distributions

With regards to distribution they are of 3 types. National, multi national and internationa..

The number which tells us how many times a particular data appears is called the frequency. For example, 2 marks have been scored by five students which means marks 2 occurs five times. Therefore, the frequency of score 2 is five. Similarly, the frequency of marks 5 is three because three stu..

Poisson distribution is a limiting process of binomial distribution. Poisson distribution occurs when there are events which do not occur as outcomes of a definite number of outcomes. Poisson distribution is used under the following conditions: ..

Geological Distribution - The organisms show particular patterns of distribution on earth. The distribution of the species give an indication of how the earth was earlier. It is believed that the earth was a single mass called the Pangea. It consisted of two large cont..

The organisms show particular patterns of distribution on earth. The distribution of the species give an indication of how the earth was earlier. It is believed that the earth was a single mass called the Pangea. It consisted of two large continental masses called Laurasia and G..

Frequency Distribution - A teacher gave a test to a class of 26 students. The maximum mark is 5. The marks obtained by the pupils are: Such data as above is called ungrouped (or raw) data. We may arrange the marks in ascending or descending order. The data so represented is called an arra..

Binomial Distribution - A trial, which has only two outcomes i.e., "a success" or "a failure", is called a Bernoulli trial. Let X be the number of successes in a Bernoulli trial, then X can take 0 or 1 and P(X =1) = p = "probability of a success" P(X = 0) = 1 - p = q = "probability of fai..

If x is a discrete random variable assuming the values x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ,….,x n with probabilities p 1 , p 2 , p 3 ,…., p n respectively then (x 1 ,p 1 ), (x 2 , p 2 ),…(x n , p n ) defines a probability distribution of X. Mathematical Expectation of X or Mean of..

A trial, which has only two outcomes i.e., "a success" or "a failure", is called a Bernoulli trial. Let X be the number of successes in a Bernoulli trial, then X can take 0 or 1 and P(X =1) = p = "probability of a success" P(X = 0) = 1 - p = q = "probability of failure". Consider a random experimen..

We shall now deduce the Poisson distribution from the binomial distribution by assuming that n and p 0 such that the product np always remains finite, say l . We shall now use a very important result of limits in Calcu..
