Binomial distribution

X ~ B (n, p)

P (X = x) = (\binom{n}{x}) p^{x} q^{n - x}

, for

x = 0, 1, 2, . . ., n

μ = \sum x \cdot P (x)

Normal distribution

X ~ N (μ, σ^{2})

f (x) = \frac{1}{σ \sqrt{2 π}} e^{\frac{{- (x - μ)}^{2}}{{2 σ}^{2}}}

- \infty < x < \infty

Sample size determination (mean)

n = [\frac{z_{\frac{a}{2}} σ}{E}]^{2}

Sample size determination (proportion)

n = \frac{(z_{\frac{a}{2}})^{2} \cdot 0.25}{E^{2}}

Sample size determination (where p-hat and q-hat are known)

n = \frac{(z_{\frac{a}{2}})^{2} \cdot p q}{E^{2}}

Standard deviation

s = \sqrt{\frac{{\sum (x - x)}^{2}}{n - 1}}

Standard deviation (binomial)

σ = \sqrt{n \cdot p \cdot q}

Standard deviation (frequency table)

s = \sqrt{\frac{{n (\sum (f \cdot x^{2})) - (\sum (f \cdot x))}^{2}}{n (n - 1)}}

Standard deviation (probability distribution)

σ = \sqrt{\sum [x^{2} \cdot P (x)] - μ^{2}}

Standard deviation (shortcut)

\sqrt{\frac{{n (\sum x^{2}) - (\sum x)}^{2}}{n (n - 1)}}

Standard score

z = \frac{z - x}{s}

\frac{z - μ}{σ}

Student-t distribution

X ~ t_{df}

Test for independence or homogeneity

Chi-Square

= χ = \sum \frac{{(O - E)}^{2}}{E}

where

O =

observed and

E = \frac{(row total) (column total)}{(grand total)}

and

df = (r - 1) (c - 1)

Tests statistic (one sample, μ known)

z = \frac{x - μ}{σ / \sqrt{n}}

Test statistic (one sample, μ unknown)

where

df = n - 1

Test statistic (one sample, proportion)

z = \frac{\hat{p} - p}{\sqrt{\frac{p q}{n}}}

Test statistic (two samples, proportions)

z = \frac{({\hat{p}}_{1} - {\hat{p}}_{2}) - (p_{1} - p_{2})}{\sqrt{\frac{p q}{n_{1}} + \frac{p q}{n_{2}}}}

where
