Statistics - Binomial & Poisson Distributions

[@stasydryaeva5829]

I am doing Math Higher Level in IB, and I am doing it online (there is no teacher in my school who can teach math) And if it wasn't for this video, I dn't know if I would ever understand the topics I have to study. Alone. Thank you!

[@emadharazi5044]

One of the most thoroughly and well explained videos I have come across. The constant use of different examples really helped make things clear. Thank you for this

You are VERY welcome! Thank you for the kind words.

excellent video n explanation. just started my certification course in buisness analytics using sas . so had to study these concepts again after almost 14 years . very well explained . keep it up sir

[@orobleh77]

Thank You Dr. Craig for this vedio. You simply explain probabilities which are hard concepts for many students in simple way.

[@mithunkumar25557]

My God, such a clear explanation. Thank you sir.

Thanks so much Sir am having Stats exam and didn't understand the concept. You explained this well; you are a great Lecturer.

Gotta say thanks for the added formula at the end i needed that and the binomial and i was so happy to see your video also had that little gem.

I'm struggling with a particular question..That being; average BOD content being 2.25mg/litre. If a 5 litre sample of water is taken, what is the probability of finding BOD contents of;1mgless then 3mgmore than 6mgAt least 2mg BOD is measured if only 1.5 litre of water is sampledDo I do 2.25 x 5 to get the total average? Or do I just use 2.25 as my lambda?

Could you solve this problem, In tossing 10 coins, what's the probability that a 3rd head will appear on the 10th toss? Thanks.

Use the binomial with 9 choose 2 for the first two heads, then multiply that by 1/2 for the probability of the third one in the tenth spot.

[@govindasammy5903]

when you did the minimum and maximum values for a 95% confidence interval, how come u used the standard deviation instead of the standard error? shouldn't it be 11.4 +/- 1.96 (standard error), where standard error =standard deviation ÷ √n

[@DrCraigMcBridePhD]

Great question! That is because we were using the RANGE RULE OF THUMB for that example. We know that from the EMPIRICAL RULE that roughly 95% of the data lies within TWO SD's of the mean, so if we do +- 2SD from the mean, we get roughly a 95% CI. If we were to COMPUTE a PRECISE value, then YES we would in fact use the SE as you mention. The RROT is really just a close approximation to use if you didn't have technology or a way to compute the actual CI.

In a binomial experiment with n=300 p=0.5 Find p>0.6 I cannot seem to find the answer will you please assist me? If I say 1-px=0.0and 0.1 and 0.2,and 0,4 and 0,5, and 0.6 then it should give me the answer but I get an error when I put it in my calculator I assume it is because they are asking for p> a fraction instead of a numerical number such as 1, 2. 3 exc, If there is someone in chat or KZbinr that'll be able to help me I would greatly appreciate it

[@DrCraigMcBridePhD]

You can't find the probability of a decimal with a binomial. You can only find probabilities related to whole numbers, so either it is a misprint, or you are misunderstanding the question. You could find P(X>6) given n=300 and p = 0.5 but your question does not fit a binomial.

How did u get 1.5

[@DrCraigMcBridePhD]

DO you mean 0.15? Because I don't think there is a 1.5 anywhere in this video. 0.15 is the probability of a failure because we are given P(success) = 0.85 and thus the compliment is 0.15

[@amelia7700]

for 16:50 how did u get 10 ? TnT

[@DrCraigMcBridePhD]

the 10 comes from the combination at the front (the thing with exclamation points). 5! means 5*4*3*2*1 and 2! = 2*1 etc. If you work out 5!/(2!*3!) you get 10, which equals the number of ways you can rearrange 3 successes and 2 failures where you can't tell the difference between two failures or two successes (IE: the results are not distinguishable except for failure versus success)

[@sayanjitb]

so in the last hurricane example maximum possibility of hurricane occurrence is 5.3 per year right?

[@DrCraigMcBridePhD]

Sorry, no. 5.3 is the EXPECTED value or the AVERAGE number of hurricanes over the last 100 years. There is no MAXIMUM possible number.

[@sayanjitb]

@@DrCraigMcBridePhD if this is so , provided 530 hurricanes over 100 years time period, so how is this possible that there is no upper limit of occurrence in a single a year because total has to be 530. And also 530 hurricanes are distributed over 100 years, so it should be done uniformly right? Please make it clear sir! I am bit confused ! Thanks in advance

[@DrCraigMcBridePhD]

@@sayanjitb 530 over 100 years are the numbers that were OBSERVED in the PAST. We use data from the past to allow us to make educated GUESSES at what MIGHT happen in the future. SO, we had an average of 5.3 per year, but that doesn't mean there was an equal spread. There is no max. You could have 100 in a year or you could end up having 500 in one year! Those likelihoods are VERY small, but there is no max with probability distributions. Unless you are told that a distribution has a uniform spread, there is nothing that forces it to be so.
