	The binomial distribution		2019-10-01
		PY pose la question : An on-line game called ‘Shop Quiz’ is held by an e-commerce platform, from Monday to Friday every week. It consists of 8 multiple choice questions (MCQ) and each question has four options (A, B, C, D). Only one option is the correct answer. People who are able to correctly answer all 8 questions are winners and will be awarded a number of on-line shopping credits. Let X represent the number of questions that a person can answer correctly in a ‘Shop Quiz’. 1) Explain why Binomial distribution might NOT be a suitable distribution for the random variable X. Mr. Saul likes playing the quiz, however, he is afraid that he might not have the necessary knowledge to answer the quiz questions. (The quiz questions cover a variety of topics including science, history, entertainment, sports and geography, etc.) Therefore, he tries to win the game by simply guessing the answers to each question.

		Anthony Fama pose la question : I have seen several answers to this question: If one standard deviation represents 68% of the population, what does two, three, four and five sigma [std deviation] represent? As stated, I have seen several different answers and thus, the impetus for my question. Harley Weston lui répond.
	The Central Limit Theorem		1997-04-21
		Donna Hall pose la question : A skeptic gives the following argument to show that there must be a flaw in the central limit theorem: We know that the sum of independent Poisson random variables follows a Poisson distribution with aparameter that is the sum of the parameters of the summands. In particular, if n independentPoisson random variables, each with parameter 1/n, are summed, the sum has a Poisson distributionwith parameter 1. The central limit theoren says the sum tends to a normal distribution, butPoisson distribution with parameter 1 is not normal. What do you think of this argument? Neal Madras lui répond.
	The normal distribution.		1997-03-21
		Donna D.Hall pose la question : I am looking for a proof for the normal distribution. I suppose "proof" was not a good choice of words. What I am looking for is a way to "derive" the normal distribution in simple terms so that the most average teenager can see the logic. Can you help me? Harley Weston lui répond.
	What is the variance of the difference of two binomials?		1996-02-08
		Chris Johnson pose la question : My co-workers and I have come up with different estimates of the z-statistic, and are in particular disagreement over the calculation of Variance for this problem. I am trying to find out, with a five percent level of significance, whether the new form yields a higher rate of return than the old form. Any thoughts, comments, or solutions? Harley Weston lui répond.
