The applet simulates the sampling distribution for a proportion. Notice the bell shape of the histogram or dotplot. Selecting the 'Show p' option, you can also see that the distribution is centered ...

That's a no-brainer. But I'd also bet you've probably spent some time wondering what each shape and size actually do. Why do they matter? What's really the difference? What's right for me and ...

Bird beaks come in almost every shape and size - from the straw-like beak of a hummingbird to the slicing, knife-like beak of an eagle. We have found, however, that this incredible diversity is ...

A typical example of a random variable is the outcome of a coin toss. Consider a probability distribution in which the outcomes of a random event aren't equally likely to happen. Y could be 0 ...

Coupling our estimates with the Gaussian assumption for the power sum provides a characterization of the cumulative distribution function which agrees remarkably well with a Monte Carlo simulation in ...

Abstract: This paper examines the distribution of the mantissas of floating point numbers and shows how the arithmetic operations of a computer transform various ...

Two-stage problem of stochastic convex programming with fuzzy probability distribution is studied in this paper. Multicut L-shaped algorithm is proposed to solve the problem based on the fuzzy cutting ...

Early logo design introduced colour and spice by encasing Taco Bell in red chilli pepper. This evolved into 2008's current icon, swapping the pepper shape for a purple bell. The simplified zooming ...
