- Random vector
- (there are three random variables in this random vector)
-
-
Given the joint distribution, you can find any marginal information that you want
T/F
True
-
Given marginal information, you cannot calculate the joint unless...?
They are independent
-
What are the two most commonly used measures of association between random variables?
-
What is the covariance computing formula?
-
-
Why is covariance difficult to interpret compared to correlation?
- Covariance has units, so interpretation is difficult
- Correlation is unitless
-
-
then X and Y are uncorrelated (Not Independent!!!)
-
What is the value of ρ when X and Y are independent?
(Alternately, If given rho=0, it translates to X and Y being uncorrelated, not independent!)
-
What is the range of correlation?
-
an exact linear relationship
-
When it reasonable to use a binomial distribution when a hyper-geometric distribution would normally otherwise be considered?
When sample size is small relative to our population size
-
point mass
A probability distribution with unity probability mass at one specific outcome, and zero probability mass everywhere else
-
-
A binomial distribution can be represented by a ___?____ when n is large
Poisson
