What is the z value for a normal distribution?
If a random variable X has a Normal distribution with mean m and standard deviation s, then
z = (X - m)/s
has a Standard Normal distribution. That is, Z has a Normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.
Probabilities for a general Normal distribution are extremely difficult to obtain but values for the Standard Normal have been calculated numerically and are widely tabulated. The z-transformation is, therefore, used to evaluate probabilities for Normally distributed random variables.
A discrete distribution is usually the result of?
a. a measurement. b. a count.
c. a small sample. d. a small probability.
A six sided cube is rolled find the probability of P6?
A cube, by definition, must be 6 sided.
The probability of getting a 6, if it is a fair die, is 1/6.
What proportion of a normal distribution is located in the tail beyond a z-score if z equals -1.50?
0.0668 or about 1/15
z = ±0.44
What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row when you flip a coin?
The probability of each coin flip, independently, is 0.5 or 50%. The probability of getting one result (either heads or tails) four times in a row is 0.5 to the fourth power or 0.0625, which equals 6.25%
What is the probability of getting exactly 8 tails in a row when flipping a coin ten times?
It is 3/1024 = 0.00293, approx.
Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "the following". Please restate the question.
However, by definition of probability, a probability less than 0 (the event will never happen) or greater than 1 (the event will always happen) is impossible, so maybe that answers your question.
A coin is tossed until a head appears. what is the expectation of number of tosses required?
Usually, it takes 2-5 flips until a head appears.
What value corresponds to the 38 percent of the data between the mean and the z value?
The value is 0.3055
How many ways are there to arrange the letters in the word green?
There are 120 ways to order a 5 letter word, however, since there are two "e" letters in the word "green", the number of combinations is only 60.
How do you derive variance of Pareto distribution?
var(X) = (xm/a - 1)2 a/a-2 .
If a < or equal to 2, the variance does not exist.
What are the most rolled numbers on the dice in craps?
If any numbers come up more often than any others over the long run,
then the dice are loaded and the game is not honest.
* * * * *
That is true for the roll of a die, but not dice. With 2 dice, the probabilities of the numbers are as follows
2 or 12 : 1/36 each
3 or 11 : 2/36 or 1/18 each
4 or 10 : 3/36 or 1/12 each
5 or 9 : 4/36 or 1/9 each
6 or 8 : 5/36 each
7 : 6/36 or 1/6
So 7 is the most rolled number in the long run when 2 dice are rolled.
Why is population sampling most effective when a population has an even dispersion pattern?
If the population is not evenly dispersed then the sample may unfortunately come from a section that is not typical of the population. That means the sample will not be representative of the population and so any estimates for the population, based on sample statistics are biased and therefore unreliable.
Which measure of central tendency will the sum of the deviations always be zero?
For which measure of central tendency will the sum of the deviations always be zero?
What is the probability that a student offering statistics will pass it?
Whether or not the student passes depends on the level of the examinations, the effort put in by the student, the quality of his teachers. There are too many contributory factors for a simple answer.
What is meant by discrete random variable?
A discrete random variable is a variable that can only take some selected values. The values that it can take may be infinite in number (eg the counting numbers), but unlike a continuous random variable, it cannot take any value in between valid results.
How do you find highest standard deviation in given number?
Standard deviations are measures of data distributions. Therefore, a single number cannot have meaningful standard deviation.
