where n is the index and p the parameter Suitable when there is a fixed no of trials, each trial may be a success

or failure where p is constant, trials are independent.

is the null hypothesis is the alternative hypothesis One tailed test e.g. Two tailed test e.g. At lower, to find critical region Remember to halve the significance for a two tailed test. At upper, to find critical region

Events occur singly, independently of each other, and randomly within a given time interval at a constant rate. Binomial can be approximated with Poisson (parameter np) when n is large and p is small.

Especially remember to contextualise answers.

Probability density function (PDF) = f(x) area under the curve = 1

e.g.

Cumulative density function (CDF) = F(x)

Median: Mode: highest point of pdf. Mode < median < mean shows positive skew

Population: A complete collection of items. Statistic: A random variable calculated as a function of the known observations from a population. Sampling distribution: Gives all possible values of sample statistics, for all samples of size 50, and the probability of each one happening. Sampling unit: A person/object to be sampled. Sampling frame: The collection of all of sampling units. Cenus: Every member of the population is used and is unbiased. However, it is costly and takes a long time.
