An Introduction to Probability and Statistics
1probability and statistics — ▪ mathematics Introduction the branches of mathematics concerned with the laws governing random events, including the collection, analysis, interpretation, and display of numerical data. Probability has its origin in the study of gambling… …
2Probability theory — is the branch of mathematics concerned with analysis of random phenomena.[1] The central objects of probability theory are random variables, stochastic processes, and events: mathematical abstractions of non deterministic events or measured… …
3statistics — /steuh tis tiks/, n. 1. (used with a sing. v.) the science that deals with the collection, classification, analysis, and interpretation of numerical facts or data, and that, by use of mathematical theories of probability, imposes order and… …
4probability theory — Math., Statistics. the theory of analyzing and making statements concerning the probability of the occurrence of uncertain events. Cf. probability (def. 4). [1830 40] * * * Branch of mathematics that deals with analysis of random events.… …
5Probability space — This article is about mathematical term. For the novel, see Probability Space (novel). In probability theory, a probability space or a probability triple is a mathematical construct that models a real world process (or experiment ) consisting of… …
6Law of total probability — In probability theory, the law (or formula) of total probability is a fundamental rule relating marginal probabilities to conditional probabilities. Contents 1 Statement 2 Applications 3 Other names 4 See …
7Outline of probability — Probability is the likelihood or chance that something is the case or will happen. Probability theory is used extensively in statistics, mathematics, science and philosophy to draw conclusions about the likelihood of potential events and the… …
8Founders of statistics — Statistics is the theory and application of mathematics to the scientific method including hypothesis generation, experimental design, sampling, data collection, data summarization, estimation, prediction and inference from those results to the… …
9Mathematical statistics — is the study of statistics from a mathematical standpoint, using probability theory as well as other branches of mathematics such as linear algebra and analysis. The term mathematical statistics is closely related to the term statistical theory… …
