The Distribution of Order Statistics for Discrete Random Variables
... Results for order statistics drawn from discrete parent populations are sparse and usually specialized to fit one particular discrete population (e.g., Young 1970, Srivastava 1974, Ciardo et al. 1995). Arnold et al. (1992) devote a chapter to discrete order statistics. We will present an algorithm i ...

... Since the binomial is integer-valued, we apply the continuity correction and calculate P (−.5 ≤ S180 ≤ 1.5) instead. We calculate that the expected value is µ = 180 · p = 5 p and the standard deviation is σ = 180p(1 − p) ≈ 2.205. Now, as always, we convert this question to a question about the stand ...

Suppose there were instead only people with heights 5’ and 7’, and an equal number of each, then the average would still be 6’ though these are very different distributions. It is useful to characterize the ...

... Note that both of the sample means above differ somewhat from the population mean of 68. The point of examining a sampling distribution is to be able to see the reliability of a random sample. To do this, you generate many trials — say, 1000 — and look at the distribution of the trials. For example, ...
