ESL103 Unequal distribution of wealth in the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is a country located in the Caribbean. It has a population about nine million of people. It is a country with a natural wealth but also with economic wealth which is affected by the unequal distribution. The Dominican Republic has three economic classes literally; high class‚ middle class‚ and lower class. Of the

The T-Distribution and T-Test “In probability and statistics‚ Student ’s t-distribution (or simply the t-distribution) is a continuous probability distribution that arises when estimating the mean of a normally distributed population in situations where the sample size is small” (Narasimhan ‚ 1996). Similar to the normal distribution‚ the t-distribution is symmetric and bell-shaped‚ but has heavier tails‚ meaning that it is more likely to produce values far from its mean. This makes the t-distribution

April 2013. SPECIAL DISTRIBUTIONS I. Concept of probability (3%) 1. Explain why the distribution B(n‚p) can be approximated by Poisson distribution with parameter if n tends to infinity‚ p 0‚ and = np can be considered constant. 2. Show that – and + are the turning points in the graph of the p.d.f. of normal distribution with mean and standard deviation . 3. What is the relationship between exponential distribution and Poisson distribution? II. Computation

Inequality refers to the way socially defined groups of individuals are positioned within their society as gender‚ class‚ age and ethnicity. This also involves the unequal distribution of social goods and services such as the labour market‚ health care and education (Chenoweth & McAuliffe 2012). Inequality can have many negative effects on the community and the way we live in our society. Donnison (2013) examines inequality in Britain and the damages most people will experience during their course

INTRODUCTION The subject of economic growth and equitable distribution of income of any country is an economically important one. The fulfillment of economic development in each country is based on achieving two goals‚ including fairly rapid economic growth and income distribution in society. More growth and better distribution is not possible at the same time-some economist argued. So it needs to make trade-off. The issue of growth and income distribution is very much concerns to the economist and it is
