SPECIAL
DISTRIBUTIONS

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.
Characteristics 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 Distributions

SQQS1013 Elementary Statistics

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:
FORMUL
A

P(x) = nCx px qn-x

Where;
n =
p =
q =
x =
n-x =

the total number of trials


probability of success
1-p = probability of failure
number of successes in n trials
number of failures in n trials

Example 1
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

Example 2
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:

SQQS1013 Elementary Statistics

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:


The binomial probability distribution is symmetric if p = 0.5
The binomial probability distribution is skewed to the right if p is less than
0.5
The binomial probability distribution is skewed to the left if p is greater than
0.5

various from of binomial distribution such as:
Equally
At most

At least
Greater than
From x1 to x2
Between x1 and x2
Between x1 to x2

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


P(X x) = P(X x) (directly from the table)
P(X < x) = P(X x - 1)
P(X x) = 1 P(X x - 1)
P(X > x) = 1 P(X x)
P(x1 X x2) = P(X x2) - P(X x1 - 1)
P(x1<X<x2) = P(X x2 - 1) - P(X x1)
P(x1< X x2) = P(X x2) - P(X x1 )

and when the independent variables occur over a period of time or given

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 Distributions

14

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.

Chapter 5: Special Distributions

15

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.
How to read the probability value from the standard normal distribution table
Determine the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z = 1.95

Chapter 5: Special Distributions

16

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) = 0.9744
The probability that a continuous random variable assumes a single value is
zero. Therefore, P(z = 1.95) = 0.

Example
13
Find the area under the standard normal curve:
a) To the left of z = 1.56
b) To the right of z = -1.32
c) 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)

= 0.9066

c) From z = 0.85 to z = 1.95

Converting an x Value to a z Value

corresponding z value by using the formula:

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.
Standard normal
t distribution for 5
degrees of freedom

Chapter 5: Special Distributions

20

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.
