The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…

It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Example: For what odd primes p is 11 a quadratic residue modulo p? Solution: This is really asking "when is (11 | p) =1?" First, 11 = 3 (mod 4). To use LQR, consider two cases p = 1 or 3 (mod 4): p=1 We have 1 = (11 | p) = (p | 11), so p is a quadratic residue modulo 11. By brute force: 121, 224, 3² = 9, 4² = 5, 5² = 3 (mod 11) so the quadratic residues mod 11 are 1,3,4,5,9. Using CRT for p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 1,3,4,5,9 (mod 11). p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 1 (mod 11 gives p 1 (mod 44). p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 3 (mod 11) gives p25 (mod 44). p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 4 (mod 11) gives p=37 (mod 44). p = 1 (mod 4) & p = 5 (mod 11) gives p 5 (mod 44). p = 1 (mod 4) & p=9 (mod 11) gives p 9 (mod 44). So p =1,5,9,25,37 (mod 44).
