- nPk = n! / (n-k)!
- n: size of the set
- k: elements drawn
Normal Distribution
Z distribution is a normal distribution with a mean (μ) of 0 and a standard deviation (δ) of 1. Any normal distribution is described by its μ and δ value.
To convert a normal distribution to a Z distribution
Z = (x - μ) / δ
Binomial Distribution
Similar to normal distribution, but for values that can only be discrete.
Probability of an event happening k times given n trials, where p is the probability of n:
pk(1-p)n-k
Example: The probability of two heads in six coin flips:
.52(1-.5)6-2 = .25 * .54</sup = 0.015625
