... transformation multiplies a measure of spread by |b| and changes a measure of center m into bm+a. In statistics we are often interested in measuring how many standard deviations away from the mean an observation lays. We can obtain this value by using a linear transformation.

... supply 10%, 20%, and 70% of the bulbs respectively. It has been determined that company A’s bulbs are 1% defective while company B’s are 3% defective and company C’s are 4% defective. If a bulb is selected at random and found to be defective, what is the probability that it came from supplier B? ...

Many variables in the social and natural world are normally distributed. The normal distribution is a formula that draws a family of symmetric curves. Each distin ...

It is known that the test returns a correct positive result in only 98% of the cases and a correct negative result in only 97% of the cases.
