Probability Distributions
When can/do you use inverse poisson?
When P(X=0) is known
When do you use inverse normal distribution?
When probability is known, When value of one of parameters is not known
What distrbution has events that do not occur simultaneously?
Poisson Distribution
...random and unpredictable = what distribution?
Poisson Distribution
Poisson has a limit of what?
Lower limit is 0, usually no upper limit
How do the events of poisson distribution occur?
Discrete events occuring in continuous but finite amount of time
Rare events are characteristics of what distribution?
Poisson Distribution
How many outcomes does bionomial distribution have?
Two outcomes
What happens to the probability of bionomial distribution?
It stays the same
Number of trials is a characteristic of what distribution?
Binomial Distribution
What two distributions have events that are indepentent of others?
Poisson and binomial distributions
What are the limits of a bionomial distribion?
Lower limit is 0, upper limit is n (trials)
What kind of data is used for normal distribution?
Measured data
What are the limits to normal ditribution?
No upper or lower limit
When most data is clustered around the central value it is what distribution?
Normal Distribution
What distribution is symmertrical?
Normal distribution
What distributions use continuous distributions? (unable to be counted)
Rectangular and Triangular Distributions
