Binomial Distribution

Functionalities

  • Get a plot of Binomial Distribution B(n,p); n is the total sample size, p is the probability of success / event from the total sample; np=mean, np(1-p)=variance
  • Get the probability of a certain position (at the red point)

Case Example

Suppose we wanted to know the probability of 2 lymphocytes of 10 white blood cells if the probability of any cell being a lymphocyte is 0.2

Please follow the Steps, and Outputs will give real-time analytical results.

Binomial probability plot

The blue curve is the normal distribution with mean n*p and sd n*p*(1-p). It indicates the normal approximation of binomial distribution.

Probability at the observed number of success /event (Red-Dot)

Explanation: the probability of 2 lymphocytes was about 0.03

Poisson Distribution

Functionalities

  • Draw a plot of Poisson Distribution P(Rate); Rate indicates the expected number of occurrences; Rate = mean =variance
  • Get the probability of a certain position (at the red point)

Case Example

Suppose the number of death from typhoid fever over a 12 month period is Poisson distributed with parameter rate=2.3. What is the probability distribution of the number of deaths over a 6-month period?

Probability at the observed number of occurrences (Red-Dot)

Explanation: the probability distribution until 5 month was 0.97. Thus, the probability distribution after 6 months was about 0.03
