Examples of Pareto Distribution in the following topics:
-
- The "shape of a distribution" refers to the shape of a probability distribution.
- The shape of a distribution will fall somewhere in a continuum where a flat distribution might be considered central; and where types of departure from this include:
- A normal distribution is usually regarded as having short tails, while a Pareto distribution has long tails.
- Even in the relatively simple case of a mounded distribution, the distribution may be skewed to the left or skewed to the right (with symmetric corresponding to no skew).
- Sample distributions, when the sampling statistic is the mean, are generally expected to display a normal distribution.
-
- Qualitative frequency distributions can be displayed in bar charts, Pareto charts, and pie charts.
- Sometimes a relative frequency distribution is desired.
- A special type of bar graph where the bars are drawn in decreasing order of relative frequency is called a Pareto chart .
- This pie chart shows the frequency distribution of a bag of Skittles.
- This graph shows the frequency distribution of a bag of Skittles.
-
- The normal (Gaussian) distribution is a commonly used distribution that can be used to display the data in many real life scenarios.
- In probability theory, the normal (or Gaussian) distribution is a continuous probability distribution, defined by the formula:
- A random variable with a Gaussian distribution is said to be normally distributed and is called a normal deviate.
- If μ=0 and σ=1, the distribution is called the standard normal distribution or the unit normal distribution, and a random variable with that distribution is a standard normal deviate.
- Such variables may be better described by other distributions, such as the log-normal distribution or the Pareto distribution.
-
- His reasoning was that the median and quartiles, being functions of the empirical distribution, are defined for all distributions, unlike the mean and standard deviation.
- Moreover, the quartiles and median are more robust to skewed or heavy-tailed distributions than traditional summaries (the mean and standard deviation).

- Normal distributions are a family of distributions all having the same general shape.
- The normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution, defined by the formula:
- If μ=0 and σ=1, the distribution is called the standard normal distribution or the unit normal distribution, and a random variable with that distribution is a standard normal deviate.
- The simplest case of normal distribution, known as the Standard Normal Distribution, has expected value zero and variance one.
- Many sampling distributions based on a large N can be approximated by the normal distribution even though the population distribution itself is not normal.
-
- Define the Chi Square distribution in terms of squared normal deviates
- The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates.
- The area of a Chi Square distribution below 4 is the same as the area of a standard normal distribution below 2, since 4 is 22.
- As the degrees of freedom increases, the Chi Square distribution approaches a normal distribution.
- The Chi Square distribution is very important because many test statistics are approximately distributed as Chi Square.
-
- Student's t-distribution (or simply the t-distribution) is a family of continuous probability distributions that arises when estimating the mean of a normally distributed population in situations where the sample size is small and population standard deviation is unknown.
- The t-distribution with $n − 1$ degrees of freedom is the sampling distribution of the t-value when the samples consist of independent identically distributed observations from a normally distributed population.
- The t-distribution was first derived as a posterior distribution in 1876 by Helmert and Lüroth.
- Fisher, who called the distribution "Student's distribution" and referred to the value as t.
- Note that the t-distribution becomes closer to the normal distribution as ν increases.

- Your instructor will let you know if he or she wishes to cover these distributions.
- A probability distribution function is a pattern.
- These distributions are tools to make solving probability problems easier.
- Each distribution has its own special characteristics.
- Learning the characteristics enables you to distinguish among the different distributions.
