Distribution

7-11 Distribution

Though there are a number of different types of distributions, the one most commonly used

is the “Normal Distribution”, which is an essential type of distribution for statistical

calculations. Other types of distributions include the Poisson distribution and geometric

distribution. The type of distribution used depends on the type of data being handled.

The shape of a distribution makes it possible to determine trends in data somewhat. You can

specify a value and calculate the probability that any data value from the distribution is less

than the specified value. In other words, you can determine what percent from the bottom

that data value occurs within the distribution.

The following is a list of distributions and the description of what each one calculates.

Normal Probability

Density

DescriptionDistribution Name

Calculates the probability density of normal distribution from a

specified

x value.

Normal Distribution

Probability

Specifies two values and calculates the probability of normal

distribution data falling between them.

Inverse Cumulative

Normal Distribution

Specifies a cumulative probability and calculates the value at that

location in a normal distribution.

Student-t Probability

Density

Calculates

t probability density from a specified x value.

Student-

t Distribution

Probability

Specifies two values and calculates the probability of Student-

distribution data falling between them.

In addition to the above distributions, the ClassPad provides information on the

distribution, F distribution, binomial distribution, Poisson distribution, and geometric

distribution. Commands to achieve this are described in the following section.
