Welcome to the Wikiversity '''Master of Business Administration Program''', part of the [[School:Business|School of Business]].

==Introduction==
This document will link and organize the information found here on WikiMedia and elsewhere on the internet to provide a comprehensive business education such as one provided by the top business schools in the world.

A Master in Business Administration (MBA) is unlike many other academic programs. While most Master programs provide a further specialization within a particular school or discipline (such as biology), an MBA is typically interdisciplinary, drawing from the fields of psychology, sociology, economics, accounting and finance.

Most of the material found within an MBA program is not unique to business. Rather, an MBA provides exposure to the diverse ideas which are most useful to a person who is interested in succeeding in business within an easy-to-learn two-year bundle. Despite all the drinking and socializing, an MBA can be a lot of work. If you work through all the concepts referenced, it should take you a while (probably 2,000+ hours). You're also going to have to get good at Excel.

Let's get started.

==Core Learning Projects Explanation==

Some MBA programs have core course requirements in the fields listed below. For examples, please refer to the core requirements of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotterdam_School_of_Management RSM Erasmus], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INSEAD INSEAD], [http://mba.sciences-po.fr/us/deroulement.htm Sciences-Po],
[http://www.hbs.edu/mba/academics/required.html Harvard Business School], [http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/academics/curriculum/index.cfm Wharton Business School], [http://www2.gsb.columbia.edu/students/affairs/courseinfo/core.HTML Columbia Business School] and [http://www.business.brookes.ac.uk/ Oxford Brookes University Business School].

Many MBA programs also have coursework on advanced topics based on these core subjects. Other diverse subjects (such as psychology) also may be included in an MBA curriculum.

This listing of core learning projects attempts to replicate that core curriculum.

Despite all the drinking and socializing, an MBA can be a lot of work. If you work through all the concepts referenced, it should take you a while (probably 2,000+ hours). You're also going to have to get good at Excel.

Let's get started.

==Core Learning Projects Explanation==

Some MBA programs have core course requirements in the fields listed below.

Master of Business Administration

2008-01-04T16:29:16Z

24.110.1.30:

Welcome to the Wikiversity '''Master of Business Administration Program''', part of the [[School:Business|School of Business]].

==Introduction==
This document will link and organize the information found here on WikiMedia and elsewhere on the internet to provide a comprehensive business education such as one provided by the top business schools in the world.

A Master in Business Administration (MBA) is unlike many other academic programs. While most Master programs provide a further specialization within a particular school or discipline (such as biology), an MBA is typically interdisciplinary, drawing from the fields of psychology, sociology, economics, accounting and finance.

Most of the material found within an MBA program is not unique to business. Rather, an MBA provides exposure to the diverse ideas which are most useful to a person who is interested in succeeding in business within an easy-to-learn two-year bundle. Despite all the drinking and socializing, an MBA can be a lot of work. If you work through all the concepts referenced, it should take you a while (probably 2,000+ hours). You're also going to have to get good at Excel.

Introduction to Statistics

2008-01-04T16:19:00Z

24.110.1.30:

*46% of people polled enjoy vanilla, while 54% prefer chocolate (+/-4% margin of error).
*A school's graduation has increased by 2%.
*A couple has 4 boys, and they are pregnant again: what is the chance of having another boy?
*88% of people questioned feel that it is humane to put stray animals to sleep.

These are basic examples of statistics we see everyday, but do we really understand what they mean? With the study of statistics, these 'facts' that we hear everyday can hopefully become a little more clear.

{{nav|School:Mathematics/Undergraduate/Probability and Statistics}}

== Preamble ==
Statistics is permeated by probability. An understanding of basic probability is critical for the understanding of the basic mathematical underpinning of statistics.

Most statistical procedures use probability to make a statement about the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables. Typically, the question one attempts to answer using statistics is that there is a relationship between two variables. To demonstrate that there is a relationship the experimenter must show that when one variable changes the second variable changes and that the amount of change is more than would be likely from mere chance alone.

There are two ways to figure the probability of an event. The first is to do a mathematical calculation to determine how often the event can happen. The second is to observe how often the event happens by counting the number of times the event could happen and also counting the number of times the event actually does happen.

The use of a mathematical calculation is when a person can say that the chance of the event rolling a one on a six sided die is one in six. The probability is figured by figuring the number of ways the event can happen and divide that number by the total number of possible outcomes. Another example is in a well shuffled deck of cards, what is the probability of the event of drawing a three. The answer is four in fifty two since there are four cards numbered three and there are a total of fifty two cards in a deck. The chance of the event of drawing a card in the suite of diamonds is thirteen in fifty two (there are thirteen cards of each of the four suites). The chance the event of drawing the three of diamonds is one in fifty two.

Sometimes, the size of the total event space, the number of different possible events, is not known. In that case, you will need to observe the event system and count the number of times the event actually happens versus the number of times it could happen but doesn't.

For instance, a warranty for a coffee maker is a probability statement. The manufacturer calculates that the probability the coffee maker will stop working before the warranty period ends is low. The way such a warranty is calculated involves testing the coffee maker to calculate how long the typical coffee maker continues to function. Then the manufacturer uses this calculation to specify a warranty period for the device. The actual calculation of the coffee maker's life span is made by testing coffee makers and the parts that make up a coffee maker and then using probability to calculate the warranty period.

== Experiments, Outcomes and Events ==

The easiest way to think of probability is in terms of experiments and their potential outcomes. Many examples can be drawn from everyday experience: On the drive home from work, you can encounter a flat tire, or have an uneventful drive; the outcome of an election can include either a win by candidate A, B, or C, or a runoff.

'''Definition:''' The entire collection of possible outcomes from an experiment is termed the ''sample space'', indicated as '''<math>\Omega</math>''' (''Omega'')

The simplest (albeit uninteresting) example would be an experiment with only one possible outcome, say <math>A</math>. From elementary set theory, we can express the sample space as follows:

<math>\Omega = \{ A \} </math>

A more interesting example is the result of rolling a six sided dice. The sample space for this experiment is:

<math>\Omega = \{ 1,2,3,4,5,6 \}</math>

We may be interested in ''events'' in an experiment.

'''Definition:''' An ''event'' is some subset of outcomes from the ''sample space''

In the dice example, events of interest might include 
a) the outcome is an even number 
b) the outcome is less than three 

These events can be expressed in terms of the possible outcomes from the experiment: 
a) : <math> \{2,4,6\} </math> 
b) : <math> \{ 1,2 \}</math>

We can borrow definitions from set theory to express events in terms of outcomes. Here is a refresher of some terminology, and some new terms that will be important later: 
<math> \cup </math> represents the Union of two events 
[[Image:Venn_A_union_B.png]] 
<math> \cap </math> represents the Intersection of two events 
[[Image:Venn_A_intersect_B.svg]] 
<math>\{\cdots\}^{c}</math> represents the complement of an event. For instance, "the outcome is an even number" is the complement of "the outcome is an odd number" in the dice example. 
<math> A \backslash B </math> represents ''difference'', that is, <math>A</math> ''but not'' <math>B</math>. For example, we may be interested in the event of drawing the queen of spades from a deck of cards. This can be expressed as the event of drawing a queen, but not drawing a queen of hearts, diamonds or clubs. 
<math>\varnothing</math> or <math>\{\}</math> represent an ''impossible event'' 
<math>\Omega</math> represents a ''certain event'' 
<math>A</math> and <math>B</math> are called ''disjoint events'' if <math>A\cap B = \varnothing</math>

== Probability ==
Now that we know what events are, we should think a bit about a way to express the likelihood of an event occurring. The classical definition of probability comes from the following. If we can perform our experiment over and over in a way that is repeatable, we can count the number of times that the experiment gives rise to event <math>A</math>. We also keep track of the number of times that we perform the same experiment. If we repeat the experiment a large enough number of times, we can express the probability of event <math>A</math> as follows: 
<math>P(A) = \frac{N_{A}}{N} </math> 
where <math>N_{A}</math> is the number of times event <math>A</math> occurred, and <math>N</math> is the number of times the experiment was repeated. Therefore the equation can be read as "the probability of event <math>A</math> equals the number of times event <math>A</math> occurs divided by the number of times the experiment was repeated (or the number of times event <math>A</math> ''could have'' occurred)." As <math>N</math> approaches infinity, the fraction above approaches the true probability of the event <math>A</math>. The value of <math>P(A)</math> is clearly between 0 and 1. If our event is the ''certain event'' <math>\Omega</math>, then for each time we perform the experiment, the event <math>\Omega</math> is observed; <math>N_{\Omega} = N</math> and <math>P(\Omega)=1</math>. If our event is the ''impossible event'' <math>\varnothing</math>, we know <math>N_{\varnothing}=0</math> and <math> P(\varnothing) = 0</math>.

If <math>A</math> and <math>B</math> are ''disjoint events'', then whenever event <math>A</math> is observed, then it is impossible for event <math>B</math> to be observed simultaneously. Therefore the number of times events <math>A</math> union <math>B</math> occurs are equal to the number of times event <math>A</math> occurred plus the number of times <math>B</math> occurs. This can be expressed as: 
<math>N(A\cup B) = N(A) + N(B)</math> 
Given our definition of probability, we can arrive at the following: 
<math>P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)</math> 

At this point it's worth remembering that not all events are disjoint events. For events that are not disjoint, we end up with the following probability definition. 
<math> P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\cap B)</math> 
How can we see this from example? Well, let's consider drawing from a deck of cards. I'll define two ''events'': "drawing a Queen", and "drawing a Spade". It is immediately clear that these are not disjoint events, because you can draw a queen that is also a spade. There are four queens in the deck, so if we perform the experiment of drawing a card, putting it back in the deck and shuffling (what statisticians refer to as ''sampling with replacement'', we will end up with a probability of <math>\frac{1}{13}</math> for a queen draw. By the same argument, we obtain a probability for drawing a spade as <math>\frac{1}{4}</math>. The expression <math>P(A\cup B)</math> here can be translated as "the chance of drawing a queen or a spade". If we incorrectly assume that for this case <math>P(A\cup B) = P(A) + P(B)</math>, we can simply add our probabilities together for "the chance of drawing a queen or a spade" as <math>\frac{1}{13}+\frac{1}{4}</math>. If we were to gather some data experimentally, we would find that our results would differ from the prediction -- the probability observed would be slightly less than <math>\frac{1}{13}+\frac{1}{4}</math>. Why? Because we're counting the queen of spades twice in our expression, once as a spade, and again as a queen. We need to count it only once, as it can only be drawn with probability of <math>\frac{1}{52}</math>. [[Introduction to Statistics/Still confused?|Still confused?]] 

'''Proof:''' If <math>A</math> and <math>B</math> are not disjoint, we have to avoid the double counting problem by exactly specifying their union. 
<math>A \cup B = A \cup (B \backslash A) </math> so 
<math>P(A \cup B) = P(A \cup (B \backslash A)) </math> 
<math>A</math> and <math>B \backslash A</math> are disjoint sets. We can then use the definition of disjoint events from above to express our desired result: 
<math>P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B \backslash A)</math> 
We also know that 
<math>P(B \backslash A) = P(B) - P(B\cap A)</math> 
so 
<math> P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(B\cap A)</math> 
Whew! Our first proof. I hope that wasn't too [[dry]].

== Conditional Probability ==
Many events are conditional on the occurance of other events. Sometimes this coupling is weak. One event may become more or less probable depending on our knowledge that another event has occured. For instance, the probability that your friends and relatives will call asking for money is likely to be higher if you win the lottery. In my case, I don't think this probability would change.

Let's get formal for a second and remember our original definition of probability. 
<math>P(A) = \frac{N_{A}}{N}</math>
Consider an additional event <math>B</math>, and a situation where we are only interested in the probability of the occurance of <math>A</math> when <math>B</math> occurs. A way at this probability is to perform a set of experiments (''trials'') and only record our results when the event <math>B</math> occurs. In other words 
<math> \frac{N_{A\cap B}}{N_{B}} </math> 
We can divide through on top and bottom by <math>N</math> the total number of trials to get <math>P(A\cap B)/P(B)</math>. We define this as ''''conditional probability'''': 
<math>P(A|B) = \frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}</math> 
which when spoken, takes the sound "probability of <math>A</math> given <math>B</math>."

[[/A Totally Confusing Problem that Shows how Difficult it is to Conquer Intuition/]]

=== Bayes' Law ===
'''THIS THEOREM IS NOT GOOD, THERE IS AN ERROR !!!!!!!''' 
'''JUST SEE THE RIGHT ONE AT THIS PAGE:''' 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes'_theorem 
An important theorem in statistics is '''Bayes' Law''', which states that 
<math> P(B|A) = \frac{P(A|B)P(A)}{P(B)}</math>, 
It is easy to prove. We start with identical expressions for <math>P(A\cap B)</math>. 
We know that: <math> P(A\cap B) = P(B\cap A) </math>, 
<math> P(A\cap B) = \frac{P(A|B)}{P(B)}</math>, and 
<math> P(B\cap A) = \frac{P(B|A)}{P(A)}</math>. 
Since <math> P(A\cap B) = P(B\cap A) </math>, 
<math>\frac{P(A|B)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(B|A)}{P(A)}</math>. 
A Simple rearrangement of above line gives us '''Bayes' Law'''.

== Independence ==

Two events <math>A</math> and <math>B</math> are called ''independent'' if the occurence of one has absolutely no effect on the probability of the occurence of the other. Mathematically, this is expressed as: 
<math>P(A\cap B) = P(A)P(B)</math>. 

== Random Variables ==

It's usually possible to represent the outcome of experiments in terms of integers or real numbers. For instance, in the case of conducting a poll, it becomes a little cumbersome to present the outcomes of each individual respondant. Let's say we poll ten people for their voting preferences (Republican - R, or Democrat - D) in two different electorial districts. Our results might look like this: 
<math>\{RRRDRRDRRR\}</math> and <math>\{DDDDDRDDDD\}</math> 
But we're probably only interested in the overall breakdown in voting preference for each district. If we assign an integer value to each outcome, say 0 for Democrat and 1 for Republican, we can obtain a concise summary of voting preference by district simply by adding the results together.

== Discrete and Continuous Random Variables ==
There are two important subclasses of random variables: discrete random variable (DRV) and continuous random variable (CRV).
Discrete random variables take only countably many values. It means that we can list the set of all possible values that a discrete random variable can take, or in other words, the number of possible values in the set that the variable can take is finite. If the possible values that a DRV X can take are a0,a1,a2,...an, the probability that X takes each is p0=P(X=a0), p1=P(X=a1), p2=P(X=a2),...pn=P(X=an). All these probabilites are greater than or equal zero.

For continuous random variables, we cannot list all possible values that a continuous variable can take because the number of values it can take is extremely large. It means that there is no use to calculate the probability of each value separately because the probability that the variable takes a particular value is extremely small and can be considered zero P(X=x)=0).
