By considering all outcomes without running experiments you use what probability?
theoretical
What is the probability of a class running between 51.25 and 51.5 minutes if the uniform distribution is between 50 and 52?
The probability is (51.5-51.25)/(52-50) = 0.25/2 = 0.125
How does sampling distribution work in statistics?
Sampling distribution in statistics works by providing the probability distribution of a statistic based on a random sample. An example of this is figuring out the probability of running out of water on a camping trip.
What is the meaning of hypothesis in statistics?
A hypothesis is the first step in running a statistical test (t-test, chi-square test, etc.) A NULL HYPOTHESIS is the probability that what you are testing does NOT occur. An ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS is the probability that what you are testing DOES occur.
The difference between the theoretical and empirical probability?
The term empirical means "based on observation or experiment." An empirical probability is generally, but not always, given with a number indicating the possible percent error (e.g. 80+/-3%). A theoretical probability, however, is one that is calculatedbased on theory, i.e., without running any experiments.Since there is no theory that will calculate the probability that an area will experience an earthquake within a given time frame, the 90% figure is an empirical probability, presumably based on data of major earthquakes in the San Francisco area over past years.
