15. Discrete Probability Distributions
Binomial Distribution:
Used for discrete single point (Integer) probabilities.
A Binomial probability distribution occurs when there’s a fixed number of “trials” or where there’s a steady stream of items coming from a source.
Used for data with two outcomes, (pass / fail, head / tail, etc.); the events are independent, and probability of outcomes do not change.
Uses Combination and Simple Multiplication

16. Discrete Probability Distributions
Binomial Distribution:
P(d) = Prob. of d nonconforming or target units in sample size n
n = # units in sample
d = # nonconforming or target units in a sample
p0 = proportion nonconforming / targets in population (lot)
q0 = proportion conforming / not a target (1-p0) in population (lot)

Hypergeometric Distribution:
Used for discrete single point (Integer) probabilities.
A Hypergeometric probability distribution occurs when the population is finite, two outcomes are possible, and the random sample is taken without replacement (trials are not Independent).
Uses three Combinations and Simple Multiplication.

24. Discrete Probability Distributions
Hypergeometric Distribution:
P(d) = Prob. of d nonconforming / target units in sample size n
N = # units in the lot (population)
n = # units in the sample
D = # nonconforming / target units in the lot
d = # nonconforming / target units in the sample
N-D = # conforming / not a target in the lot
n-d = # conforming / not a target in the sample

Definition, Theorem 5:
Correspondingly, the total area under a continuous probability distribution (normal curve) is equal to also. The tails of the curve never touch the x-axis. Thus, area can be used to estimate probabilities.

Area Under Curve
We can find the area under any curve by 2 methods.
We can make a large quantity of really narrow bins, find each individual bin area / rectangle area (under the curve), and add them all up.
We can integrate under the curve, to find the area bound by the curve and the X-axis.
This method is simpler, and gives more accurate results.

Area Under Curve
We may wish to find the area under the curve when, for example:
We want to find the number of students whose final semester grade falls between standard grade lettering schemes, and we have a collection of student scores.
Or if we want to find the number of people who arrive at a fast food restaurant chain after 11 am, and we have the associated data.
Etc.

Continuous Probability Distribution (aka. CRV)
A function of a Continuous Random Variable that describes the likelihood the variable occurs at a certain value within a given set of points by the integral of its density (prob. density) function (i.e. corresponding area under f(x) curve).
We shall calculate CRV over ranges

Continuous Probability Distribution (aka. CRV)
So we are seeking to find the area under some curve, y=f(x), bounded by the X-axis, between some values along the x-axis.

Normal Curve
AKA, Gaussian distribution of CRV.
Mean, Median, and Mode have the approx. same value.
Associated with mean () at center and dispersion ()
X  N(,) [when a random variable x is distributed normally]
Observations have equal likelihood on both sides of mean
*** When normally distributed, Mean is used to describe Central Tendency
The graph of the associated probability density function is called “Bell Shaped”

Statistics
Normal Curve
Developed from a frequency histogram, with  sample size,  intervals (bin width), the associated curve becomes smooth.
Typical of much data and distributions in reality.
The basis for most quality control techniques, formulas, and assumptions.
However, different Normal Distributions (pdf’s) can have varying means and SD’s.
The means and SD’s are independent (i.e. the mean does not effect the SD, and vice versa)

Standardized Normal Value
There are an infinite combination of mean and SD’s for normal curves.
Thus, the shapes of any two normal curves will be different.
To find the area under any normal curve, we can use the two methods previously described (rectangles and integration).
Or, we can use the Standard Normal Approach, thus using tables to find the area under the curve, and thus probabilities.
Standard Normal Distribution: N (0,1)

63. Confidential - Kenneth R. Martin
Statistics
Standardized Normal Value
Standard Normal Distribution has a Mean=0 and a SD=1
Standard Normal Transformation (z-Transformation), converts any normal distribution with any mean and any SD to a Standard Normal Distribution with mean 0 and SD 1
Standard Normal Distribution is distributed in “z-score” units, along the associated x-axis. Z-score specifies the number of SD units a value is above or below the mean (i.e. z = +1 indicates a value 1 SD above the mean).
A formula is used to convert your mean and SD to a z-score.
