The relative frequency
is equal to the absolute frequency divided by the total number of occurrences

We carry on the abscissaabout at the end, segments that have the same amplitude,
representing the classes.
On each of the base segments, a rectangle is [Link] height the staff

Application to the example1

The table of cumulative increasing frequencies for example 1 is as follows:

In the case of acontinuous statistical variable, we plot the frequency curve


growing cumulationsby associating the zero image with the minimum value of the first
interval, thus the maximum value of the last interval will correspond to the frequency
total.

Application to example 2

Quantitative statistical variables can be summarized by:

a) Of thecharacteristics referred to as "..." positionor of 'trend' centralwho


give importance tocore values
b) Of theso-called ‘ parameters’ dispersionwhich characterize the dispersion or the
concentration of values around theaverage.
We consider in all that follows the following statistical table:

4.1.2. The median:


The median is the value that divides the statistical variable into [Link] to
equal staff.
In thefirst series, we find the values below the median.
In the second series, we find the values above the median.
It is generally noted by M.
To determine the Median is obtained using the table of cumulative frequencies. :
For a discrete statistical variable, the median is the value that has the
cumulative growing effective first strictly greater than
For a continuous statistical variable, the interval or classassociated with
first cumulative effect strictly greater than is saidthe class

superior.
As a result of thesedefinitions theSecond Quartile will blend inwith the

Chapter 2
Two-variable statistics

A statistic with two variables is a study of two different characteristics.


on the same population, as in example 4:the distribution of children
from a school according to their ages and their weights.

In fact, the data of astatistical series two variables are generally


represented initially as pairs ( variable1; variable2), and then
we group them together in the formof classes.

Example 5:
We have size and weight measurements of 19 adolescents presented by
pairs (thesize; the weight).

140; 38.2; {161 ; 44,3} ; {155 ; 46,1} ; {148 ; 38,2} ; {155 ; 50.5} ; {123 ; 22,4} ; {160 ;

4.1. Graphic adjustment:


We will study, through a graph, whether there is a relationship between these two.
variables and what is the nature of this relationship.

We draw a curve that we callcurve of regression» and who passes between the
observations of a point cloud.
Most often, we try to draw aline that we then refer to as right
of regression» orright of trend».

And we will say that we haveone linear liaison» between the variables.

Page 16
Descriptive statistics & probabilities

4.2. The analytical adjustment:


Analytical adjustment consists of determiningthe function whose curve
adapts in the most satisfactory way to the observations made, that is to say the
curve closest to the points of the cloud.

For this, we are looking for the function f such that the differences (− ( )
) with
∊ {1, … , p} andm ∊ {1, … , } , be minimal.

Page 17
Descriptive statistics & probabilities

Indeed,the method of least squares consists of determining f such that


sum of the squares of these differences

∗ ( − ( )²

be minimal.

4.3. Linear adjustment:


For a linear adjustment, two parameters are determined.a and bsuch as the
line with equation y= . + , be close to the points of the cloud.

By the method of least squares, we find that:

( , )

Remark

The regression line passes through the point with coordinates( ; ) that we call
midpoint.

Page 18

4.4. Correlation coefficient:


Here we define another parameter that we callcoefficient of correlation» who
measure the more or less great dependence between the two characters X and Y.
It is denoted by the letter 'r', it varies between -1 and +1 and it is calculated as follows:

( , )
=

Plus r is close to+1or of-1, plusthe two characters aredependents.

The closer he is to0, plus the two characters are independent.

Combinatorial analysis and notion of
probabilities

1.1. Fundamental principle of analysiscombinatorics


If any procedure can be represented by n different ways, if
after this procedure, a second can be representedof n different ways
and if then a third procedure can be represented by n ways
different and so on

So the number of different ways to execute the procedures in


the indicated order is equal to the product

. . …

Example
Suppose a license plate contains two distinct letters followed by
of three digits, the first of which is different from zero How many plates
What different things can we print?

There are 26 different ways to print the first letter, 25 different ways
to print the second letter, 9 different ways to print the first digit and
10 for the other two.

It follows that one can print26 ⨯ 25 ⨯ 9 ⨯ 10 ⨯ 10 = 585000plaques


different

1.2. Arrangements andpermutations:


A permutation is an arrangement of n objects considered at the same time.
and taken in a given order.

The arrangement of p of these n objects (withp ≤ n) in a given order is said


arrangement of index p of n objects.

Page 20

We note by A the number of thesearrangement of index p

Read "factorial n ».

And by convention 0!= 1.

If p=n, = !, Therefore, the number of permutations of n objects is n!

1.3. Permutations with repetition:


Theorem 2:
The number of permutations of n objects whose n are similar, n are
similar ... and are similar is

1.4. Combinations:

We designate by ou the number of combinations of p objects out of n.

1.5. Tree diagram:


A tree diagram is a convenient way to count all the
possible outcomes of a series of experiments each of which can occur once
finite number of times.

Example:
Determine the elements of the product set AxBxC with A={1,2}, B={a, b, c}

and C={3,4

Page 22
Descriptive statistics & probabilities

2.1. Ensemblefundamental and events :


2.1.1. Definitions:
The set S of all possible outcomes of a given experiment is called
fundamental ensemble.

Each result, that is, an element of S is called a point of S.

An event A is a subset of the sample space S.

The event {a} consisting of a single point a of S is called an event


elementary.

The empty set ∅ is the impossible event.

S is the sure or certain event.

A ∪ Bis the event that occurs if A or B is realized.

A ∩ Bis the event that occurs if both A and B are realized.


̅
The complement of A, denoted by , is the event that occurs if A
is not accomplished.

2.1.2. Examples:
Example1:
We roll a die and observe the result obtained.

The fundamental set isS { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }

Let A, B, and C be the events corresponding respectively to the occurrence of a


even number, an odd number and a prime number.

A = { 2, 4, 6 }B = { 1, 3, 5 } and C{ 2, 3, 5 }.

A ⋂ B = ∅,A ∪ C = { 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 } and B⋂ C = { 3, 5 }.

Page 23
Descriptive Statistics & Probabilities

Example2:
We toss a coin and observe the sequence of heads H and tails T.
obtained.

The fundamental set is: S = {FFF, ["FFP","FPF","FPP","PFF","PFP","PPF","PPP"] }.

Example3:
We toss a coin until we get heads, and we count the
number of times the coin has been tossed.

The fundamental set is: S = { 1, 2, 3, . . . , ∞ }.

This is an example of an infinitely countable fundamental set.

2.2. Axiomsof probability calculations :


Let S be a fundamental set, E the family of events, and P a function to
real values defined on E.

Definition:
It is said that P is a probability function and that P(A) is the probability of
event A if we have the following axioms:

[Link] each event A 0<= P A ≤1. ( )

II. P(S)= 1.

III. If A and B are mutually exclusive events then,


P(A ∪ B=) ( +)( ) .

[Link] A , A , A ... is a sequence of events that mutually exclude each other.


so, P A ( Union A Union A ∪. . . P) A + ( (A
) ( +) P) A + . . .

Consequences:
1) P( ∅)equals zero.

2)P A( )= 1 - P(A)with A is the complement of A.

Page 24
Descriptive statistics & probabilities

3)For two events A and B a :


P (AB = ) P(A)- P(A ∩ B) and
P (A∪ B = ) P A+( )P B -(P(A∩
) B)

4) A, B, and C being events. We have :

P (A∪ B ∪ C )
= P (A+) P B( +) P C-(P )A ∩ (B- P A )∩ C-( P C ∩) B+ P(A
( ∩ B) ∩ C)

2.3. Ensemblesfinished probabilities :


Let S= { a , a , a , . . , a a finite fundamental set.

Definition:
If at each point a to S a real number p is attributed , which is called
probability of a checking the following properties:

I. For all k we have 0≤ p ≤ 1.

II. The sum of p is equal to 1: p + p + . . . + p= 1.

It is said that S is a finitely probabilized ensemble.

We then define the probability P(A) of any event A as being the


sum of the probabilities of points A.

Example4 :
We toss three coins into the air and observe the number of heads obtained.

The possible outcomes are:

PPP;PPP PFP ;PFF ; FPP ;FPF ; FFP ;FFF}.

But the fundamental set is S= {0 ; 1 ;2 3 }.

We ask: p 0( =) p; 1 = (p; )2 = ( ) and (p3) = .

S is thus a finite probabilistic set.

Let A be the event that we have at least one head and B be the event that
would correspond to either three heads or three tails, that is to say thatA =2 3} and
B = {0 ;3}.

Page 25
Descriptive statistics & probabilities

So we have P( A=
) 1 +(p )2 + p( 3=
) ( ) and (P )B= p (0 )+p 3 (= )

2.4. Ensemblesequally probable outcomes:


A finite probabilistic set S, where each element has the same probability is
called equiprobable or uniform space.

If S contains n points then the probability of each point is .

On the other hand, if an event A is composed of r points, its probability is then


r× = .

Example 5:
When throwing a fair die.

2) When drawing a card from a standard deck of cards.

3) When three coins are tossed wellbalanced.

3. 1. Probabilityconditional:
Let E be an arbitrary event from a fundamental set S such that P(E) 0.

Definition:
The probability of event A occurring, given that event E has occurred.
previously, or in other words, the conditional probability of A given that
( ∩ )
It is realized that we write (A) is defined by: ( =
)
( )

Example6 :
We throw a pair of fair dice.

Knowing that the sum is equal to 6, calculate the probability that at least one
some dice had given a 2.

For this we have:

E = The sum equals 6

A = 'Auless one of the dice gives 2

( ∩ )
A ∩ E = { (2 ; 4), (4 ; 2) }.Where from ( ) = =

Multiplication Theorem:
A and E two events such that: P(E)0. So we have P A∩ =( ). ( )( )

This theorem can be generalized for any events.


A , A , A . . . A and we prove that we havethe result following:

P(A ∩ A ∩ A ∩ . . .∩ A )

= (A ). A( . ) ∩ A( . ( ) )∩ ∩ A . . . . ∩ ∩ ∩ . . .∩ (A)

Bayes' Theorem:
Let B be aeventandA , A A . . . A a partition of S, that is to say that:

The events A , A , A . . . A exclude each other mutually two by two and


A ∪ A Union A ∪ . . .∪ A = .

We then have the following equality:

P( B=
)( ) A( . ) B ( +)P A (. ) B +P
( )A . ( B) +. . ( .+) A . ( )

Example7 :

We toss a biased coin in such a way that: p(F) = and p(P) =

If it is heads that appears, we randomly choose one of the numbers from 1 to 9.

If it isstack that we obtain, we choose randomly one of thenumbers ranging from 1 at 5.

Calculate the probability p that an even number was chosen.

We consider the following events:

So then,

p = P(P′)

It is the theoremof Bayes

One can read this requested probabilityon the tree diagram with the
corresponding probabilitiesas follows :

Note that there are two paths leadingto P' and the probability of this
event isthe sum of the products of probabilities mentioned all over a
same path.

3. 2. Independence:
Definition:
It is said that an event B is independent of an event A with P(A) ≠0 yes :

(B) = ( )

Consequence:
A and B are independent if and only if P(A∩ B) = P(A).P(B)

Chapter 4
Discrete random variables

1.1 Definition
A random variable X on a fundamental set S is a function of S
in the set ℝ of real numbers.

If S is a discrete set, any real-valued function defined on S is a


random variable. And in this case, we are talking about adiscrete random variable.

1.2 Example
We toss a coin three times, and observe the sequence of heads (H) and tails (T)
of faces (F) obtained.

Consequently, the fundamental set is:

={ ; ; ; ; ; ; ; }

Let X be the random variable thateach point of S corresponds to the number


fromfaces who appeared. We have:

X(PPP) = 0,X(FPP) = X(PFP) = X(FPP) = 1, X(FFP) = X(FPF) = X(PFF) = 2

and X(FFF)= 3.

The image space of X is X(S){0, 1, 2, 3}

1.3 Operationson random variables :

We consider two random variables.X and Y defined on the same set


fundamental S.

Page 29
Descriptive statistics & probabilities

Property:
Random variables are definedX+Y, X + k,k.X and X.Y ( where k is a number
real) on the ensemble fundamental S in the following way:

For every s in S we have:

(X + Y)(s)= X(s) + y(s),(X +k)(s) = X(s) + k,

(k.X)(s) = k.(X(s)) (X.Y)(s) = X(s).Y(s).

Notations :
We use abbreviated notations = ( )( ≤ ≤ ) to designate the
probabilities :

( = )= ({ ∊ ( ) = }

( ≤ ≤ )= ({ ∊ (≤ ) ≤ }

2.1 Definition:
Let X be a random variable on a finite value sample space S. It is
to say ( )= { , , . . ., }.

X(S) becomes a probabilistic space if we define the probability P(X = ) of the


that will write it f( ).

This function f on X(S) which is defined byf( )= P( X = is it that we


call the distribution or the probability law ofX, which is usually given
in the form of a table:

… …
( ) ( ) ( ) … …

The lawThe probability f satisfies the following conditions

( For all i,f( x ) greater)than or equal to( 0and

Normal approximation of the binomial distribution:

The distributionbinomial is very close to the distributionnormal, provided that n


be great and neitherp, ni that are nottoo close to zero.

Page 44
Descriptive statistics & probabilities

Example:
X follows the binomial law B(n = 8 ; p = 0.5) don'tthe probability law is given by the
next table:

Graphically, it is noticeable that thisdistribution can be approached by a


normal distribution.

Comparative representations of binomial and normal distributions.

The previous property of the normal probability law is generalized thanks to the
Central Limit Theoremfollowing:

Central Limit Theorem:


Let (X ) a sequence of random variables defined on the same space

So:
µ
( )=µ, ( )= and for sufficiently large n, the law of = ; the

standardized variable associated with M is adjacent to the centered normal law
reduced N(0;1).

Example:
We throw180 times a well-balanced die.

Calculate the probability that face 6 appears between 29 and 32 [Link]


includes.

Let X be the number of times wherethe


face 6 appears, then X follows the binomial law B(180;
p = 1/6 and E(X) = n.p = 30 andV(X) = n.p.q = 25.

To calculate P(29 ≤ X ≤ 32), on apply the Gaussian [Link] is to say


what X≈ Y with Y follows the normal law N(30; 5) of such sort of E(X)= E(Y) = 30
and V(X)= V(Y) = 25.

So by transitioning from discrete to continuous, wewrite:

P ( 29≤ X ≤ 32≅ ) 29 (- 0.5 ≤Y ≤ 32 + 0.5 )

Therefore

P ( 29≤ X ≤ 32≅ ) 28.5( ≤ Y ≤ 32.5 = P -0.3
) ≤( ≤ 0.5 = 0.3094)
