The purpose of a z-score table is to find the probability that a statistic is observed below, above, or between specific values in a standard normal distribution.
---
**April 10, 2025:**
The difference between a z-score and a standard deviation is that a z-score measures how many standard deviations an element is from the mean, while standard deviation quantifies the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values.

To find the probability to the right of a z-score using a z-score table, you first look up the z-score to find the area to the left of it, then subtract that value from 1. This gives you the area (probability) to the right.

Two forms of technology you can use to find the area under a normal curve are:
1. Graphing calculators/software (like Desmos)
2. Statistical software (like R or Python libraries)
My preference is the graphing calculator because it provides a visual representation and is user-friendly for quick calculations.

The normal model for a data distribution with a mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 3.5 can be expressed as:
\[ N(85, 3.5^2) \]

**April 16, 2025:**
Ways to find the area under a normal curve include:
1. Using z-tables
2. Using statistical software
3. Utilizing the empirical rule
4. Calculating with the integral of the probability density function
5. Using numerical methods (like Simpson's rule)

When selecting a sample to represent a whole population, it's important to avoid mistakes like bias (systematically favoring certain outcomes), over-representation, or under-representation of portions of the population.
---
**April 28, 2025:**
An example of a biased survey question could be: "Don't you think that public transportation is unreliable?" This question presupposes a negative view.

Causation refers to the relationship where one event directly causes another, while correlation indicates that there is a relationship between two variables, but it does not imply that one causes the other.

In the 7 steps of building a statistical model, step #6 (testing your model) is important because it allows researchers to validate the accuracy and predictive power of the model against real-world data, ensuring its reliability for making inferences.

Researchers use simulations in their studies to model complex systems or scenarios that may be difficult to replicate in reality. Simulations allow them to explore outcomes based on varying conditions and assumptions.

From a sample of 30 jelly beans, where 12 are red, if there are 200 total jelly beans in the bag, you can predict the number of red jelly beans in the whole bag as follows:
\(\frac{12}{30} = \frac{x}{200}\)
Solving this, \(x = \frac{12 \times 200}{30} = 80\). Thus, there are approximately 80 red jelly beans in the bag.

If some of your friends are much older than the average of the group, the standard deviation would be higher because their ages would contribute to a larger spread of the data set from the mean.

Margin of error (MOE) is a statistic that indicates the amount of random sampling error in a survey's results. It represents the range within which we can expect the true population parameter to lie based on the sample statistic.
