Binomial Probability (order doesn’t matter)
Pk = binomial probability of k successes in n trials p = probability of a success q = 1 – p = probability of failure k = number of successes n = number of trials
Independent Events P (A and B and C) = PAPBPC P (A and B and C) = probability of independent events A and B and C occurring in sequence PA = probability of event A
Mutually Exclusive Events P (A or B) = PA + PB P (A or B) = probability of either mutually exclusive event A or B occurring in a trial PA = probability of event A Σxi = sum of all data values (x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , … n = number of data values

Frequency
fx = relative frequency of outcome x nx = number of events with outcome x n = total number of events Px = probability of outcome x fa = frequency of all events
Conditional Probability
P (A|D) = probability of event A given event D P(A) = probability of event A occurring P(~A) = probability of event A not occurring P(D|~A) = probability of event D given event A did not occur
Mode Place data in ascending order. Mode = most frequently occurring value If two values occur at the maximum frequency the data set is bimodal. If three or more values occur at the maximum frequency the data set is multi-modal.
Mean
μ = mean value Σxi = sum of all data values (x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , … n = number of data values
Standard Deviation
σ = standard deviation xi = individual data value ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , … n = number of data values
Range Range = xmax - xmin xmax = maximum data value xmin = minimum data value
Median Place data in ascending order. If n is odd, median = central value If n is even, median = mean of two central values n = number of data values
