A population of measurements is approximately normally distributed with mean of 25 and a variance of 9. Find the probability that a measurement selected at random will be between 19 and 31. Solution: The values 19 and 31 must be transformed into the corresponding z values and then the area between the two z values found. Using the transformation formula from X to z (where µ = 25 and σ √9 = 3)‚ we have z19 = (19 – 25) / 3 = -2 and z31 = (31 - 25) / 3 = +2 From the area between z =±2 is 2(0

Probability distribution Definition with example: The total set of all the probabilities of a random variable to attain all the possible values. Let me give an example. We toss a coin 3 times and try to find what the probability of obtaining head is? Here the event of getting head is known as the random variable. Now what are the possible values of the random variable‚ i.e. what is the possible number of times that head might occur? It is 0 (head never occurs)‚ 1 (head occurs once out of 2 tosses)

Is Wealth Distribution Today Just? In current times we often observe that many members of our society receive less than other members regardless of whether they are no less deserving. In contrast‚ there are some who have ownership over assets and earn income that they may not be deserving of. The distributive balance is upset and wealth distribution today can thus be seen as a social injustice. This injustice that is becoming more noticeable as people start to become aware of the facts‚ as we can
Premium Wealth Economic inequality Distribution of wealth
The unequal distribution of wealth has always been a huge problem that has plagued society throughout the ages. As forms of governments of each nation have changed‚ the unequal distribution of wealth has remained a constant. Even in Communist countries‚ which were supposed to eliminate this problem by abolishing the private ownership of land‚ the unequal distribution of wealth was still a problem in their society. It is difficult for society as a whole to make advancements‚ because of the unequal
