Concept explainers

It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Basic Probability

The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Textbook Question

Chapter 11, Problem 34SE

Draft Lottery When the draft lottery for military service in the Vietnam War was conducted, officials “randomly” selected birthdays. For example, September 14 was selected first, and that date was assigned the rank of 1. If March 7 were selected second, it would be assigned the rank of 2. This meant that all eligible men with birthdays on September 14 were drafted first, and men with birthdays on March 7 were selected next. If the birthdays were selected truly at random, the mean rank for each month should be about the same as that of any other month. The output shown below compares the mean ranks for each month. Small values mean the people born in that month were more likely to be called up.

Chapter 11, Problem 34SE, Draft Lottery When the draft lottery for military service in the Vietnam War was conducted,

a. Which month had the smallest mean?

b. Test the hypothesis that the population means are equal for all twelve months. Show all four steps for ANOVA. Do not do post hoc comparisons. Use a significance level of 0.05.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
