It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Basic Probability

The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14.2, Problem 69E

Wasp Mating Systems. In the paper "Mating System and Sex Allocation in the Gregarious Parasitoid Cotesia glomerata" (Animal Behaviour, Vol. 66, pp. 259–264), H. Gu and S. Dorn reported on various aspects of the mating system and sex allocation strategy of the wasp C. glomerata. One part of the study involved the investigation of the percentage of male wasps dispersing before mating in relation to the brood sex ratio (proportion of males). The data obtained by the researchers axe on the WeissStats site.

a. Obtain a scatter plot for the data.
b. Is it reasonable to find a regression line for the data? Explain your answer.
