  2. Empirical probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_probability

    In probability theory and statistics, the empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, [1] i.e. by means not of a theoretical sample space but of an actual experiment.

  3. Sample space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_space

    The probability of the event that the sum + is five is , since four of the thirty-six equally likely pairs of outcomes sum to five. If the sample space was all of the possible sums obtained from rolling two six-sided dice, the above formula can still be applied because the dice rolls are fair, but the number of outcomes in a given event will vary.

  4. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    This is the smallest value for which we care about observing a difference. Now, for (1) to reject H 0 with a probability of at least 1 − β when H a is true (i.e. a power of 1 − β), and (2) reject H 0 with probability α when H 0 is true, the following is necessary: If z α is the upper α percentage point of the standard normal ...

  5. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution is the mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of possible outcomes for an experiment. [1] [2] It is a mathematical description of a random phenomenon in terms of its sample space and the probabilities of events (subsets of the sample space). [3]

  6. Statistical hypothesis test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_hypothesis_test

    If the null hypothesis is valid, the only thing the test person can do is guess. For every card, the probability (relative frequency) of any single suit appearing is 1/4. If the alternative is valid, the test subject will predict the suit correctly with probability greater than 1/4. We will call the probability of guessing correctly p. The ...

  7. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    In the empirical sciences, the so-called three-sigma rule of thumb (or 3 σ rule) expresses a conventional heuristic that nearly all values are taken to lie within three standard deviations of the mean, and thus it is empirically useful to treat 99.7% probability as near certainty.

  8. Expected value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

    In the axiomatic foundation for probability provided by measure theory, the expectation is given by Lebesgue integration. The expected value of a random variable X is often denoted by E(X), E[X], or EX, with E also often stylized as or E. [1] [2] [3]

  9. Empirical distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_distribution...

    In statistics, an empirical distribution function (commonly also called an empirical cumulative distribution function, eCDF) is the distribution function associated with the empirical measure of a sample. [1] This cumulative distribution function is a step function that jumps up by 1/n at each of the n data points. Its value at any specified ...
