of observations that fall into each bin
Plot frequency (or relative frequency) versus the values of
the variable

 The mean is not necessarily the 50th percentile of the distribution
(that’s the median)
The mean is not necessarily the most likely value of the random
variable (that’s the mode)

 •The negative binomial distribution is also
sometimes called the Pascal distribution
•When r = 1 the negative binomial distribution is
known as the geometric distribution
• The geometric distribution has many useful
applications in SQC

variables is approximately normally distributed regardless of
the distribution of each individual random variable in the sum

independently and identically exponential random variables each with
parameter λ.
The gamma distribution has many applications in reliability engineering.
