Question

a) Explain the term dispersion with example. Write down the difference between bopuilation standard deviation and sample standard deviation with appropriate equation. (2+3=5 points) (b) What is Gaussian distribution function? Explain with a graph/plot how this distribution varies depending on your standard deviation. (1+4=5 points) (c) A deviation of 2.0. Find the probability of a single reading from this distribution being: Gaussian distribution has a mean of 6.0 and a parent population standard i. Between 4.0 and 10.0 (5 points). ii. Less than or equal to 4.0 (5 points). ii. Between 2.0 and 5.5 (5 points)

Explanation / Answer

Dispersion is defined as the breaking up or scattering of something. An example of a dispersion is throwing little pieces of paper all over a floor

If the number of events is very large, then the Gaussian distribution function may be used to describe physical events. The Gaussian distribution is a continuous function which approximates the exact binomial distribution of events.
