DMA midterm
| expected value | long run average, EV is the weighted average of all possible outcomes, where a weight is the probability of an outcome occurring |
| mean | the average |
| standard deviation | the spread out the individual data points are |
| risk profile | shows % distribution of risk and important for 1 time decisions |
| value of information | ev with info - ev without info |
| normal distribution | symetric n thing, calculates to the left |
| NORM.DIST | (x,mean,stdev,1) |
| confidence interval | % of confidence with a specific range (standard error) = coefficient +- (2 x SE) Within 2 standard deviations, there is a 95% confidence interval 1 SD - 67% 3 SD - 99% |
| regression equation | = intercept coeff + (coeff x point) + (coeff x point) + ... |
| intercept | yeild when all predictors are 0 |
| p-value | the significance of the category. significant if < 0.05. ( E- means very small # in excel) |
| standard error | how precise the coeff is [confidence interval = coefficient +- (2 x SE) ] |
| R^2 | how much change in the dependent is affected by the independent |
| adjusted R^2 | adjusts how much change in the dependent is affected by the independent for how many independents there are |
| dummy variable | 0 or 1 - it is yes or no, one or the other |
| interaction variables | when 2 variables are considered together and combined have an extra positive or negative affect |
| scatterplot | A scatterplot is the correct type of chart to visualize relationships. |
| histogram | A histogram shows a distribution of a single variable. |
| sets | A set is simply a list of all the possible things that could happen |
| the law of large numbers | As the number of tosses grows, the observed outcomes will reflect that truth |
