SPECIAL SPECIAL DISTRIBUTIONSDISTRIBUTIONS

5.1 DISCRETE DISTRIBUTION

Consist of the values a random variable can assume and the corresponding

probabilities of the values.

The probabilities are determined theoretically or by observation.

5.1.1 Binomial Probability Distribution

Binomial Probability Distribution – the outcomes of a binomial experiment

and the corresponding probabilities of these outcomes.

It is applied to find the probability that an outcome will occur x times in n

performances of experiment.

For example:

The probability of a defective laptop manufactured at a firm is 0.05 in a

random sample of ten.

The probability of 8 packages will not arrive at its destination.

To apply the binomial probability distribution, the random variable x must be

a discrete dichotomous random variable.

Each repetition of the experiment must result in one of two possible

outcomes.

Conditional of a Binomial Experiment

1. Each trial can have only two outcomes or outcomes that can be reduced to

two outcomes. These outcomes can be considered as either success or

failure.

2. There must be a fixed number of trials.

3. The outcomes of each trial must be independent of each other. In other

words, the outcome of one trial does not affect the outcome of another trial.

4. The probability of success is denoted by p and that of failure by q, and p +

q=1. The probabilities p and q remain constant for each trial.

Chapter 5: Special Distribution 1

The success does not mean that the corresponding outcome is considered favorable or desirable and vice versa

The outcome to which the question refers is called a success; the outcome to which it does not refer is called a failure.

5.1.1.1 Calculating Binomial Probability

There are two methods to calculate the binomial probability:

a) Using Binomial Probability Distribution Formula

For a binomial experiment, the probability of exactly x successes in n trials

is given by the binomial formula:

P(x) = nCx px qn-x

Where;

n = the total number of trialsp = probability of successq = 1-p = probability of failurex = number of successes in n trialsn-x = number of failures in n trials

Compute the probabilities of X successes, using the binomial formula; n= 6, X= 3, p=0.03

Solution:

a) P(x=3) = 6C3 (0.03)3(1-0.03)6-3

= 6C3 (0.03)3(0.97)3

= 0.0005

A survey found that one out five Malaysian says he or she has visited a doctor in any given month. If 10 people are selected at random, find the probability that exactly 3 will have visited a doctor last month.

Solution:

b) Using the Table of Binomial Probabilities

The probabilities for a binomial experiment can also be read from the table of

binomial probabilities.

For any number of trials n:

If you are using cumulative binomial probabilities table; P(X ≤ x); it is easier to calculate

various from of binomial distribution such as:

Equally P(X = x) = P(X ≤ x) - P(X ≤ x - 1) or use formula

At most P(X ≤ x) = P(X ≤ x) (directly from the table)

Less than P(X < x) = P(X ≤ x - 1)

At least P(X ≥ x) = 1 – P(X ≤ x - 1)

Greater than P(X > x) = 1 – P(X ≤ x)

From x1 to x2 P(x1 ≤ X ≤ x2) = P(X ≤ x2) - P(X ≤ x1 - 1)

Between x1 and x2 P(x1<X<x2) = P(X ≤ x2 - 1) - P(X ≤ x1)

Between x1 to x2 P(x1< X ≤ x2) = P(X ≤ x2) - P(X ≤ x1 )

Compute the probability of X successes using the Binomial Table where n=2, p=0.30 and X ≤1

5.2 CONTINUOUS DISTRIBUTION

In Chapter 4, we defined a continuous random variable as a random variable

whose values are not countable.

A continuous random variable can assume any value over an interval or

intervals because the number of values contained in any interval is infinite.

The possible number of values that a continuous random variable can

assume is also infinite.

Example of continuous random variables:

The life of battery, heights of people, time taken to complete an examination,

amount of milk in a gallon, weights of babies, prices of houses.

The probability distribution of continuous random variable has two

characteristics:

1. The probability that x assumes a value in any interval lies in the range 0 to 1.

Figure 1: Area under a curve between two points.

2. The total probability of all the (mutually exclusive) intervals within which x can

assume a value is 1.0.

5.2.1 Normal Distribution

The normal distribution is the most important and most commonly used

among all of probability distributions.

A large number of phenomena in the real world are normally distributed

either exactly or approximately.

The normal probability distribution or the normal curve is a bell-shaped

(symmetric) curve.

Its mean is denoted by while its standard deviation is denoted by .

Figure 3: Normal distribution with mean; and standard deviation; .

A plotted normal probability distribution will gives a bell-shaped curve which

can be illustrated likes:

a) The total area under the curve is 1.0. b) The curve is symmetric about the

mean.

c)

Chapter 5: Special Distribution 15

Page 16: sqqs1013-chp05

QQS1013 Elementary Statistics

c) The two tails of the curve extend indefinitely which means that the curve never

touch x- axis.

5.2.1.1 The Standard Normal Distribution

Is a normal distribution with = 0 and = 1.

The value under the curve indicates the proportion of area in each section.

(example figure 2; pg 13)

The units for the standard normal distribution curve are denoted by z and

called the z values or z scores.

The z value or z score is actually the number of standard deviation that a

particular x value is away from the mean.

The area under a standard normal distribution curve is used to solve

practical application problems such as:

finding the percentage of adult woman whose height is between 5 feet 4

inches and 5 feet 7 inches.

A. Finding areas under the standard normal distribution curve

The standard normal distribution table lists the areas under the

standard normal curve to the left of z-values from –3.49 to 3.49.

Although the z-values on the left side of the mean are negative, the area

under the curve is always positive.

Determine the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z = 1.95

Page 18: sqqs1013-chp05

QQS1013 Elementary Statistics

Note: z = 1.95 can be interpreted as area to the left of 1.95. P(z < 1.95) = 0.9744 or P(z < 1.95) = P(z 1.95) = 0.9744The probability that a continuous random variable assumes a single value is zero. Therefore, P(z = 1.95) = 0.

Find the area under the standard normal curve:a) To the left of z = 1.56b) To the right of z = -1.32c) From z = 0.85 to z = 1.95

Solution:

a) To the left of z = 1.56

P(z < 1.56) = 0.9406

b) To the right of z = -1.32

P(z > -1.32) = 1 – P(z < -1.32)

= 1 - 0.0934

= 0.9066

c) From z = 0.85 to z = 1.95

P(0.85 z 1.95) = P(z 1.95) – P(z 0.85)

= 0.9744 – 0.8023

5.3 INTRODUCTION TO t- DISTRIBUTION

The t distribution is very similar to the standardized normal distribution.

Both distributions are bell-shaped and symmetrical.

However, the t distribution has more area in the tails and less in the center

than does the standardized normal distribution.

This is because is unknown and S is used to estimate it.

Because the value of is uncertain, the values of t that are observed will be

more variable than for Z.

Chapter 5: Special Distribution 21

Standard normalt distribution for 5 degrees of freedom

Page 22: sqqs1013-chp05

QQS1013 Elementary Statistics

As the number of degrees of freedom increases, the t distribution gradually

approaches the standardized normal distribution until the two are virtually

identical.

This happens because S becomes a better estimate of as the sample size

gets larger.

With a sample size of about 120 or more, S estimates precisely enough

that there is little difference between the t and Z distributions.

For this reason, most statisticians use Z instead of t when the sample size is

greater than 120.
