5.2: the uniform distribution

47 . For the continuous probability distribution described by the function $f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{10}$ for $0\le x\le 10$ , what is the P (2< x <5)?

Use the following information to answer the next four exercises. The number of minutes that a patient waits at a medical clinic to see a doctor is represented by a uniform distribution between zero and 30 minutes, inclusive.

48 . If X equals the number of minutes a person waits, what is the distribution of X ?

49 . Write the probability density function for this distribution.

50 . What is the mean and standard deviation for waiting time?

51 . What is the probability that a patient waits less than ten minutes?

5.3: the exponential distribution

52 . The distribution of the variable X , representing the average time to failure for an automobile battery, can be written as: X ~ Exp ( m ). Describe this distribution in words.

53 . If the value of m for an exponential distribution is ten, what are the mean and standard deviation for the distribution?

54 . Write the probability density function for a variable distributed as: X ~ Exp (0.2).

6.1: the standard normal distribution

55 . Translate this statement about the distribution of a random variable X into words: X ~ (100, 15).

56 . If the variable X has the standard normal distribution, express this symbolically.

Use the following information for the next six exercises. According to the World Health Organization, distribution of height in centimeters for girls aged five years and no months has the distribution: X ~ N (109, 4.5).

57 . What is the z -score for a height of 112 inches?

58 . What is the z -score for a height of 100 centimeters?

59 . Find the z -score for a height of 105 centimeters and explain what that means In the context of the population.

60 . What height corresponds to a z -score of 1.5 in this population?

61 . Using the empirical rule, we expect about 68 percent of the values in a normal distribution to lie within one standard deviation above or below the mean. What does this mean, in terms of a specific range of values, for this distribution?

62 . Using the empirical rule, about what percent of heights in this distribution do you expect to be between 95.5 cm and 122.5 cm?

6.2: using the normal distribution

Use the following information to answer the next four exercises. The distributor of lotto tickets claims that 20 percent of the tickets are winners. You draw a sample of 500 tickets to test this proposition.

63 . Can you use the normal approximation to the binomial for your calculations? Why or why not.

64 . What are the expected mean and standard deviation for your sample, assuming the distributor’s claim is true?

65 . What is the probability that your sample will have a mean greater than 100?

66 . If the z -score for your sample result is –2.00, explain what this means, using the empirical rule.

7.1: the central limit theorem for sample means (averages)

67 . What does the central limit theorem state with regard to the distribution of sample means?

68 . The distribution of results from flipping a fair coin is uniform: heads and tails are equally likely on any flip, and over a large number of trials, you expect about the same number of heads and tails. Yet if you conduct a study by flipping 30 coins and recording the number of heads, and repeat this 100 times, the distribution of the mean number of heads will be approximately normal. How is this possible?

what is standard deviation?
It is the measure of the variation of certain values from the Mean (Center) of a frequency distribution of sample values for a particular Variable.
Dominic
Yeah....the simplest one
IRFAN
what is the number of x

how will you know if a group of data set is a sample or population
population is the whole set and the sample is the subset of population.
umair
if the data set is drawn out of a larger set it is a sample and if it is itself the whole complete set it can be treated as population.
Bhavika
hello everyone if I have the data set which contains measurements of each part during 10 years, may I say that it's the population or it's still a sample because it doesn't contain my measurements in the future? thanks
Alexander
Pls I hv a problem on t test is there anyone who can help?
Peggy
What's your problem Peggy Abang
Dominic
Bhavika is right
Dominic
what is the problem peggy?
Bhavika
hi
Sandeep
Hello
hi
Bhavika
hii Bhavika
Dar
Hi eny population has a special definition. if that data set had all of characteristics of definition, that is population. otherwise that is a sample
Hoshyar
three coins are tossed. find the probability of no head
three coins are tossed consecutively or what ?
umair
umair
or .125 is the probability of getting no head when 3 coins are tossed
umair
🤣🤣🤣
Simone
what is two tailed test
if the diameter will be greater than 3 cm then the bullet will not fit in the barrel of the gun so you are bothered for both the sides.
umair
in this test you are worried on both the ends
umair
lets say you are designing a bullet for thw gun od diameter equals 3cm.if the diameter of the bullet is less than 3 cm then you wont be able to shoot it
umair
In order to apply weddles rule for numerical integration what is minimum number of ordinates
excuse me?
Gabriel
why?
didn't understand the question though.
Gabriel
which question? ?
We have rules of numerical integration like Trapezoidal rule, Simpson's 1/3 and 3/8 rules, Boole's rule and Weddle rule for n =1,2,3,4 and 6 but for n=5?
John
geometric mean of two numbers 4 and 16 is:
10
umair
really
iphone
quartile deviation of 8 8 8 is:
iphone
sorry 8 is the geometric mean of 4,16
umair
quartile deviation of 8 8 8 is
iphone
can you please expalin the whole question ?
umair
mcq
iphone
h
iphone
can you please post the picture of that ?
umair
how
iphone
hello
John
10 now
John
how to find out the value
can you be more specific ?
umair
yes
KrishnaReddy
what is the difference between inferential and descriptive statistics
descriptive statistics gives you the result on the the data like you can calculate various things like variance,mean,median etc. however, inferential stats is involved in prediction of future trends using the previous stored data.
umair
if you need more help i am up for the help.
umair
Thanks a lot
Anjali
Inferential Statistics involves drawing conclusions on a population based on analysis of a sample. Descriptive statistics summarises or describes your current data as numerical calculations or graphs.
fred
my pleasure😊. Helping others offers me satisfaction 😊
umair
for poisson distribution mean............variance.
both are equal to mu
Faizan
mean=variance
Faizan
what is a variable
something that changes
Festus
why we only calculate 4 moment of mean? asked in papers.
why we only 4 moment of mean ? asked in BA exam
Faizan
Good evening, can you please help me by sharing regression and correlation analysis notes....thank you in advance
Hello, can you please share the possible questions that are likely to be examined under the topic: regression and correlation analysis.
Refiloe
for normal distribution mean is 2 & variance is 4 find mu 4?
repeat quastion again
Yusuf
find mu 4. it can be wrong but want to prove how.
Faizan
for a normal distribution if mu 4 is 12 then find mu 3?
Question hi wrong ha
Tahir
ye BA mcqs me aya he teen he. 2dafa aya he
Faizan
if X is normally distributed. (n,b). then its mean deviation is?
Faizan
The answer is zero, because all odd ordered central moments of a normal distribution are Zero.
nikita
which question is zero
Faizan
sorry it is (5,16) in place of (n,b)
Faizan
I got. thanks. it is zero.
Faizan
a random variable having binomial distribution is?
