The T-Distribution and T-Test “In probability and statistics‚ Student ’s t-distribution (or simply the t-distribution) is a continuous probability distribution that arises when estimating the mean of a normally distributed population in situations where the sample size is small” (Narasimhan ‚ 1996). Similar to the normal distribution‚ the t-distribution is symmetric and bell-shaped‚ but has heavier tails‚ meaning that it is more likely to produce values far from its mean. This makes the t-distribution

Differences between interest groups I once had a Supervisor called Gregory under me who constantly received direct instruction in a negative way from a Key Account Manager in our Corporate accounts department named Moses. The manner in which communication was initiated caused the conflict - Differences between interested groups. Differences between levels of individuals I have two Technical advisors currently named Faizel and Gaaratwe. Faizel recently started he claims that there is somehow more

“dispersion” or variability of the data about the measurements of central tendency. MEASUREMENTS OF CENTRAL TENDENCY The appropriateness of using the mean‚ median‚ or mode in data analysis is dependent upon the nature of the data set and its distribution (normal vs non-normal). The mean (denoted by x) is calculated by dividing the sum of the individual data points (where Σ equals “sum of”) by the number of observations (denoted by n). It is the arithmetic average of the observations and is used

AMA470 Midterm exam March 5‚ 2010 Please show full working out in order to obtain full marks. 1. Suppose that: • The number of claims per exposure period follows a Poisson distribution with mean λ = 110. • The size of each claim follows a lognormal distribution with parameters µ and σ 2 = 4. • The number of claims and claim sizes are independent. (a) Give two conditions for full credibility that can be completely determined by the information above. Make sure to define all terms in your definition

Binomial‚ Bernoulli and Poisson Distributions The Binomial‚ Bernoulli and Poisson distributions are discrete probability distributions in which the values that might be observed are restricted to being within a pre-defined list of possible values. This list has either a finite number of members‚ or at most is countable. * Binomial distribution In many cases‚ it is appropriate to summarize a group of independent observations by the number of observations in the group that represent one of

Discrete and Continuous Probability All probability distributions can be categorized as discrete probability distributions or as continuous probability distributions (stattrek.com). A random variable is represented by “x” and it is the result of the discrete or continuous probability. A discrete probability is a random variable that can either be a finite or infinite of countable numbers. For example‚ the number of people who are online at the same time taking a statistics class at CTU on

So‚ Tata Motors needs to set up an efficient distribution system so that the products reach its consumers. In case of some perishable food products‚ physical distribution is a very important part of the whole business. The transportation of "Amul Butter" to the stores that sell "Amul Butter" is a big challenge. While transportation‚ the butter has to be stored properly‚ so that it does not get contaminated. To completely understand physical distribution‚ consider the case of "Amul Butter". Amul is

skewed-right distribution with a mean of 10 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Suppose 100 flights have been randomly sampled. Describe the sampling distribution of the mean waiting time between when the airplane taxis away from the terminal until the flight takes off for these 100 flights. a) Distribution is skewed-right with mean = 10 minutes and standard error = 0.8 minutes. b) Distribution is skewed-right with mean = 10 minutes and standard error = 8 minutes. c) Distribution is approximately

Communication (from Latin "communis"‚ meaning to share) is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts‚ messages‚ or information‚ as by speech‚ visuals‚ signals‚ writing‚ or behavior. It is the meaningful exchange of information between two or a group of person. One definition of communication is “any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about that person’s needs‚ desires‚ perceptions‚ knowledge‚ or affective states.
