18-8 Distribution

There is a variety of different types of distribution, but the most well-known is

“normal distribution,” which is essential for performing statistical calculations.

Normal distribution is a symmetrical distribution centered on the greatest occur-

rences of mean data (highest frequency), with the frequency decreasing as you

move away from the center. Poisson distribution, geometric distribution, and

various other distribution shapes are also used, depending on the data type.

Certain trends can be determined once the distribution shape is determined. You

can calculate the probability of data taken from a distribution being less than a

specific value.

For example, distribution can be used to calculate the yield rate when manufactur-

ing some product. Once a value is established as the criteria, you can calculate

normal probability density when estimating what percent of the products meet the

criteria. Conversely, a success rate target (80% for example) is set up as the

hypothesis, and normal distribution is used to estimate the proportion of the

products will reach this value.

Normal probability density calculates the probability density of normal distribu-

tion from a specified

x value.

Normal distribution probability calculates the probability of normal distribution

data falling between two specific values.

Inverse cumulative normal distribution calculates a value that represents the

location within a normal distribution for a specific cumulative probability.

Student- t probability density calculates t probability density from a specified x

value.

Student- t distribution probability calculates the probability of t distribution data

falling between two specific values.

Like t distribution, distribution probability can also be calculated for chi-square, F,

binomial, Poisson, and geometric distributions.

While the statistical data list is on the display, press 5 (DIST) to display the

distribution menu, which contains the following items.

•{NORM}/{t}/{CHI}/{F}/{BINM}/{POISN}/{GEO} ... {normal}/{t}/{χ

}/{F}/

{binomial}/{Poisson}/{geometric} distribution

About data type specification

For some types of distribution you can select data type using the following menu.

•{List}/{Var} ... specifies {list data}/{parameter data}

1 2 ... 327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 ... 485 486
