How is the mean affected by linear coding?

Adding: old mean + x

Multiplying: old mean * x

5

How is the standard deviation affected by linear coding?

Adding: sd is unchanged

Multiplying: old sd * x

6

What is the addition rule?

Tests for ME events

P (A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

New cards
7

What is the test for independence?

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

New cards
8
