kinematics
What is kinematics
the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion.
Define statistics
The collection, evaluation, and interpretation of data
What are the tree types of probabilities
Empirical, Theoretical, and Subjective
What is a binomial process
a process with only two outcomes
What is the law of large numbers
The more trials that are conducted, the closer the results become to the theoretical probability
What is FreeFall
When air resistance is not taken into consideration, released objects will experience acceleration due to gravity
What do engineers use to statistics to do
Engineers use statistics to make informed decisions based on established principles.
define probability
The number of times an event will occur divided by the number of opportunities
In binomial process trial outcomes are what?
Trial outcomes our independent
What is probability distribution
the mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of different
What can be predicted and controled using kinematics
projectile motion
What are descriptive statistics?
describes the collected data
What is empirical probability
Experimental observation
What is a Bernoulli process
an experiment that results in two outcomes: success and failure
What does 'x' stand for in a process
Number of times an outcome occurs within n trials
What is firing angle?
It is the angle at which the projectile left the cannon.
What do inferential statistics do?
Generalize and evaluate a population based on sample data
What is theoretical observation
It uses known elements
What does 'p' represent in a process
Probability of success on a single trial
What does 'p' stand for in a process
probobility
What is initial velocity?
the angular speed of a projectile at the start of its flight.
What is statistics based on
Statistics is based on both theoretical and experimental data analysis
What is subjective probability
it uses assumptions
What does 'q' represent in a process
Probability of failure on a single trial
What does 'n' stand for in a process
Number of trials
