Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around how to draw an elliptic abacus using pgfplots and TikZ, particularly in the context of statistics and binomial confidence intervals. Participants seek clarification on the specific functions and parameters needed for the graph.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests assistance in identifying the function necessary to draw an elliptic abacus in statistics using pgfplots and TikZ.
- Another participant asks for clarification on whether the inquiry pertains to creating a TikZ plot in general, a specific type of plot, or a particular set of functions.
- A participant mentions that the context involves calculating confidence intervals for a binomial distribution under certain conditions (nf<20 and n(1-f)<20), but expresses uncertainty about the graph's representation.
- One participant provides a formula for the confidence interval of a binomial distribution, noting the potential ambiguity regarding the variables involved (specifically the meaning of 'p' and 'f').
- There is a request for additional information regarding the axes and their intended representation in the graph.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
The discussion remains unresolved, with multiple competing views and uncertainties regarding the specific functions and representations needed for the graph.
Contextual Notes
Participants express limitations in understanding the graph's requirements and the definitions of the variables involved, which may affect their ability to provide accurate assistance.
