Chapter 1:
1. Elements, Variable, and Observations:
Example:
Table 1.1 (p. 5) in the textbook!!
25 elements (25 companies): Advanced Comm. Systems, Ag-Chem
Equipment Co.,…,Webco Industries
Inc..
5 variables : Exchange, Ticker Symbol, Annual Sales, Share Price,
Price/Earnings Ratio.
25 observations: (OTC, ACSC, 75.10, 0.32, 39.10), (OTC, AGCH,
321.10, 0.48, 23.40),…, (AMEX, WEB, 153.50, 0.88,
7.50).
2. Type of Data: Qualitative Data and Quantitative Data
(a) Qualitative data may be nonnumeric or numeric.
(b) Quantitative data are always numeric.
(c) Arithmetic operations are only meaningful with quantitative data.
Example (continue):
Qualitative variables: Exchange, Ticker Symbol.
Quantitative variables: Annual Sales, Share Price, Price/Earnings Ratio.
Chapter 2: Figure 2.22, p. 66.
1. Summarizing qualitative data:
 Frequency distribution, relative frequency distribution, and
percent frequency distribution.
 Bar plot and Pie plot.

2. Summarizing qualitative data:
 Frequency distribution, relative frequency distribution, percent
frequency distribution, cumulative frequency distribution,
cumulative relative frequency distribution, cumulative percent
frequency distribution
 Histogram, Ogive, and stem-and leaf display.

Suppose we have the following data:

Suppose the number of nonoverlapping classes is determined to be 5.
Please construct the frequency distribution table (including frequency,
percent frequency, cumulative frequency, and cumulative percent
frequency) for the data.

2. Event, Addition Law, Mutually Exclusive Events and Independent
Event:
Example:
Assume you are taking two courses this semester (S and C). The
probability that you will pass course S is 0.835, the probability that you
will pass both courses is 0.276. The probability that you will pass at least
one of the courses is 0.981.
(a) What is the probability that you will pass course C?
(b) Is the passing of the two courses independent event?
(c) Are the events of passing the courses mutually exclusive? Explain.
[solution:]
(a)
Let A be the event of passing course S and B be the event of passing
course C. Thus,
P( A)  0.835, P( A  B)  0.276, P( A  B)  0.981 .
 P( Ac  B)  P( A  B)  P( A)  0.981  0.835  0.146
 P( B)  P( A  B)  P( Ac  B)  0.276  0.146  0.422
.
(b)
P( A | B) 
P( A  B) 0.276

 0.654  P( A)  0.835
P( B)
0.422
Thus, events A and B are not independent. That is, passing of two courses
are not independent events.
(c)
Since P( A  B)  0.276  0 , events A and B are not mutually exclusive.
