A hectogram is a unit of mass or weight therefore a linear dimension is inapplicable.

What is meant by a z-score?

z-score of a value=(that value minus the mean)/(standard deviation)

How many meters are there in 42 decimetres?

There are 10 decimetres in one metre. Therefore, 42 decimetres is equal to 42/10 = 4.2 metres.

What a sample is?

A sample is a small part of anything or one of a number, intended to show the quality, style, or nature of the whole; specimen.

So, for instance, when you go to an ice cream shop and they give you a taste spoon with one flavor you want to try, that is a sample. It is a small portion designed to help you decide if you want more of it.

What is the percentage of not getting the sum of 3 on two dice?

Of the 36 possible outcomes of a throw of two dice, all but two result in a sum other than 3.

So Prob(Not a three) = 100*34/36 = 94.44... %

What type of charts can be used to express data?

you can use a pie chart, a graph chart, or a graph chart. Hope i helped!

Would you please explain all steps involved in Moment generating function of normal distribution especially how Sqrt2Pi getting cancel?

I could not find a good derivation of the mgf for the normal on the web. However, I found a complete derivation on page 270 of Probability and Statistics by DeGroot, 2002 Edition. Most university libraries should have a copy.

The first equation on page 270 goes from exp(a)exp(b) to exp(a+b).

The second equation is a direct result of "completing the squares" method. See page 281.

In third equation on page 270 DeGroot goes from exp(a+b) to exp(a)exp(b) which allows to define a constant exp(mu*t +1/2*sigma^2 * t^2) which he can pull out from the integral.

The "disappearing" of the square-root with 2pi occurs because the C as defined in DeGroot iin the fourth equation is the complete integral of the cdf of a normal distribution, for any value of t.

DeGroot states we can replace mu with mu+sigma^2*t, but I would have preferred

Let mu* = mu +sigma^2*t, then for any t, the cdf of the normal, N(mu*, sigma), integrated from minus infinity to positive infinity must equal 1.

Thus what appeared to be an integration requires no integration at all. I could restate the derivation as:

mgf(t) = f(t) * integral of N(x, mu*,sigma) from minus infinity to positive.

mgf(t) = f(t) * 1

mgf(t) = exp(mu*t +1/2*sigma^2 * t^2)

Why look at median?

Sometimes the mean does not give the entire picture of how the data behaves. For example: {2, 2, 3, 15, 100}

The mean is 24, the median is 3. This shows that if you graph these numbers on a line, they will be grouped much more to the low end than near the mean. ■
