conditions for poisson
- independently
- singly
- constant average rate
mean and var of poisson
lambda
conditions for approximating binomial as poisson
- n is large
- p is is small
how to approximate binomial to poisson
lambda = np
what is geo used for
number of trials for one success
geo P(X=x)
p(1-p)^x-1
geo P(X<=x)
1-(1-p)^x-1
geo P(X>x)
(1-p)^x
geo P(x>=x)
(1-p)^x-1
mean of geo
1/p
var of geo
(1-p)/p^2
what is -ve B used for
number of trials to get a set number of successes
-ve B P(X=x)
x-1Cr-1 p^r(1-p)^x-r
mean of -ve B
r/p
var of -ve B
r(1-p)/p^2
CLT
sample size of n from any dist with mean mu and var sigma^2 then mean x is canr be distributed N(mu, sigma^2/n)
goodness of fit formula
(Oi-Ei)^2/Ei
degrees of freedom
cells-constraints (at least 1)
if X^2 exceeds critical val
reject null
Ei for contingency tables
(row tot x column tot)/total
if P is less than significance level
reject Ho
