The two way frequency table
The c2 statistic
Techniques for examining
dependence amongst two categorical
variables
Situation
•
•
•
•
We have two categorical variables R and C.
The number of categories of R is r.
The number of categories of C is c.
We observe n subjects from the population and
count
xij = the number of subjects for which R = i and
C = j.
• R = rows, C = columns
Example
Both Systolic Blood pressure (C) and Serum
Chlosterol (R) were meansured for a sample of n
= 1237 subjects.
The categories for Blood Pressure are:
<126 127-146 147-166
167+
The categories for Chlosterol are:
<200 200-219 220-259
260+

Properties of the c2 statistic
1. The c2 statistic is always positive.
2. Small values of c2 indicate that Rows and
Columns are independent. In this case will
be in the range of (r – 1)(c – 1).
3. Large values of c2 indicate that Rows and
columns are not independent.
4. Later on we will discuss this in more detail
(when we study Hypothesis Testing).
Example
This comes from the drug use data.
The two variables are:
1. Role (C) and
2. Antidepressant Use (R)
measured for a sample of n = 33,957 subjects.

Probability Theory
Modelling random phenomena
Some counting formulae
Permutations
the number of ways that you can order n
objects is:
n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)…(3)(2)(1)
Example:
the number of ways you can order the three
letters A, B, and C is 3! = 3(2)(1) = 6
ABC ACB BAC BCA CAB CBA
Definition
0! = 1
Reason
mathematical consistency.
In many of the formulae given later, this
definition leads to consistency.
Permutations
the number of ways that you can choose k
objects from n objects in a specific order:
n!

Random Variables
Probability distributions
Definition:
A random variable X is a number whose
value is determined by the outcome of a
random experiment (random phenomena)
Examples
1. A die is rolled and X = number of spots
showing on the upper face.
2. Two dice are rolled and X = Total number
of spots showing on the two upper faces.
3. A coin is tossed n = 100 times and
X = number of times the coin toss
resulted in a head.
4. A person is selected at random from a
population and
X = weight of that individual.
5. A sample of n = 100 individuals are
selected at random from a population (i.e.
all samples of n = 100 have the same
probability of being selected) .
X = the average weight of the 100
individuals.
In all of these examples X fits the definition
of a random variable, namely:
– a number whose value is determined by the
outcome of a random experiment (random
phenomena)
Random variables are either
• Discrete
– Integer valued
– The set of possible values for X are integers
• Continuous
– The set of possible values for X are all real
numbers
– Range over a continuum.
Examples
• Discrete
– A die is rolled and X = number of spots
showing on the upper face.
– Two dice are rolled and X = Total
number of spots showing on the two
upper faces.
– A coin is tossed n = 100 times and X =
number of times the coin toss resulted
in a head.
Examples
• Continuous
–
–
A person is selected at random from a
population and X = weight of that individual.
A sample of n = 100 individuals are selected
at random from a population (i.e. all samples
of n = 100 have the same probability of being
selected) . X = the average weight of the 100
individuals.
Probability distribution of a
Random Variable
The probability distribution of a
discrete random variable is describe
by its :
probability function p(x).
p(x) = the probability that X takes on
the value x.

The probability distribution of a
continuous random variable is
described by its :
probability density curve f(x).
i.e. a curve which has the following
properties :
• 1. f(x) is always positive.
• 2. The total are under the curve f(x) is one.
• 3. The area under the curve f(x) between a
and b is the probability that X lies between the
two values.

An Important discrete distribution
The Binomial distribution
Suppose we have an experiment with two
outcomes – Success(S) and Failure(F).
Let p denote the probability of S (Success).
In this case q=1-p denotes the probability of
Failure(F).
Now suppose this experiment is repeated n
times independently.
Let X denote the number of successes
occuring in the n repititions.
Then X is a random variable.
It’s possible values are
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … , (n – 2), (n – 1), n
and p(x) for any of the above values of x is
given by:
 n x
 n  x n x
n x
px     p 1  p     p q
 x
 x
X is said to have the Binomial
distribution with parameters n and p.
Summary:
X is said to have the Binomial distribution
with parameters n and p.
1. X is the number of successes occuring in
the n repititions of a Success-Failure
Experiment.
2. The probability of success is p.

Random Variables
Numerical Quantities whose values
are determine by the outcome of a
random experiment
Discrete Random Variables
Discrete Random Variable: A random variable
usually assuming an integer value.
• a discrete random variable assumes values that are
isolated points along the real line. That is neighbouring
values are not “possible values” for a discrete random
variable
Note: Usually associated with counting
• The number of times a head occurs in 10 tosses of a coin

Probability Distributions
of a Discrete Random Variable
Probability Distribution & Function
Probability Distribution: A mathematical
description of how probabilities are distributed with
each of the possible values of a random variable.
Notes:

The probability distribution allows one to determine probabilities
of events related to the values of a random variable.

The probability distribution may be presented in the form of a
table, chart, formula.
Probability Function: A rule that assigns probabilities to
the values of the random variable
Example
In baseball the number of individuals, X, on base when a
home run is hit ranges in value from 0 to 3. The
probability distribution is known and is given below:
x
p(x)
0
6/14
1
4/14
2
3/14
3
1/14
Note:
 This chart implies the only values x takes on are 0, 1, 2, and 3.
 If the random variable X is observed repeatedly the probabilities,
p(x), represents the proportion times the value x appears in that
sequence.

Comments:
Every probability function must satisfy:
1. The probability assigned to each value of the
random variable must be between 0 and 1,
inclusive:
0  p ( x)  1
2. The sum of the probabilities assigned to all the
values of the random variable must equal 1:
 p ( x)  1

3. Pa  X  b   p ( x)
xa
 p(a)  p(a  1)    p(b)
Mean and Variance of a
Discrete Probability Distribution
• Describe the center and spread of a
probability distribution
• The mean (denoted by greek letter m (mu)),
measures the centre of the distribution.
• The variance (s2) and the standard deviation (s)
measure the spread of the distribution.
s is the greek letter for s.
Mean of a Discrete Random Variable
• The mean, m, of a discrete random variable x is found by
multiplying each possible value of x by its own
probability and then adding all the products together:
m   xpx 
x
 x1 px1   x2 px2     xk pxk 
Notes:

The mean is a weighted average of the values of X.

The mean is the long-run average value of the random
variable.

The mean is centre of gravity of the probability
distribution of the random variable

Variance and Standard Deviation
Variance of a Discrete Random Variable: Variance, s2, of a
discrete random variable x is found by multiplying each possible
value of the squared deviation from the mean, (x  m)2, by its own
probability and then adding all the products together:

The Binomial distribution
1. We have an experiment with two outcomes
– Success(S) and Failure(F).
2. Let p denote the probability of S (Success).
3. In this case q=1-p denotes the probability of
Failure(F).
4. This experiment is repeated n times
independently.
5. X denote the number of successes occuring in the
n repititions.
The possible values of X are
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … , (n – 2), (n – 1), n
and p(x) for any of the above values of x is
given by:
 n x

with parameters n and p.
