How do you convert probabilities to odds?

Just take the probability, which is a decimal number between 0 and 1, and convert it into a fraction.  For instance, a probability of 0.75 corresponds to odds of 3 in 4.


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.


A normal distribution with a mean of 55 and a standard deviation of 6 is evaluated to solve a business problem. What is the probability that any value in the population is between 55 and 65?

Convert to Std Normal Distribution and calculate (or use java script) area under curve for probability (see related links). Z55= (55-55)/6 = 0 and Z65 = (65-55)/6 = 1.667. We need area under curve for Z from 0 to 1.667. From javascript = use between 0 & 1.667, obtain .4522 or 45.22% probability. From Table; 0.9525-0.5 = .4525 = 45.25% (use above; more accurate but this IS close).


How do you calculate a priori probability when you know standard deviation and mean scores?

If it is possible to assume normality, simply convert the desired score to a z-score, and look up the probability for that.


What is 3 out of 8?

Your 3 out of 8 is a fraction representing 3/8ths. It could be odds in some kind of exercise in probability. The activity yields a 3 in 8 chance of a given outcome. As an expression of odds, it's 3 to 8 (or 3:8). Same 3 in 8 chances of a given outcome. In probability, the range is from 0 (no chance whatever of the event happening) to 1 (it is going to happen and no force in the universe will preven it). To convert 3 out of 8 in to probability, we divide 3 by 8 and get 0.375 for the probability. We can convert that to something else, and we get 375 out of 1000 for a "new" representation.

Why you use a laplace transformation?

It is typically used to convert a function from the time to the frequency domain.


What is the relationship between the Z-score for Normal Distribution and Continuous Probability?

There is no real relationship. Probabilities for the Normal distribution are extremely difficult to work out. The z-score is a method used to convert any Normal distribution into the Standard Normal distribution so that its probabilities can be looked up in tables easily. There are infinitely many types of continuous probability distributions and the Normal is just one of them.

How do you find the probability between two values given the population mean and standard deviation?

The answer depends on the distribution of the random variable. For some variables it is easy to calculate the cumulative distribution, F(x).Then, the probability between the values p and q is F(q) - F(p). WARNING: This might need minor modification if the the distribution is discrete.The normal distribution is one which, in general, cannot be evaluated analytically. However, you can convert p and q to the x=corresponding z-score. If m is the mean and s the standard deviations, then z1 = (p - m)/s and z2 = (q - m)/s. The cumulative probability function for Z is tabulated (widely available online) and the probability between p and q is F(z2) - F(z1).Note, however, that sometimes the tabulated values are (Prob - 0.5), or are 1 - Prob(z) so read notes to the table.


What is the Difference between frequency converter and frequency inverter?

frequency is genrally cycle per second, and frequencies may be of a dc nature or ac , devices which convert dc frequency in to an ac frequency are frequency converters and devieces which convert ac frequency in to dc frequency are frequency inverters. because in terms of power electronics, devices which convert ac to dc are called converters, and devices which convert dc in to ac are called "inverters" 'mehboob hunzai" I'm a engineers in this devices, the frequency inverter is convert AC to AC but with variable frequency output, means the frequency & voltage are adjustable; The frequency converter can convert DC to AC, like 24VDC to 220VAC and also the frequency is adjustable. One most important thing is the out power of frequency inverter just can be used for controlling AC motor, while frequency converter can be treated as normal power supply as our daily using power grid.

What is a z-score used for?

The z-score is used to convert a variable with a Gaussian [Normal] distribution with mean m and standard error s to a variable with a standard normal distribution. Since the latter is tabulated, the probability of an outcome as extreme or more compared to the one observed is easily obtained.


Why you convert FM signal to IF frequency?

Mix it with a local oscillator whose frequency is (the IF frequency) away from the frequency of the FM signal you're interested in.


How t convert high frequency into low frequency?

To covert a high frequency to a low one, we use flip-flops.


What is the right way to convert wavelength to frequency?

To convert wavelength to frequency, you can use the equation: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. Simply divide this speed by the wavelength in meters to find the frequency in hertz.


How can you convert frequency to wavelength?

To convert frequency to wavelength, you can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 meters per second. Dividing this speed by the frequency in hertz will give you the corresponding wavelength in meters.


What exactly does a frequency converter convert?

A frequency converter is an electronic device that converts the frequency of an electrical signal. It is commonly used to convert the frequency of power supply in industrial applications, enabling equipment to operate at different speeds or with different power requirements.
