Hi,

Carry out a chi-squared test for the following table of frequencies of X ∼ Binomial(5,p) variates when (a) p = 0.3

x 0 1 2 3 4 5
Observed 162 346 303 149 36 4
frequency

Now I know how to carry out the chi-squared test once I have found the expected frequencies but the answers states that the frequencies are,

x 0 1 2 3 4 5
Exp(p = 0.3) 168.1 360.2 308.7 132.3 28.4 2.4

What formula did they use to calculate these frequencies?

Thanks

Are you asking for why "expected frequency" is treated the same as "probability"? I haven't checked the table. Is it a table for the binomial probability distribution?
 


Hi,

I'm asking how the figured out these expected frequencies..
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
