5.1.1 Definitions
Sample Space and Event: Consider an experiment whose outcome is not predictable with certainty.
Such an experiments called arandom experiment. However, although the outcome of the experiment
«will not be known in advance, let us suppose that the set of all possible outcomes is known. This set
of all possible outcomes of an experiment is known as the sample space of experiment and is
denoted by S. Some examples follow.
1. Ifthe outcome of an experiment consist in the determination of the sex of a newborn child, then
§ = (g, b} where the outcome g means that the child is a girl and bis the boy.
2. Ifthe outcome of an experiment consist of what comes up on a single dice, then S = {1, 2,3, 4,
5,6}.
If the outcome of an experiment is the order of finish in a race among the 7 horses having post
positions 1, 2, 3, 4,56, 7; then S = fall 7! permutations of the (1. 2,3, 4,5, 6, 7)}
5, 4, 7) means, for instances, that the number 2 horse comes in first, then the
3.
The outcome (2, 3, 1,6,
number 3 horse, then the number 1 horse, and so on.
Any subset E of the sample space is known as Event. Thal is, an event is a set consisting of
some or all of the possible outcomes of the experiment. For example, in the throw of a single dice
S=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and some possible events are
E, = (1.2.3)
E, = (3.4)
E, = (1,4,6}etc.
experiment is contained in , then we say that E has occurred. Aways E< 8.
Ifthe outcome of the
may be effectively used to represent & solve probability
Since E & S are sets, theorems of set theory’
problems which are more complicated.
Example: If by throwing a dice, the outcome
In the child example - (i) If E, = (g]. then E, is the event that the child is a gir
Simteny i se tnen tne event that he cid @boy. These ae examples of Simple events
Compound avant may consist of more than one outcome. Such as E = 1,3, 5] for an experiment
of throwing a dige, We say event has happened ithe dice comes up 1 or 3 or 5
is 3, then events E, and , are said to hare occured
Scanned with CamScannerFor any two events E and F of a sample space S, we define the new event E WF to consists of
all outcomes that are either in E or in F or in both E and F. That is, the event E WF will occur i
either E or F of both occurs. For instances, in the dice example (i if event E = (1, 2) and F = (3, 4)
then EUF=(1,2,3, 4). ;
That is E UF would be another event consisting of 1 or 2 or 3r 4. The event E WF is called union of
event E and the event F. Similarly, for any two events E and F we may also define the new event
ENF. called intersection of E and F, to consists of all outcomes that are common to both E and F

5.1.2 TypesofEvents
5.1.2.1 Complementary Event
The event E° is called complementary event for the event E. It consists of all outcomes not in E, but
in S. For example, ina dice throw, if E = (Even nos} = (2, 4, 6) then EC = {Odd nos} = {1, 3.5}
5.1.2.2 Equally Likely Events
Two events E and F are equally ikely iff
PIE) = pF)
For example, E = (1,2,3)
F = (45,6)
are equally likely, since P(E) = pF) = 1/2,
5.1.2.3 Mutually Exclusive Events
Two events E and F are mutually exclusive, it EF = 9 i.e. p(E-F) = 0. nother words, if E occurs.
F cannot occur and fF occurs, then E cannot occur (i.e. both cannot occur together).
5.1.2.4 Collectively Exhaustive Events
Two events E and F are collectively exhaustive, i E UF = S.ie. together E and F include all possible
outcomes, p(EUF) = p(S) = 1
Scanned with CamScanner5.1.2.5 Independent Events
‘Jwo events E and F are independent iff
PIENF) = p(E)*p(F)
Also p(E | F) = p(E)and p(F | &) = p(F)
Whenever E and F are independent. i.e. when two events E and F are independent, the conditional
probability becomes same as marginal probability. i.e. probability E is not affected by whether F has
happened or not, and viceversa i.
5.1.3. DeMorgan’sLaw

Example: (E, VE) = ESnES
(E, OE) = E,CUE,S
Note that E,° 9 E,° is the event neither E, nor E>.

Demorgan’s law is often used to find the probability of neither E, nor E,,

5.2.2.1. Arithmatic Mean for Raw Data Ex
The formula for calculating the arithmetic mean for raw data is: X= ~~
X - arithmetic mean
x. - refers to the value of an observation
n_- number of observations.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
Example:
The number of visits made by ten mothers to a clinic were; 8655745974
Calculate the average number of visits.
Solution:
D ‘otal of all these numbers of visits, that is the total number of visits made by all mothers.

The formula for the arithmetic mean calculated from a frequency distribution has to be amended to
include the frequency. It becomes
Z(t)

nant
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
Example:
To show how we can calculate the arithmetic mean of a grouped frequency distribution, there is
a example of weights of 75 pigs. :
Scanned with CamScannerThe classes and frequencies are given in following table:
Weight (kg) Midpoint of class | Number of pigs | fx
x f(frequency)
O& under 20 15, 1 15
20 & under 30 25 7 175
30 & under 40 35 8 280

50 & under 60 55 19 1045
60.& under 70 65 10 50
708 under 80 75 7 525
808 under 90, 85 5 425,
90 & under 100, 95 4 0
700 & under 110 105 3 215
Total 75 4305
Solution:
With such a frequency distribution we have a range of values of the variable comprising each group.
As our values for xin the formula for the arithmetic mean we use the midpoints of the classes.

In this case x= =57.4kg.
5.2.3 Median
Arithmetic mean is the central value of the distribution in the sense that positive and negative deviations
from the arithmetic mean balance each other. Itis a quantitative average
On the other hand, median is the central value of the distribution in the sense that the number of
values less than the median is equal to the number of values greater than the median. So, median is
positional average. Median is the central value in a sense different from the arithmetic mean. In
case of the arithmetic mean its the “numerical magnitude” of the deviations that balances. But, for
the median itis the ‘number of values greater than the median which balances against the number
of values of less than the median.
5.2.3.1 Median for Raw Data
In general, if we have n values of x, they can be arranged in ascending order as:
HSA My.— -th value
However, ifn is even, we have two middle points
‘h ®
(3) value +(2 +1) value
Median =
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES,
Example:
The heights (in cm) of six students in class are 160, 157, 156, 161, 159, 162. What is median’ height?
Scanned with CamScannerSolution:
Arranging the heights in ascending order 156, 157, 159, 160, 161, 162
‘Two middle most values are the 3" and 4",
Median = F(1s9+ 460) = 159.5
5.2.3.2, Median for Grouped Data
on (N42)"
1, Identify the median class which contains the middle observation (2) observation) This can
be done by observing the first class in which the cumulation frequency is equal to or more than
ae - Here, N = Ef = total number of observations.
2. Calculate Median as follows:
N+1 (F +1)
Median = L+ xh
hy
Where, Lower limit of median class
Total number of data items = EF
Cumulative frequency of the class immediately preceding the median class
Frequency of median class
width of median class
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
Example:
Consider the following table giving the marks obtained by students in an exam
MarkRange | { NoofStudents | Cumulative Frequency
0-20 2 2
20-40 3 5
40-60 10 15
60-80 15 30
80-100 20 50
Solution:
Here, ot = 255
The class 60-€0 is the median class since cumulative frequency is 30 >25.5
Median = 82+[255~(15+1)]
ae ea x 20 = 69.66 ~ 69.7
-. Median marks of the class is approximately 69.7,
i.e. (at least) half the studer
ants ¢ Got less than 89.7 and (almost) halt got more than 69.7 marks
Scanned with CamScanner52.4 Mode
Mode is defined as the value of the variable which occurs most frequently.
52.41 Mode for Raw Data
in raw data, the most frequently occuring observation is the mode. That is data with highest frequency
ismode. If there is more than one data with highest frequency, then each of them is a mode. Thus we
have Unimodal (single mode), Bimodal (two modes) and Trimodal (three modes) data sets.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
Example:
Find the mode of the data set: 50, 50, 70, 50, 50, 70, 60.
Solution:
1. Arrange in ascending order: 50, 50, 50, 50, 60, 70, 70
2. Make a discrete data frequency table: Data | Frequency
50 4
60 1
70 2
Since, 50 is the data with maximum frequency, mode is 50. This is a unimodal data set.
5.2.4.2 Mode for Grouped Data
Mode is that value of x for which the frequency is maximum. Ifthe values of x are grouped into the classes
(such that they are uniformly distributed within any class) and we have a frequency distribution then:
1. Identity the class which has the largest frequency (modal class)
2. Calculate the mode as
b-f
Mode = La 5 xh
Where, L = Lower limit of the modal class
Largest frequency (frequency of Modal Class)
Frequency in the class preceding the modal class
Frequency in the class next to the modal class
h = Width of the modal class
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
Example:
Data relating tothe height of 252 schoo! students are given in the following frequency distribution
Calculate the modal height.
