What is the variance for the uniform random variable?
the variance of the uniform distribution is (a+b)/12
Why random distribution patterns for species are the rarest in nature?
The reason why random distribution patterns for species are the rarest in nature is because of biotic and abiotic factors. These give rise to organisms being clustered or spread out.
What would the integer be of a rolled number cube?
It could be a random variable with a discrete uniform distribution over the range 1 to 6.
What is random distribution in biology?
A random distribution is a random sample set displayed in the form of a bell curve. See random sample set.
What is the difference between a random number and random variable?
A random number is also called a random deviate or pseudo random number. It is a value that is generated by a computer, given a probability distribution. The uniform random number is distributed according to the uniform distribution with values from 0 to 1 and is often used to generate other numbers that follow other distributions. The relative frequency plot of random numbers generated using a particular distribution may not be exactly equal to the particular distribution, due to the limited number of points. But, as the number of random deviates increases, the frequency plot will more closely approximate the given distribution. Random variable have both an intuitive and mathematical definitions. Probability theory is based on sets of events. A throw of coin will have certain outcomes. The random variable, X, links or maps these events to values. A coin can come up heads, so the mapped random variable of this outcome can be 0, and for tails, the random variable of this outcome can be 1. The mathematical definition is a bit more complex- see related links. A random variable is associated with what is considered a random process. If we know the outcome without any uncertainty, we would call it an deterministic process and the outcomes deterministic variables.
What are the 3 dispersion patterns in an ecosystem?
randomly spaced, evenly spaced, and clumped distribution.
What are the three basic patterns?
Uniform, Clumped and Random
What are the three types of dispersion patterns?
Clumped,uniform,and random
What are three basic population distribution patterns?
linear pattern , concentrated pattern , clustered pattern ...:)
What is the most common dispersion in nature?
There are many dispersions, there is uniform, clumped and random. The most common is clumped dispersion
What are the three main patterns of dispersion in a population?
There are three main patterns of dispersion. These include clumped, even, and random. If individuals are evenly dispersed, they are located at equal intervals. If they are clumped, they are bunched together in clusters. Random dispersion means the location of each individual is determined by chance. The most common type of dispersion in nature is clumped.
What are the three small scale population distributions shown in nature?
They are as follows: Clumped, Random, and Nearly Uniform. :)
What is the variance for the uniform random variable?
the variance of the uniform distribution is (a+b)/12

The reason why random distribution patterns for species are the rarest in nature is because of biotic and abiotic factors. These give rise to organisms being clustered or spread out.
What are the three types of population dispersion patterns?
Uniform - known as uniform or even distribution, this distribution pattern is characterized by the maximization of distance between any two individuals. Typically this is found in plants; they compete for a resource such as soil nutrients or moisture, so they space themselves far apart in order to maximize the amount of resource consumption. It can also be a result of territorial behavior as in penguin colonies.Clumped - the most common distribution pattern in nature, clumped distribution is the opposite of uniform: individuals minimize the space between others; as a result, "clumps" of species form around each other. This can be a result of unreliable resources. If one area tends to accumulate one resource important to the population, the individuals of the population will clump around this resource. It is also found among many animals to either aid predation or fend off predators. Hyenas, lions, and cheetahs hunt in packs to ensure a kill while schools of fish aggregate to minimize the chance that any one fish will be eaten.Random - in very homogenous environments, random or unpredictable spacing will occur, but this is not common in nature. For random distribution to occur, an individual of the population won't have any affinity or repulsion from another individual, nor will they have a preference for location due to biotic factors. Some examples of random dispersion include the random destinations of dandelion seeds dispersed by the wind and oyster larvae that are carried by water currents.
What dispersion type are humans?
Clumped dispersion-individuals are clumped together in groups. Random dispersion-each individual's location is independent of the locations of other individuals in the population. Uniform dispersion-individuals are separated by a fairly consistent distance.
What is spatial dispersion?
dispersion refers to the spatial arrangement of organismsThere are three main types of dispersion patterns in which organisms of the same species can be arranged: random, regular, and clumpedA random pattern dictates that any one organism's position is independent of the position of the other organisms within proximity to it. It is no more likely to be located next to one than it is to another. Regular and clumped patterns, on the other hand, dictate that any one organism's position is dependent on the position of other organisms within proximity to it. A regular pattern shows even spacing among individuals while a clumped pattern shows aggregated spacing among individuals. These patterns can apply to any type of organism, be it plant, animal, protist, or fungus. And while there are just three patterns, there are a large variety of potential explanations that can create those patterns.
