Statistical Formulas

This document provides statistical formulas for descriptive statistics, normal probability problems, statistical inference, and required sample size calculations. Formulas are given for calculating the mean, variance, standard deviation, z-scores, t-scores, and confidence intervals. Required sample size formulas show how to calculate the needed sample size based on the desired level of precision and either a proportion or standard deviation.
