ABSTRACT

The previous chapters, 11 through 16, have helped our understanding of the role probability plays in statistics. The next set of chapters, 17 through 22, provides incite into how probability distributions for different types of statistics are formed. This chapter indicates the relationship between the binomial distribution (frequency distribution of dichotomous data) and normal distribution (frequency distribution of continuous data). The next chapter presents the Monte Carlo technique, which is used to create statistical distributions. The remaining chapters present several statistical distributions and how they are used in the field of statistics.
