A random variable has a Chi-square distribution if it can be written as a sum of squares of independent standard normal variables. Sums of this kind are encountered very often in statistics, especially in theestimation of varianceand in hypothesis testing. In this lecture, we derive the formul...
This is all the more surprising given that a very simple proof is available, which is the subject of this note; we identify the product of two zero mean correlated normal random variables as a variance-gamma random variable, from which an explicit formula for probability density function is ...
The proof of such formula provides as by-product estimators for the mean density in terms of the empirical capacity functional, which turns to be closely related to the well known random variable density estimation by histograms in the extreme case $n=0$. Particular cases and examples are also...
n = total number of data values Weighted Mean Theweighted meanis calculated when certain values that are given in a data set are more important than the others. A weight wiis attached to each of the values xi. The general formula to find the weighted mean is given as, ...

Find the mean, μX, of the random variable X. Find the variance , σX, of X. Probability Mass Function: The probability distribution of discrete variables and continuous variables is known by the names 'probability mass function' and 'probabili...
TheMeanfunction computes and/or plots the arithmetic mean of the specified random variable or data set. This is the same as the expected value of the random variable. The same command can be obtained asExpectedValue. • The first parameter can be adata sample(e.g., aVector), aMatrix da...
The {eq}z{/eq}-scores are the converted raw scores with the help of mean and standard deviation. These {eq}z{/eq}-scores follow the standard normal distribution useful for computing percentiles. The percentile for any random variable ...
Using a special notation which covers the particular structure of the staggered nested design, this paper systematically derives the canonical form for the arbitrary m-factors. Under the normality assumption for every random variable, a vector comprising m canonical variables from each experimental unit...
An alternative formula for the variance of a random variable (equation (3)): The binomial coefficient property (equation (4)): Using these identities, as well as a few simple mathematical tricks, we derived the binomial distribution mean and variance formulas. In the last two sections below, ...
