what two conditions must be met in order for the CLT to apply for
proportional testing? - ANSWER ✔✔1: sample must be independent
and identically distributed; like random assignment/sampling
2: sample must be sufficiently large
normal density curve - ANSWER ✔✔symmetric about the mean μ;
has standard deviation σ; total area under the curve = 1.0; values of the
random variable X on x-axis; probabilities are represented by areas
under the curve;
, what do the numbers in the N(0,1) equation represent? - ANSWER
✔✔the first number is the mean (mu), and the second is the SD (sigma)
what is the equation for a standard normal curve/distribution, and what
do the axes represent? - ANSWER ✔✔N(0,1) the x axis represents z-
scores, and the y is the probability
what is the domain for a standard normal curve? which particular interval
are we interested in? - ANSWER ✔✔the actual domain=infinite, but
we are interested mostly in (mu +/- 3sigma)
difference between pnorm and qnorm commands - ANSWER
✔✔pnorm: gives proportion/percent of data within the given range
qnorm: gives the cutoff range for the percentile of data inputted
what are the required arguments for pnorm? qnorm? - ANSWER
✔✔pnorm(upper cutoff, mean, SD)
qnorm(upper percentile cutoff, mean, SD)
when do you use the lower.tail=false argument? - ANSWER
✔✔during p/qnorm commands, when you are interested in the right side
distribution
