Statistics and Probability Formulas You Need to Know for the HiSET® Math Test

You will be given some formulas during the HiSET® Test. However, that won’t be enough, especially for statistics and probability questions. As you probably know, there are many formulas that you need to use for those items on the test, and even though they are quite easy to remember, it is important that you know which ones you’ll need! That’s why we’ve compiled the most important Statistics and Probability formulas you need to know for the HiSET® Test! Use them to solve the free sample questions we have for you!

We also have two other charts of formulas that are not given to you during the test and a preview of the chart of formulas you will be given during the HiSET Math Test session.

Statistics and Probability Formulas for the HiSET® Math Test

Category	Formula	Symbols	Comment
Probability and Statistics	\(\overline{x} = \dfrac{\Sigma x_i}{n}\)	\(\overline{x}\) = sample mean \(x_i\) = value of each measurement \(n\) = number of measurements
Probability and Statistics	\(Md = (\frac{n+1}{2})^{th} \ term\)	\(Md\) = Median \(n\) = number of measurements (odd)
Probability and Statistics	\(Md = \dfrac{(\frac{n}{2})^{th} \ term + (\frac{n}{2} +1)^{th} \ term}{2}\)	\(Md\) = Median \(n\) = number of measurements (even)
Probability and Statistics	\(s = \sqrt{\dfrac{\Sigma(x_i- \overline{x})^2}{ (n-1)}}\)	\(s\) = Standard Deviation \(\overline{x}\) = mean \(x_i\) = value of each measurement \(n\) = number of measurements
Probability and Statistics	\(V = s^2\)	\(V\) = Variance \(s\) = Standard Deviation
Probability and Statistics	\(CV = RSD = 100 \cdot \frac{s}{\overline{x}}\)	\(CV\) = Coefficient of Variation \(RSD\) = Relative Standard Deviation \(s\) = Standard Deviation \(\overline{x}\) = mean
Probability and Statistics	\(p= \frac{d}{t}\)	\(p\) = Probability of an Event \(d\) = Number of Ways Desired Event Can Occur \(t\) = Total Number of Possible Events
Probability and Statistics	\(P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\)	\(P(A \cup B)\) = Probability of A or B \(P(A)\) = Probability of A \(P(B)\) = Probability of B \(P(A \cap B)\) = Probability of A and B	Rule of Addition
Probability and Statistics	\(P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B)\)	\(P(A \cap B)\) = Probability of A and B \(P(A)\) = Probability of A \(P(B)\) = Probability of B	Independent Events
Probability and Statistics	\(P(A \cap B) = 0\)	\(P(A \cap B)\) = Probability of A and B	Mutually Exclusive Events
