Distribution

Question: What would happen if DNA followed the Conservative distribution model? Why wouldn't the Conservative model of dna distribution work and what would be the results?

Answer: It would work but would allow for many mutations. The reason a semi-conservative model is used is because it allows for 'proof-reading'. When the cell replicates its DNA, the new strand is paired up with one of the original strands. The replication process isn't perfect, so sometimes mistakes are made. If this happens, then the two DNA strands will not pair up properly because some of the nucleotides won't be complementry. When this happens, the cells proof-reading machinery (usually DNA polymerase I) arrives at the site with the mutation and changes the new strand to match the old strand. If both strands were new, the cell wouldn't know which strand to correct, so has a 50/50 chance of getting it right, leading to more mutations. That is why semi-conservative method is used, it makes it easier to correct mistakes

Question: How do I create a distribution list using phone numbers for text message? I have a distribution list with email addresses, some people would rather be contacted by text. Can I make a distribution list that would use people's phone numbers instead of email addresses? I would like to do this from my yahoo account.

Answer: ya you cvan use it , but i dont know this distribution list you want to make in a phone or in computer system

Question: Is a distribution from a trust a taxable event for the beneficiaries? My kids are the beneficiaries of a trust that is distributing principal to them. Is that distribution taxable for them if it does not include current income?

Answer: Principal distributions from trusts are not taxable to the beneficiaries. However, income (dividend, interest, gains, earned income) distributions are taxable, to the extent they exceed expenses and losses of the trust, since they were earned on the principal of the trust after the death of the trustor. Income may be taxable to the trust or taxable to each individual beneficiary, and sometimes a beneficiary will have to report income even though it was not actually received. Conversely, it could be that after expenses and losses, the trust will have losses that may be allocable to each beneficiary. It is the responsibility of the trustee of the trust to file IRS Form Schedule K-1 for each beneficiary of the trust, showing reportable income, gains, and losses from the trust that are allocated to each beneficiary. The trustee must also send a copy of this Schedule K-1 to each beneficiary. In addition, your state likely has a state form Schedule K-1 that also must be filed. You can go the the IRS web site and find the relevant publications or talk to a tax preparer, or even better talk to the trustee (the trustee is liable for the accuracy of the K-1).

Question: What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution? EU (European Union) countries report that 62% of their labor force has received on-the-job training. In a sample of 100 individuals, you find that 10% have received on-the-job training. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution?

Answer: ANSWER: STANDARDIZED DEVIATION OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION = 0.049 Why??? STANDARDIZED DEVIATION OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTION : (√[p*(1 - p)/n]) = (√[0.62*(1 - 0.62)/100])

Question: How to find the estimated mean of a sampling distribution? The mean time to run a race by all of the runners is 60.75 mins and the standard deviation is 4.5 minutes. What is the estimated mean for a sampling distribution of the sample if the sample size is is 30? Also does anyone know what formula to use and if possible can you outline the steps to follow so.

Answer: x-bar (sample mean) would equal the population mean the equation for that is on the bottom of the second page of the AP Stat reference table (if that's the course you're asking this for)

Question: What is the distribution patterns of plants and animals in the red sea coral reef? Please find the distribution patterns for red sea coral reefs thank you and please provide a source thanks :]

Answer: Because of their restrictive ecological requirements, the global distribution of coral reef ecosystems generally corresponds to the distribution of shallow, submarine platforms within the tropics. Such geologic features happen to be concentrated towards the western ends of the three major ocean basins (Atlantic, Pacific and Indian) and this is where most of the world's coral reefs are to be found. However, there are really only two major oceanic "provinces" of coral reef development contained within the three great oceanic basins: (1) the Indo-Pacific, and (2) the Greater Caribbean

Question: What is the density function of a gamma distribution with mean u and index v? What is the density function of a gamma distribution with mean u and index v? I know this may be a very simple question, but there are so many parametrisations of the gamma distribution that it's confusing me. Thanks! (I'm trying to show that the variance of a gamma distribution with mean u and index v is u^2 / v.)

Answer: I don't know what you mean by "index" Wikipedia uses scale θ and shape k as the parameters and has: mean = k θ variance = k θ^2 so your u and v would be: k θ = u k θ^2 = u^2 / v which gives: u / v = θ or v = k The p.d.f for the gamma distribtuion in terms of k and θ is: f(x; k, θ) = x^(k-1) e^(-x/θ) / [ θ^k G(k)] where G(k) is the gamma function of k and the p.d.f. or the gamma distribution in terms of u and v is: g(x; u, v) = f(x; v, u/v)

Question: How can I calculate the binomial distribution and normal distribution on a graphical calculator? I need to know how to calculate the binomial and normal distribution on a graphical calculator, a Texas T182 to be precise, I have looked everywhere and have had found nothing and I have an exam in two days so help please!!!

Answer: Here are two sites that should help you out. The are set up for the 83/84, but they are just the big bothers to the 82. http://www.mathsnet.net/graphcal/tigraph.html http://www.geocities.com/calculatorhelp/ti83advancedstats.htm

Question: How to check if random numbers follow a given frequency distribution? Let us say that I use a random generator to generate a large (let us say 100000) random numbers. I want to test if these random numbers follow a given contrinuous frequency distribution (Normal distributio, for example). For that I can plot graph and compare with theretical graph. My question is:- I should plot what against what? As I understand the random numbers that I get should be plotted on the x-axis. What should I plot on the y-axis?

Answer: Assign each two numbers you generate to an x and a y coordinate. On a graph, you should have no discernible pattern. The way you can check that is to determine if there is a trend-line. That's basically , Flip the values and run it again to ensure you doing have some vertical trend-line hiding in your data.

Question: what distribution does the t distribution approach as the number of degrees of freedom tends to infinity? the answer is that it tends to a standard nomal distribution. but i don't understand why! please help!

Answer: The t-distribution is just a less-generalised version of the normal distribution. The normal distribution is only accurate if you have a large-enough sample to give you an accurate estimate of the mean and standard deviation of the whole population. Smaller samples (less than about 30) do not give sufficiently accurate estimates. so the actual population mean could be a long way away from the mean obtained from a sample of just 2 or 3. (Suppose you were an alien wanting to estimate the heights of people, and you just happened to abduct two basketball players. You might conclude that the earth people were on average 7 feet tall). So the t-distribution is flattened out in comparison to the normal distribution, and more spread out along the horizontal axis, and gives poorer estimates of population parameters than the normal distribution. In fact, there is a whole family of t-distribution curves, depending upon the size of the sample. For a sample of 2 or 3, the curve is very flat and spreads out a long way. But if the sample size increases, the estimates become more reliable, and the curve becomes tighter and the peak gets higher. When the sample size reaches about 30 (or more) the t-distribution is virtually indistinguishable from the normal distribution.

Question: How to find probability distribution with a given percentage.? For a particular brand of seed, on the average 10% of the seeds do not germinate. Find the probability distribution for a sample of 30 seeds. For a particular brand of seed, on the average 10% of the seeds do not germinate. Find the probability distribution for a sample of 30 seeds. 1. The probability distribution has a probability assigned to each value of the random variable. 2. The sum of all the assigned probabilities must be 1.

Answer: Let X be the number of seed that germinate. X has the binomial distribution with n = 30 trials and success probability p = 0.1 In general, if X has the binomial distribution with n trials and a success probability of p then P[X = x] = n!/(x!(n-x)!) * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x) for values of x = 0, 1, 2, ..., n P[X = x] = 0 for any other value of x. The probability mass function is derived by looking at the number of combination of x objects chosen from n objects and then a total of x success and n - x failures. Or, in other words, the binomial is the sum of n independent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials. X ~ Binomial( n , p ) the mean of the binomial distribution is n * p = 3 the variance of the binomial distribution is n * p * (1 - p) = 2.7 the standard deviation is the square root of the variance = √ ( n * p * (1 - p)) = 1.643168 The Probability Mass Function, PMF, f(X) = P(X = x) is: P( X = 0 ) = 0.04239116 P( X = 1 ) = 0.1413039 P( X = 2 ) = 0.2276562 P( X = 3 ) = 0.2360879 P( X = 4 ) = 0.1770659 P( X = 5 ) = 0.1023048 P( X = 6 ) = 0.04736332 P( X = 7 ) = 0.01804317 P( X = 8 ) = 0.00576379 P( X = 9 ) = 0.001565474 P( X = 10 ) = 0.0003652772 P( X = 11 ) = 7.379338e-05 P( X = 12 ) = 1.298217e-05 P( X = 13 ) = 1.997257e-06 P( X = 14 ) = 2.694712e-07 P( X = 15 ) = 3.193732e-08 P( X = 16 ) = 3.326804e-09 P( X = 17 ) = 3.044135e-10 P( X = 18 ) = 2.442824e-11 P( X = 19 ) = 1.714263e-12 P( X = 20 ) = 1.047605e-13 P( X = 21 ) = 5.542883e-15 P( X = 22 ) = 2.519492e-16 P( X = 23 ) = 9.737168e-18 P( X = 24 ) = 3.155564e-19 P( X = 25 ) = 8.414837e-21 P( X = 26 ) = 1.798042e-22 P( X = 27 ) = 2.95974e-24 P( X = 28 ) = 3.5235e-26 P( X = 29 ) = 2.7e-28 P( X = 30 ) = 1e-30

Question: What is the probability distribution of the number of aces? A poker hand (5 cards) is dealt from a pack of 52 cards. what is the probability distribution of the number of aces? ie. P(0 aces), P (1 ace), P (2 aces), etc. what is the sum of these probabilities? Explain.

Answer: there are 52 cards out of which 4 are aces and 48 are non-aces P[0 aces] = 48C5 / 52C5 = 1712304 / 52C5 P[1 ace] = 4C1*48C4 / 52C5 = 778320 / 52C5 P[2 aces] = 4C2*48C3 / 52C5 = 103776 /52C5 P[3aces] = 4C3*48C2 / 52C5 = 4512 / 52C5 P[4 aces] = 4C4*48C1 / 52C5 = 48 /52C5 total probability = 2598960 / 52C5 = 1

Question: How was poor income distribution a cause of the Great Depression? I'm doing a school project and it says that poor income distribution was cause of the Great Depression. I've searched for reasoning, but I can't seem to come across any. Help me, please?

Answer: a poor distribution means a big gap between the rich and poor. This means that the rich gets most of the money and the money doesn't flow that well in the economy because only that small percentage owns majority of the money. A lot of things lead to the Great depressions, the main one i remember from last year was the crash of the stock market. Nevermind the stock market, you want info on the poor income distribution. um... by a poor distribution there is an opportunity cost for those that want to start a business for example but are too poor. This is a loss of a business that could offer jobs to those that are unemployed.

Question: What is the efficiency rating of electrical power generation and distribution system in India? It is high time to take stringent corrective action to reduce the losses in generation and distribution system of electricity. Privatizing this sector can certainly improve quality of service and efficiency.

Answer: A majority of the thermal generating units are outmoded and need drastic remodeling or replacement.In addition to the heavy loss of power in transmission from the grid to the consumers,heavy large scale theft under the patronage of politicians and local ganglords accounts for short supply to genuine consumers.Residential units and home-owners in general have to bear the brunt of the shortage. Complaints fall on deaf ears as power distribution agencies plead helplessness in tackling the illegal and legal industrial units and slums engaged in wholesale and massive theft of power for fear of their lives. Privatizing the sector alone will not solve the problem.Severe action should be taken against the thieves including slum-dwellers with a minimum jail term of 10 years and a fine of Rs 2.5 million.These slum-dwellers are also engaged in theft of water on a massive scale.All slums upto a distance of 500 meters from the pipelines should be demolished forthwith.Besides stealing water,these people are also responsible for spread of serious diseases by polluting the water which is distributed to households.But then,the government is not too keen to act because of vote-bank politics.

Question: Can someone please explain what the word distribution means in statistics? This class I'm taking throws the word distribution around like we should all know what it means. But it doesn't mean simply to distribute something, like handing out candy to someone. I looked it up in a glossary for statistics and the definition assumes I understand all kinds of terminology, which I don't. So in simple, easy to understand terms, what does the word distribution mean when one is talking about statistical data and experiments or tests.

Answer: Normally concerning school work with statistics being asked to describe the distribution means presenting the data in a table format. The table would include the data values and, depending on the specifics, include calculations such as variance, mean, deviations, etc.

Question: What is the best distribution network for a Maagazine? We're publishing a new magazine, and sales and distribution is an important aspect of our development... so can anyone tell me how we can get our magazine in front of as many Vendors as possible? Thanks.

Answer: no problem ..............

Question: Whats the definition of distribution in a mathimatical terms? I need a simple defintion of what a distrbution is in math. When I look it up in wesites they give me this difficult concept of what a distribution is, and all I need is a simple understanding definition. Thanx to whoever bothers to answer. XD.

Answer: a distribution is a function used in probability and statistics with a couple properties. the distribution function is non - negative. e.g., f(x) ≥ 0 for all values of x the area under the function, if integrated, will equal 1. the function in a discrete case will give you the solution to P(X = x) there are more complete definitions for discrete random variables, continuous random variables and mixtures.
