1. Define binomial and Poisson discrete probability distributions. How can they be applied into business research. Give an example for each.
2. Peter obtained a sample and then checked the distribution of the data. Because the distribution is not normal, his professor, Dr. Who, asked him to increase the sample size by collecting additional data. Dr. Who said, “The sample distribution must be normal in order to carry out any valid test procedure, because the sample should represent the population, which is usually normally distributed”
Is Dr. Who right? Why or why not?
3. Refer back to question 2. Dr. Who’s argument is that the sample should represent the population. If the distribution is normally distributed, the sample should be normal, too. But is it true that most population distributions are normal?
4. Using the Computer to Generate Poisson Distributions. Ch.5
5. Define hypergeometric distribution. ch.5
6. what are the characteristics of the exponential distribution? Ch.6
7. What are the Characteristics of the Normal Distribution? Ch.6
8.
