Do some normal probability distributions have different means and different standard deviations?
Yes. Normal (or Gaussian) distribution are parametric distributions and they are defined by two parameters: the mean and the variance (square of standard deviation). Each pair of these parameters gives rise to a different normal distribution. However, they can all be "re-parametrised" to the standard normal distribution using z-transformations. The standard normal distribution has mean 0 and variance 1.
What does distributions free mean in statistics?
It means independent of the underlying distribution.
What do mode meadian and mean mean in maths?
A variable is a measure that can take different values. How often it can take these different values defines its distribution. Mode, median and mean are three common measures of central tendency of distributions.
When should you use relative frequency such as percentages in comparing two distributions?
When comparing the spread or variability rather than the location or mean. For example, men's heights and women's heights. You "know" that, on average, men will be taller but you may want to see if the variability within the two sets is the same or different.
How do you derive the mean deviation about the mean of the pareto type 1 distributions?
Easy. The mean deviation about the mean, for any distribution, MUST be 0.
