Question 1

Continuous Uniform Distribution

Answer 1

Distribution describing a continuous random variable that has an equally likely chance of assuming a value within a specified range

Question 2

Normal Probability Distribution

Answer 2

Most extensively used probability distribution in statistical work and the cornerstone of statistical inference. It is symmetric and bell-shaped and is completely described by the mean and the variance

Question 3

Continuous Uniform Distribution Formula

Answer 3

f(x) = 1 / (b - a)

for a ≤ x ≤ b

Question 4

Standard Normal Distribution

Answer 4

Special case of the normal distribution with a mean equal to zero and a standard deviation equal to one

Question 5

Standard Transformation

Answer 5

Normally distributed random variable X with mean and standard deviation can be transformed into the standard normal random variable
Z = (X - mean)/sd
