Learning Goals: What must I know, understand and be able to do with sets, probability
and basic statistics?
Sets, Probability and Basic Statistics
Recall the steps to CREATE a VENN DIAGRAM
1. Draw a BOX to represent the UNIVERSAL SET
2. Draw a circle for each set you are given in a problem, do NOT draw a circle for the universal set!
3. Begin by looking at the INTERSECTION of the sets and work your way OUT!
*DON’T SUBTRACT If you see the phrase “but not _____” or “only”
Symbol Name Meaning/Definition
Real numbers All numbers that can be represented by a decimal
ℚ Rational numbers Any number that can be expressed in the form a/b
ℤ Integers Any whole number, positive or negative (includes 0)
ℕ Natural numbers Numbers you use for counting (includes 0)
or Universal set Set of all possible elements
If U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}, then sets A and B must be in U
Element of Set membership
If A={3,9,14}, then 3 A
Not an element
of No set membership
If A={3,9,14}, then 1 A
Cardinality Number of elements in a set If A = {3, 9, 14}, then n(A) = 3
Complement of a set
All objects that do not belong to a set If U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and A = {1,2}; then A’ = {3, 4, 5, 6}
Subset Every element in the first set is also in the second set *the two sets can be equal*
If A = {2, 3, 5} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}then A B; but B is not A
If A = {2, 3, 5} and B = {2, 3, 5} then A B.
Ø or { } Empty set (null set)
No elements found in a set *the empty set is subset of all sets*
If A = {3, 9, 14} and B = {1, 2, 4}, then A B = { }
A ∩ B intersection Elements that belong to set A and set B (overlap) If A = {3,7,9,14} and B = {9,14,28}, then A ∩ B = {9,14}
A ∪ B union Elements that belong to set A or set B (everything) If A = {3,7,9,14} and B = {9,14,28},
then A ∪ B = {3,7,9,14,28}

Basic Statistics
The heights of 200 students are recorded in the following table.
Height (h) in cm Frequency
140 ≤ h < 150 2
150 ≤ h < 160 28
160 ≤ h < 170 63
170 ≤ h < 180 74
180 ≤ h < 190 20
190 ≤ h < 200 11
200 ≤ h < 210 2
(a) Write down the modal group.(1 mark)
(b) Add a column to the table to show the cumulative frequencies. (2 marks) (c) Calculate
i. an estimate of the mean of the heights (1 mark)
ii. an estimate of the standard deviation of the heights, write your answer exactly. (1 mark)

1) Today Philip intends to go walking. The probability of good weather (G) is . If the weather is good, the
probability he will go walking (W) is . If the weather forecast is not good (NG) the probability he will go
walking is .
a) Complete the probability tree diagram to illustrate this information. (4 marks)
b) What is the probability that the weather is not good and Philip goes walking? (1 mark)
c) What is the probability that Philip will go walking? (3 marks)
d) What is the probability the weather is not good given that Philip went walking? (2 marks)
