Is normal distribution a discrete probability?
No. Normal distribution is a continuous probability.
For the normal distribution does it always require a continuity correction?
Use the continuity correction when using the normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution to take into account the binomial is a discrete distribution and the normal distribution is continuous.
Can the mean of a discrete variable like the number of children be normally distributed?
Not really. The distribution is not only discrete but also heavily skewed. However, the average number of children in sets of families can be approximated by the normal distribution.
What are the differences between discrete and continuous distribution?
discrete distribution is the distribution that can use the value of a whole number only while continuous distribution is the distribution that can assume any value between two numbers.
Is the binomial distribution is a continuous distribution?
No it is a "discrete" distribution because the outcomes can only be integers.
How the symmetric distribution is always normal?
The statement is false. The binomial distribution (discrete) or uniform distribution (discrete or continuous) are symmetrical but they are not normal. There are others.
Is normal distribution a discrete probability?
No. Normal distribution is a continuous probability.
Are all symmetric distribution are normal?
No. The binomial distribution (discrete) or uniform distribution (discrete or continuous) are symmetrical but they are not normal. There are others.
What discrete probability distribution can be approximated by a normal dsitribution?
If X has any discrete probability distribution then the sum of a number of observations for X will be normal.
Does this means that all symmetric distribution are normal Explain?
Don't know what "this" is, but all symmetric distributions are not normal. There are many distributions, discrete and continuous that are not normal. The uniform or binomial distributions are examples of discrete symmetric distibutions that are not normal. The uniform and the beta distribution with equal parameters are examples of a continuous distribution that is not normal. The uniform distribution can be discrete or continuous.
Distinguish between binomial distribution and normal distribution?
Normal distribution is the continuous probability distribution defined by the probability density function. While the binomial distribution is discrete.
Which is not a property of the standard normal distribution?
"It is discrete" is not a property.
For the normal distribution does it always require a continuity correction?
Use the continuity correction when using the normal distribution to approximate a binomial distribution to take into account the binomial is a discrete distribution and the normal distribution is continuous.
Can normal distridution apply on discrete data?
Yes, If you have a large data set, you can approximate the discrete data by Normal distribution (which is continuous). An example would be, "A coin is tossed 1000 times. What is the probability of rolling between 300 and 400 heads?" This problem, usually solved by Binomial distribution (which is a discrete distribution), is very difficult to solve because of the large data set and can be approximated by the Normal distribution.
Is the Poisson probability distribution discrete or continuous?
The Poisson distribution is discrete.
Is continuous distribution convert in discrete distribution?
If the question is asking if a continuous distribution can be converted to a discrete distribution, the answer is yes. Your age has a continuous distribution but in most cases, the information is recorded and analysed as if it were the whole number of years - a discrete distribution.
Can the mean of a discrete variable like the number of children be normally distributed?
Not really. The distribution is not only discrete but also heavily skewed. However, the average number of children in sets of families can be approximated by the normal distribution.
