The following figures show the landed catch (in tonnes) of three trawlers last month. Check if there is a difference in the average catch depending on the trawlers. Assume that the weight of the catch is normally distributed. Use α = 0.05. Jón Vídalín Bjartur 109 56 62 75 69 89 85 69 32 36 115 162 Average 78,67 81,17 Standard deviation 31,08 43,46
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.
