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…

A smallish urn contains 25 small plastic bunnies – 7 of which are pink and 18 of which are white. 10 bunnies are drawn from the urn at random with replacement, and X is the number of pink bunnies that are drawn. (a) P(X = 5) ≈ (b) P(X<6) ≈ The Whoville small urn contains 100 marbles – 60 blue and 40 orange. The Grinch sneaks in one night and grabs a simple random sample (without replacement) of 15 marbles.  (a) The probability that the Grinch gets exactly 6 blue marbles is         [ Select ]      ["≈ 0.054", "≈ 0.043", "≈ 0.061"]  . (b) The probability that the Grinch gets at least 7 blue marbles is         [ Select ]      ["≈ 0.922", "≈ 0.905", "≈ 0.893"]  . (c) The probability that the Grinch gets between 8 and 12 blue marbles (inclusive) is         [ Select ]      ["≈ 0.801", "≈ 0.760", "≈ 0.786"]  .

Using Karnaugh maps and Gray coding, reduce the following circuit represented as a table and write the final circuit in simplest form (first in terms of number of gates then in terms of fan-in of those gates).
Consider the alphabet {a, b, c}.• Design a regular expression that recognizes all strings over {a, b, c} that have at least three nonconsec-utive c characters (two characters are non-consecutive if there is at least one character between them)and at least one a character.• Explain how your regular expression recognizes the string cbbcccac by clearly identifying which partsof the string match to the components of your regular expression
