A similar process can be used when dealing with sample means. If a suYcient number of samples have been taken, and their means plotted, then they begin to take up a normal distribution. It can be shown mathematically that the mean of this distribution (μx) is the same as the population mean (μ). Furthermore, the standard deviation of the distribution is equal to ó/'n, where n is the number of c...

An Introduction to Probability Distributions

Before continuing, we will explain the terms probability, independent, and mutually exclusive events as this will assist in the understanding of the paper. The probability of an event is the proportion of times an event will occur if the experiment is repeated infinitely. These probabilities lie between 0 and 1, and an event with probability 0 will never occur, while an event with probability 1...
