The R Chart is in control, but the X-bar Chart is out of control. Yes. The X-bar and R Charts are both in control.
