An electronic counter records the number of vehicles exiting the interstate at a particular point. Assume that the average number of vehicles leaving a 5 minute period is 10. Approximate the probability that between 100 and 200 vehicles inclusive will exit at this point in a one hour period.
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
This is the third time I've had to ask this question because it has not been explained well. I would like to know where the numbers .0279 and .9721 come from. Also, what is excel formula? How do I calculate it? I do not see an excel button on my graphing calculator and I was not able to find excel formula in my textbook. Please explain this well:
