Outline of Lecture 13

1. Relative frequency and probability concept lab

2. The sampling with and without replacement concept lab (under sampling from 0-1 population concept lab)

3. Finding binomial probabilities:

   • Calculator -> Statistical tables -> Binomial gives a dialog box where you can enter n, pi, and k for which stataquest will find P(X=k), P(X<=k), and P(X>=k).

4. Finding probabilities and quantiles for standard normal:

   • Calculator -> Statistical tables -> Normal gives a dialog box where you can enter z for which stataquest will find P(Z<=z), P(Z>=z), and 2P(Z<=|z|). Note what stataquest calls this last probability

   • Calculator -> Inverse statistical tables -> Normal gives a dialog box where you can enter p for which stataquest will find a z so that P(Z<=z)=p, that is, the 100pth percentile of the Z distribution.

5. Finding probabilities for general normal distributions

6. Central limit theorem concept lab

7. Finding probabilities for sample means

8. Normal approximation to binomial concept lab (under sampling from 0-1 population concept lab)
