What is the formula to check for large counts condition (successes)?

np≥10np \ge 10np≥10, where nnn = sample size and ppp = probability of success.

What is the formula to check for large counts condition (failures)?

n(1−p)≥10n(1-p) \ge 10n(1−p)≥10, where nnn = sample size and ppp = probability of success.

What is the formula for calculating the z-score?

z=p^−pp(1−p)nz = \frac{\hat{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}z=np(1−p)​​p^​−p​

What is the formula for calculating the sample proportion?

p^=xn\hat{p} = \frac{x}{n}p^​=nx​ where xxx is the number of successes and nnn is the sample size.

What is the definition of random variation?

Data values scattered without a discernible pattern, often seen in random samples.

What is the definition of non-random variation?

Indicates an underlying pattern or structure in the data, resulting from measurement error, bias or systematic differences.

What is the definition of a normal curve?

A symmetrical, bell-shaped curve used extensively in statistical inference.

What is the Large Counts Condition?

Both expected successes (npnpnp) and expected failures (n(1−p)n(1-p)n(1−p)) must be at least 10.

What is a Z-score?

A measure of how many standard deviations a data point is from the mean.

What are the differences between random and non-random variation?

Random: No discernible pattern, pure chance | Non-random: Underlying pattern, due to measurement error/bias.

What are the differences between successes and failures in the Large Counts Condition?

Successes: np≥10np \ge 10np≥10, expected number of successes is at least 10 | Failures: n(1−p)≥10n(1-p) \ge 10n(1−p)≥10, expected number of failures is at least 10.
