Sampling Distribution – Normal, Positive or Negative Skewed

Normal Distribution When the mean is equal to the median and mode, the sampling distribution is deemed to be normally distributed.  Positively Skewed or Right Skewed When the mean is more than the median, most of the data is concentrated on the left and hence the data is skewed towards the right.  Negatively Skewed or Left …

What is Binomial Distribution?

1. Consists of N identical trailse.g. Throw a dice 20 times   2. Consists of 2 mutually exclusive outcomese.g. head or tail, defective or not defective, success or failureProbability of success is p, probability of failure is 1 – p (which can also be expressed as q) 3. Consists of constant probability for each observation e.g., …

Characteristics of Normal Distribution

  Normal Distribution‘s Characteristics: 1)   Symmetrical about the mean (median and mode) 
a.     The mean divides the distribution in two where 50% of the distribution lies below the mean and 50% lies above the mean 
b.     The probability that a score falls below the mean is 50% 
c.     The probability that a score falls above …

What is Z score?

 In order for you to compare the scores between sampling distributions you will need to standardize the scores. Imagine telling your friend that you have scored 90 for your finance and 60 for you statistics, your friend would naturally think you are a lot stronger in your finance. However, if the average marks in the …
