What is the formula for the mean when working with general probability distribution (graph)
Sumx px
What is the sd for general probably distributions
O= square root of (sum (x-u)^2 px)
When drawing a histogram for a general probability distribution, which values go along the x axis and which values go along the y axis
X= x axis Px= y axis
What is the formula for binomial problems for
P(r)= Cn,r p^r q^n-r
How to tell if a problem is binomial or normal
If it is normal, it will say so in the question
When to use binomialcdf or binomialpdf
Use pdf when the value is exact
Use cdf for all others
How to find the mean of a binomial problem
U=np
How to find SD of binomial problem
O= square root of (npq)
What are the empirical rules?
68% of data will be 1 standard deviation away from mean
95% of data will be 2 SD away from mean
99.7% of data will be 3 SD away from mean
In a normal distribution, how do we find the z score when n=1
X= x-u / o
In a normal distribution, who do we find z score when n>1
Z= x(bar) - u (xbar) divided by o/ square root of n
When finding mean of x bar, what equation do we use
U of x bar = u
Find SD of x bar
O of x bar= o/square root of n
How do we use invnorm?
(Area to the left that is already given, u, o)
Invnorm only calculates to the ___
Left
