What is the the relationship between population and sample parameter and statistic?
The relations depend on what measures.
The sample mean is an unbiased estimate for the population mean, with maximum likelihood.
The sample maximum is a lower bound for the population maximum.
Is convenience sampling method not a random sampling?
You are correct; convenience sampling is not random sampling.
What is the probability of drawing a club or a diamond?
The probability of a club is 1/4 and the probability of a diamond is 1/4 so since they are mutually exclusive you just add them and the total probability is 1/2
Of course there are 4 suits, and clubs and diamonds are 2 of the 4 so we could have just said 1/2.
What is the probability of getting an odd number in a rolling die?
There are three odd numbers in a die: 1, 3, 5.
The probability of rolling an odd number in a fair die is: P(1 or 3 or 5) = 3/6 = 1/2
Can the unit normal table be used for any normal distribution?
Yes, if you mean normal with a mean other than 0 and/or standard error other than 1.
If m is the mean and s the standard error, then transform the original data, y, using:
z = (y - m)/s
z will have the N(0,1) distribution!!!!!!!
What is the probability of selecting a red picture card from a deck of cards?
The probability is 6/52 = 3/26.
What is the probability of selecting the ace of spades from a deck of cards?
From a 52 card deck, probability is 1/52.
What percent falls below the mean for normal distribution?
In a normal distribution half (50%) of the distribution falls below (to the left of) the mean.
How do you find the probability density function?
The probability density function of a random variable can be either chosen from a group of widely used probability density functions (e.g.: normal, uniform, exponential), based on theoretical arguments, or estimated from the data (if you are observing data generated by a specific density function).
More material on density functions can be found by following the links below.
What probability value would be needed to complete the following probability distribution?
You should be given p(x) values such as 0.09 0.19 0.14 0.29 you just add these values to get 0.71 subtract 0.71 from 1 to get 0.29 is the answer
What is the probability of getting a white offspring from this cross?
We would need to know the situation to respond to this question.
What is an example of Empirical Probability?
Empirical means by observation, so empirical probability, or experimental probability, is the probability that is observed in a set of trials. For example, if you flip a coin ten times and get seven heads, your empirical probability is 7 in 10. This is different than the theoretical probability, which for a fair coin is 5 in 10, but that result will only be approximated by the empirical results, and then only with a larger number of trials.
What does it mean if the standard deviation is equal to the mean?
A large standard deviation indicates that the distribution is heavily weighted far from the mean. Take the following example:
{1,1,1,1,1,19,19,19,19,19} Mean is 10 and StDev = 9.49
Now look at this data set: {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15}
Mean is still 10, but StDev = 3.5
How much steel required for square meter in roof slab?
for residential building 1 sqm steel required =8kgs
1 in 32. Each correct answer has to rely on the previous answers all being correct. By random chance getting five heads in a row or picking black or red correctly, on a wheel with no green slots, five times in a row is 1 chance in 32 attempts.
27/35
What is the probability of flipping 1 head out of five coins?
The probability of HTTTT is (1/2)5 = 1/32
The correct flips can also be achieved with THTTT, TTHTT, TTTHT, & TTTTH.
Hence, total probability is 5/32.
Which type of measure of dispersion is mostly used standard deviation or variance?
They are effectively the same but the standard deviation is more popular because the units of measurement are the same as those for the variable.
What is a better measure of variability range or standard deviation?
The standard deviation is better since it takes account of all the information in the data set. However, the range is quick and easy to compute.
