Arithmetic
Overview / Introduction / Terminology:
Arithmetic is the study of numerical quantities. At least a basic understanding of arithmetic is
fundamental in the study of algebra and all other mathematical studies. This book assumes that the
reader already understands some mathematics but wishes to relearn it in a more formal manner.
Arithmetic Sequence
Arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers that has a constant difference between every two
consecutive terms.
In other words, arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each term except the first term
is the result of adding the same number, called the common difference, to the preceding term. Example:
The sequence . . . is an arithmetic sequence; because the same number (i.e. the
common difference) is added to each term of the sequence to get the succeeding term.
Arithmetic Progressions
By an arithmetic progression of m terms, we mean a finite sequence of the form
The real number is called the first term of the arithmetic progression, and the real number d is called
the difference of the arithmetic progression.
Arithmetic Series
A series such as which has a constant
difference between terms. The first term is , the common difference is and the number of terms is
. The sum of an arithmetic series is found by multiplying the number of terms times the average of the
first and last terms. Formula:

Example:
1. Fine the value of the following summation:
From the formula (" ") for the n-th term, each term will be two units larger than the previous
term. (Plug in values for n if you're not sure about this.) So this is indeed an arithmetical sum. But this
summation starts at , not at , and the summation formula applies to sums starting at
. So how can it work with this summation?
The quickest way to find the value of this sum is to find the and partial sums, and then
subtract the from the . By doing this subtraction, it be left with the value of the sum of the
through terms. The first term is – . The other necessary terms are

We used letters to stand for numbers. Once we knew the width and height, we could substitute them
into the formula and find our area. Another one you may have seen is the area of a square, with sides s:
As soon as we know the length of the sides, we can find the area.
Literal numbers (the letters used in algebra) can either stand for variables (the value of the letter can
change, like in the examples of the area of a rectangle and the area of a square) or constants (where the

If the sequence is simple enough one can look at the first few terms and guess the general rule for
computing the nth term. For instance:
The graph of a sequence will look like a collection of dots whose x-coordinates are spaced one apart.
Some examples of graphs of sequences are shown in Figure below.
Arithmetic Sequence
An arithmetic sequence is a mathematical sequence consisting of a sequence in which the next term
originates by adding a constant to its predecessor. When the first term x1 and the difference of the
sequence d is known, the whole sequence is fixed, or in formula:
Geometric Sequence
A Geometric sequence is a mathematical sequence consisting of a sequence in which the next term
originates by multiplying the predecessor with a constant, better known as the common ratio. When the
first term x1 and the common ratio are known, the whole sequence is fixed, or in formula:
This sequence has a factor of 3 between each number, however as can be seen the sequence can work
both by increasing as well as decreasing the value of numbers. The pattern is continued by dividing the
last number by 3 each time.

Area is the measurement of the amount of space occupied by a closed flat surface and is measured
in square units. Every unit of length has a corresponding unit of area, namely the area of a square with
the given side length. Thus areas can be measured in square meters ( ), square centimeters ( ),
square millimeters ( ), square kilometers ( ), square feet ( ), square yards ( ), square
miles ( ), and so forth. Algebraically, these units can be thought of as the squares of the
corresponding length units. The SI unit of area is the square meter, which is considered an SI derived
unit.
A plane is a flat or level surface in two dimensions. Figures such as circles or squares have all of their

Correlation is a measure of the amount of association existing between two variables. For linear
correlation, if points are plotted on a graph and all the points lie on a straight line, then perfect linear
correlation is said to exist. When a straight line having a positive gradient can reasonably be drawn
through points on a graph positive or direct linear correlation exists, similarly, when a straight line
having a negative gradient can reasonably be drawn through points on a graph, negative or inverse
linear correlation exists
The amount of linear correlation between two variablesis expressed by a coefficient of correlation,
given the symbol r. This is defined in terms of the derivations of the co-ordinates of two variables from
their mean values and is given by the product-moment formula which states:
√{(∑ ∑ )}
The results of this determination give values of r lyingbetween +1 and −1, where +1 indicates perfect
direct correlation, −1 indicates perfect inverse correlation and 0 indicates that no correlation exists.
Between these values, the smaller the value of r, the less is the amount of correlation which exists.
Generally, values of r in the ranges and 1 and show that a fair amount of correlation
exists.
Regression analysis, usually termed regression, is used to draw the line of ‘best fit’ through co-ordinates
on a graph. The techniques used enable a mathematical equation of the straight line form
to be deduced for a given set of co-ordinate values, the line being such that the sum of the deviations of
the co-ordinate values from the line is a minimum, i.e. it is the line of ‘best fit’. When a regression
analysis is made, it is possible to obtain two lines of best fit, depending on which variable is selected as
the dependent variable and which variable is the independent variable.
The equation of the least-squares regression line is usually written as , where a0 is the Y-
axis intercept value and a1 is the gradient of the line (analogous to c and m in the equation y=mx +c).
The regression line of Y onX is used to estimate values of Y for given value
ofX. By using the regression line of X on Y, values of X corresponding to given values of Y may be found
byeither interpolation or extrapolation.
The equation of the regression line is of the form: X =b0 +b1Y and the normal equations become:
∑ ∑
∑ ∑ ∑
The regression line of X on Y is used to estimated values of X for given values of Y. The regression line of
Y on X is used to determine any value of Y corresponding to a given value of X. If the value of Y lies
within the range of Y-values of the extreme co-ordinates, the process of finding the corresponding value
of X is called linear interpolation. If it lies outside of the range of Y-values of the extreme co-ordinates
than the process is called linear extrapolation and the assumption must be made that the line of best fit
extends.

Statistics is the area of science that deals with collection, organization, analysis, and interpretation of
data. It also deals with methods and techniques that can be used to draw conclusions about the
characteristics of a large number of data points--commonly called a population. If the data set is based
on a sample of a larger population, then the analyst can extend inferences onto the population based on
the statistical results from the sample. Some statistical measures include regression analysis, mean,
kurtosis, skewness, analysis of variance and variance.
A quantitative variable has a value or numerical measurement for which operations such as addition or
averaging make sense. A qualitative variable describes and individual by placing the individual into a
category or group such as male or female
Descriptive statistics enable us to understand data through summary values and graphical
presentations. Summary values not only include the average, but also the spread, median, mode, range,

Distributions
The binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution which is used when there are exactly two
mutually exclusive outcomes of trials. These outcomes are appropriately labeled success and failure.
This is used to obtain the probability of observing x successes in n trials, with the probability of success
on a single trial denoted by p.
Binomial Formula. Suppose a binomial experiment consists of n trials and results in x successes. If the
probability of success on an individual trial is P, then the binomial probability is:
A Poisson distribution is the probability distribution that results from a Poisson experiment that results
in in outcomes that can be classified as successes or failures. Note that the specified region could take
many forms. For instance, it could be a length, an area, a volume, a period of time, etc.
Poisson Formula. Suppose we conduct a Poisson experiment, in which the average number of successes
within a given region is μ. Then, the Poisson probability is:
If n is large and p is small, and the product npis less than 5, a very good approximation to a binomial
distribution is given by the corresponding Poisson distribution
The normal distribution refers to a family of continuous probability distributions described by the
normal equation
where is a normal random variable, is the mean, is the standard deviation, is approximately
, and e is approximately .
The graph of the normal distribution depends on two factors - the mean and the standard deviation. The
mean of the distribution determines the location of the center of the graph, and the standard deviation
determines the height and width of the graph. When the standard deviation is large, the curve is short
and wide; when the standard deviation is small, the curve is tall and narrow. All normal distributions
look like a symmetric, bell-shaped curve.
When a normal distribution curve has been standardized, the normal curve is called a standardized
normal curve or a normal probability curve, and any normally distributed data may be represented by
the same normal probability curve. The area under part of a normal probability curve is directly
proportional to probability and the value of the shaded area.

Probability
Probabilities, permutations and combinations are used daily in many different fields that range from
gambling and games, to mechanical or structural failure rates, to rates of detection in medical screening.
The probability of something happening is the likelihood or chance of it happening. Values of probability
lie between 0 and 1, where 0 represents an absolute impossibility and 1 represents an absolute
certainty. The probability of an event happening usually lies somewhere between these two extreme
values and is expressed either as a proper or decimal fraction
Permutation: Use the equation to calculate the number of permutations of a given set of data, where n
is the total number of elements in the data set, and k is the number of elements selected at one time.
Notice that the definition of a permutation states that the ordering of the element selection does
matter.
Combination: Use the equation to calculate the number of combinations of a given set of data, where n
is the total number of elements in the data set, and k is the number of elements selected at one time.
Notice that the definition of a combination states that the ordering of the element selection does not
matter.

The sampling of attributes maybe regarded as the selection of samples from a population whose
members possess the attributes K or not K. The presence of K maybe called a success and its absence a
failure.
Suppose we draw a simple sample of n items. Clearly it is same as a series of n independent trials with
the same probability p of success. The probabilities of successes are the terms in the
binomial expansion of where
Tests of significance:
1) Large samples :
, if ---it is significant
2) Small samples :

2. A machinist is making engine parts with axle diameter of . A random sample of 10 parts
shows mean diameter with a standard deviation of . On the basis of this
sample, would you say that work is inferior?
Taking the hypothesis that the product is not inferior, there is no significant differences between the
means

The value of t 0.05 = 2.262. Therefore t = 3.15 > 2.262, the value of t is significant. This implies that
sample mean differs significantly from and the hypothesis is rejected. Hence the work is inferior.
