Poisson distribution as a limiting form of the Binomial distribution

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Simeon Dennis Poisson derived his distribution as a limiting form of the binomial distribution as while stays constant. It is very instructive for aspiring mathematical statisticians and economists to see the details. We have and . The binomial distribution pmf then becomes which when simplifying . Recall that the limit of a product is the [...]

Hypothesis testing for population proportion using one sample.

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Here we are concerned with making an inference about a population proportion consisting of two categories(like Success or Failures, Pro-Villar or Anti-Villar) from data obtained in a sample of size . The null hypothesis is that the population proportion . Mean and variance of sample proportion From the binomial distribution, we know that the mean [...]
