The discussion revolves around drawing an elliptic abacus using pgfplots and TikZ in the context of statistics, specifically related to binomial confidence intervals. The original poster seeks clarification on the specific function needed for the graph, indicating uncertainty about the function itself. A response highlights the confidence interval for a binomial distribution, suggesting a formula involving the probability of success and the number of trials. However, there is confusion regarding the graph's axes and the exact nature of the variables involved. Further information is requested to better understand the graph's requirements.

Could you help me please
With which function can we draw elliptic abacus in Statistic?
I want to draw this function with pgfplots, tikz
thank you

Hi yakoum! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

Can you clarify what you're asking for?

Is it about how to create a tikz plot at all?
Or a tikz plot with axes like that?
Or is it about a specific set of functions? If so, which ones?
 
I want to know with which function we can draw this graph(I don't know the function).
in Statistic, it concern binomial when we calculate confidence interval when nf<20 and n(1-f) <20
Is it clear?

Well... the confidence interval for a binomial distribution would be $np \pm \sqrt{np(1-p)}$, where $p$ is the probability of a success and $n$ is the number of trials.
But to be honest, I don't understand your graph yet. You have a $p$ there, which might be the probability of a success, but it could also be the p-value related to the confidence interval. The $f$ axis might be one or the other - I can't tell.
Either way, if I plot it myself, with some assumptions, I get graphs that are somewhat similar, but not the same.

Can you provide some more information?
What are the axes supposed to represent?
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
