Inverse Normal Distribution
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…
Mean, Median, Mode
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…

Topic: Group Theory | Abstract Algebra Question: Let G be a finite group of order 45. Prove that G has a normal subgroup of order 5 or order 9, and describe the number of Sylow subgroups for each. Instructions: • Use Sylow's Theorems (existence, conjugacy, and counting). • List divisors of 45 and compute possibilities for n for p = 3 and p = 5. Show that if n = 1, the subgroup is normal. Conclude about group structure using your analysis.
