      • The central limit theorem in statistics states that, given a sufficiently large sample size, the sampling distribution of the mean for a variable will approximate a normal distribution regardless of that variable’s distribution in the population.

  1. Comprehensive list of the most notable symbols in probability and statistics, categorized by function into tables along with each symbol's meaning and example.

    • Standardized Mean Difference
    • Correlation Coefficient
    • Odds Ratio

    When you’re interested in studying the mean difference between two groups, the appropriate way to calculate the effect size is through a standardized mean difference. The most popular formula to use is known as Cohen’s d, which is calculated as: Cohen’s d = (x1 – x2) / s where x1 and x2 are the sample means of group 1 and group 2, respectively, and...

    When you’re interested in studying the quantitative relationship between two variables, the most popular way to calculate the effect size is through the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. This is a measure of the linear association between two variables X and Y. It has a value between -1 and 1 where: 1. -1 indicates a perfectly negative linear correl...

    When you’re interested in studying the odds of success in a treatment group relative to the odds of success in a control group, the most popular way to calculate the effect size is through the odds ratio. For example, suppose we have the following table: The odds ratio would be calculated as: Odds ratio = (AD) / (BC) The further away the odds ratio...

  2. Symbols for the mean: (an upper case X with a line above it) or (lower case x with a line above it) denote "the mean of the X scores". Thus if the X scores are 2, 3 and 4, then X = (2+3+4)/3 = 3.0. If you have two sets of scores, one lot would be the X scores and the others would be the Y scores.

  3. Oct 29, 2018 · Central Limit Theorem Explained. The central limit theorem in statistics states that, given a sufficiently large sample size, the sampling distribution of the mean for a variable will approximate a normal distribution regardless of that variable’s distribution in the population.

  4. Students need to master these symbols because these symbols are the standard nomenclature in statistical reasoning. In general, Greek letters are used for measures of the population (called “parameters”) and Latin letters are used for measures of one or more samples (called “statistics”).

  5. Feb 16, 2021 · In statistics, power refers to the likelihood of a hypothesis test detecting a true effect if there is one. A statistically powerful test is more likely to reject a false negative (a Type II error).
