STA1101 Normal Distribution and Continuous random variables CONTINUOUS RANDOM VARIABLES A random variable whose values are not countable is called a _CONTINUOUS RANDOM VARIABLE._ THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION The _NORMAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION_ is given by a bell-shaped(symmetric) curve. THE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION The normal distribution with and is called the _STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION._ Example 1: Find the area under the standard normal curve between z = 0 and z = 1.95 from z

April 2013. SPECIAL DISTRIBUTIONS I. Concept of probability (3%) 1. Explain why the distribution B(n‚p) can be approximated by Poisson distribution with parameter if n tends to infinity‚ p 0‚ and = np can be considered constant. 2. Show that – and + are the turning points in the graph of the p.d.f. of normal distribution with mean and standard deviation . 3. What is the relationship between exponential distribution and Poisson distribution? II. Computation

real numbers t with the following properties: (1) (2) (3) (4) W0 = 0. With probability 1‚ the function t → Wt is continuous in t. The process {Wt }t≥0 has stationary‚ independent increments. The increment Wt+s − Ws has the N ORMAL(0‚ t) distribution. A Wiener process with initial value W0 = x is gotten by adding x to a standard Wiener process. As is customary in the land of Markov processes‚ the initial value x is indicated (when appropriate) by putting a superscript x on the probability

Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper. 1) The average score of all pro golfers for a particular course has a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 3.0. Suppose 36 golfers played the course today. Find the probability that the average score of the 36 golfers exceeded 71. 2) At a computer manufacturing company‚ the actual size of computer chips is normally distributed with a mean of 1 centimeter

side of the centerline When the process is in statistical control‚ find the false alarm probability (Type-I error) for each case. The corresponding probability measures are obtained from the Normal table as P(3 " Z) = 0.00135 P(2 " Z) = 0.02275 P(1 " Z) = 0.1587 Solution: ! i) Use the Binomial distribution to ! calculate the probability measures. ! 3! 3! P(Y ! 2 n = 3‚ p = 0.02275) = (0.02275)2 (1" 0.02275) + (0.02275)3 = 0.00153 2!1! 3!0! Type-1 Risk considering both sides: ! = 0.00306

Variances Variances can be either: * Positive/favourable (better than expected) or * Adverse/unfavourable ( worse than expected) A favourable variance might mean that: * Costs were lower than expected in the budget‚ or * Revenue/profits were higher than expected By contrast‚ an adverse variance might arise because: * Costs were higher than expected * Revenue/profits were lower than expected What causes budget variance? There are four key reasons and it is important that

There are many ways that I have been illiterate in my life. One way that I think has had the biggest impact in my life was not having the “normal” family that most kids seem to have growing up. I never had the family where the mom bakes all the time and takes her kids to soccer practice and drives a mini van‚ while the dad doesn’t come home until later at night just to help his kids with their homework and tells them goodnight while him and his wife talk about their day apart. Instead‚ I was the
