Poisson distribution approximates hypergeometrical and binomial when pN → ∞; n → ∞; p → 0 given рп has the finite limit рп = λ. This approximation is normally used if р < 0,1.

The mathematical expectation and the variance for a random quantity distributed by Poisson’s law coincide and are equal to the value of the parameter λ = рп.

Normally distributed random quantities

Most of the experimentally obtained, measured or observed continuous random quantities are distributed by normal law:

ϕn (x) =

1

 

 

−

(x − a)2

 

 

 

 

exp

 

 

.

σ 2π

 

 

 

2σ

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The quantities σ and а are normal distribution parameters. The plot for this distribution is a normal curve or a Gaussian (Fig. 4.2).

Fig. 4.2. Normal curve

A normal curve with the parameters а = 0 and σ = 1 is called standard. The function ϕn (x) has the following properties:

∙it exists at all actual values of the argument;

∙ has the extreme point at х = а, ϕn

(а) =

;

 

 

 

 

σ

∙is symmetrical about the axis through х = а;

166

∙has two knee points, left and right of х = а with abscissas, respectively,

x= a − σ and x = a + σ .

It is easy to verify that normal distribution parameters have the meaning of the mathematical expectation and the RMS deviation:

a = M(X) и σ = D( X ) .

It can be shown that normal curves with coinciding σ are identically shaped and differ just in the maximum coordinate shift. The value of the variance, and more exactly, σ (RMSD), influences greatly the normal curve shape. With a decrease of σ, the curve tends to become “narrower”, extends upwards and gets needle-like; if σ increases, the curve lowers, gets “wider” and approaches the abscissa axis.

If a random quantity Х is distributed normally, then

The formula (4.25) is simplified if the interval limits are symmetrical about the mathematical expectation:

Lognormal distribution

A continuous random quantity Х has a lognormal distribution if its logarithm obeys to normal law. The probability density for lognormal distribution is:

ϕ (x) =

 

1

 

 

−

(ln x − ln a)

exp

 

.

It can be proved that numerical characteristics of a lognormally distributed random quantity have the following form:

167

M (X ) = a exp(σ 2 / 2), Me(X ) = a,

(4.28)

D(X ) = a2 exp(σ 2 )(exp(σ 2 ) −1).

Lognormal distribution is rather commonly used to describe a distribution of profits, a distribution of impurities in alloys and minerals, the longevity of products in wear and aging conditions and so on.

Distributions relating to normal distribution

In mathematical statistics, the most common distributions are χ 2 (Pearson), t (Student) and F (Fisher) distributions. All these distributions relate to normal distribution. In turn, common use of normal distribution is determined, as we will see, exclusively by the central limit theorem (CLT) (see Section 4.6). Due to being specially important, all above-mentioned distributions are tabulated and contained in various manuals and reference books [3].

Hereinbelow, we have introduced one-dimensional standard normal distribution as a distribution with the mathematical expectation а = 0 and

the variance σ 2 = 1, its density being

ϕ (x) = Ф'(x) =

 

1

 

−

x2

 

 

 

 

 

e 2 .

In a general case, one-dimensional normal distribution is characterized

by the mathematical expectation а and the variance σ 2 . Then, any onedimensional normal distribution can be treated as a distribution of a random quantity:

η = a + ξ σ 2 ,

where the random quantity ξ obeys to standard normal law.

Pearson distribution. Let ξ1,...,ξn be independent random quantities distributed by standard normal law. The distribution of the random quantity:

χ 2 = ξ12 + ... + ξn2

168

is called χ 2 –distribution (Pearson distribution) with п degrees of freedom.

Further, the following property will be useful to us. Let

ξ1,...,ξn be

independent normally distributed random quantities with the identical parameters а and σ 2 . We shall assume that

η= 1 (ξ1 + ... + ξn ) . n

Then the random quantity

χ 2 =

1

[(ξ1 −η)2 + ... + (ξn −η)2 ]

(4.31)

σ 2

 

 

 

has the χ 2 – distribution but with п– 1 degrees of freedom.

There is one more interpretation (case) of Pearson distribution. Let п independent tests be conducted (polynomial case or Bernoulli case), in each of which one of the events Аi (I = 1,…, L) may occur with the probability рi. Let us denote the number of the occurrences of the event Аi by тi. Then it follows from the multidimensional analog of the Moivre-Laplace integral theorem that the random quantity:
