Contaminating 2 Normal Distributions


This applet illustrates the result of contaminating 2 Normal distributions. There are two slider bars which allow changing the mean and standard deviation parameters of the 2 distributions. The contamination distribution is the result of combining these two distributions. The combination is controlled with the rho slider bar such that the result is equal to ρ*population1 + (1-ρ)*population2.
